Bowen Mansell

I am a Junior at Mississippi State University majoring in Biochemistry with a pre-med concentration. I am minoring in Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics. I am a member of the Shackouls Honors College through which I plan to pursue the Cursus Honorum curriculum. I am heavily involved in the Brickfire Mentoring Program, in which once a week I visit the Brickfire Daycare in an underserved area of Starkville and mentor an assigned mentee with anything they need help with. I have worked as a Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader for Calculus I through MSU’s Center for Student Success where I reattended Calculus I lectures, worked closely with an assigned faculty, and held two free and optional afternoon sessions where I facilitated further learning of the material through a variety of collaborative learning techniques. I have shadowed physicians and volunteered at multiple hospitals in Mississippi.

This semester I will work as a SI Mentor, where I will observe other SI leaders and offer mentoring. I will also be working as an ambassador for MSU’s Pre-Health Advising Office, and will be conducting research within the Chemistry department.

My overall career goals lie in medicine, through which I wish to not only heal others, but to expand the awareness and knowledge of medicine across the country.
