Jason Frulla of Union has been named Outstanding undergraduate student for the Division of Business for fall 2020. He is one of five Mississippi State University students to be recognized at Meridian’s commencement ceremonies Tuesday, December 1 at the MSU Riley Center.

Frulla's educational journey began at the age of 40, after he remarried and moved to Union in 2012.

“I told my wife I regretted I never went to college, and that I was thinking about going back to school,” he said, “so she encouraged me to enroll at East Central Community College since we lived so close and she had lots of ties to the school.” He later transferred to MSU-Meridian to earn his bachelor's degree.
