Administrative Assistant I

Time in position/at MSU: 1 year 5 months
Born and raised in Starkville, Mississippi, Hannah Howell has always cheered for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, so when she started her job at the university in November 2022, she felt right at home.
“They have welcomed me with open arms since day one, and I am so thankful to be here,” said Howell. “Mississippi State is a great place to work, and I’m so fortunate for this opportunity.”
As the administrative assistant in the department of Food Science, Nutrition and Health Promotion within the MSU College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Howell wears many hats. From planning events and workshops to supervising student workers, her contributions help those around her thrive.
“I really enjoy getting to do so many different things; no two days are the same.
“In the fall, we competed in the tailgate competition, and we had a tailgate outside our building. It was so much fun! I love how our department really comes together, and we show up and support each other,” said Howell.
Howell and her husband, Wesley, have been married for 12 years and have three children, JW, 10, Wyatt, 8, and Walker, 4. They enjoy anything outdoors—vacationing at the beach, camping, and cheering on the Mississippi State Diamond Dawgs.
