Sara Frederic joined the College of Arts & Sciences in August 2016 as the Director of Development. She earned an Associate of Arts degree in broadcast communication from Meridian Community College in 2006 before continuing her higher education at Mississippi State University. While at MSU, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in communication with a concentration in public relations in 2008 and two master’s degrees, an MBA and a master’s of sport administration, in 2010 and 2011 respectively. She is actively pursuing her doctorate degree in philosophy with a concentration in Public Policy and Administration.

Upon graduation, she married her husband Stephen Frederic in May 2012. Stephen earned his bachelor’s degree in business information systems and a master’s degree in business information systems. Stephen is currently the Interim Associate Director within the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness.

Stephen and Sara adore their two daughters, Ollie and Ella. Both girls, like their parents, are diehard Bulldogs and are just as excited as they are to be in Starkville – back to the land of maroon and white. Hail State!
