All-Time Greatest The leading scorer in MBU sports history, Jessica Carter ’08, returned to campus in January for a ceremony honoring her contributions to the basketball program and the university. Amassing 1,943 points in her four-year career as a Fighting Squirrel, Carter earned first team All-USA South honors as a senior and was named to the USA South 50th Anniversary Team in 2014.
Seal of Approval The Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation has given MBU the first-ever designation of a Social Impact Campus, recognizing the university’s strong commitment to community service and social entrepreneurship.
