“Inspiring Young Minds Today for Tomorrow”
Jackson State University hosted the NSTI Program for nine consecutive years (2009 - 2018) with the support from Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) and FHWA. This residential program will provide a well-balanced curriculum and an environment that is conducive to both academic and personal development, promotes interpersonal skills and exposes students to real-world transportation issues. These will be accomplished through a series of classroom activities, field trips, design projects, and recreational activities. In 2021, JSU resumed the MSTI program with online format due to the impact of COVID-19. It is the first time that we offered the virtual summer program. It has many challenges, but we successfully held a two-week virtual program with 23 selected participants. We will continue to build on our previous experiences and successes while expanding our horizon to make the next MSTI program even better.
