Mickey Little, information resources manager for Georgia-Pacific Corp., presented MSU President Malcolm Portera a donation of $30,000 for the Wood Magic Science Fair mobile classroom. The "classroom" is a 44-foot trailer equipped with all the supplies and materials needed to produce a mini-WMSF on-site at schools, forestry field days, and expositions. The moble classroom has travled to more than 30 towns in Mississippi, as well as locations in Kentucky, Arkansas, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Georgia. More than 18,000 individuals have participated in the traveling classroom's Wood Magic programs. In 1996, another Georgia-Pacific donation helped purchase the mobile classroom. The latest gift by the pulp, paper and building products business brings its total Wood Magic contributions to more than $100,000.
