This time around, she becomes the first<br \/>\nUM engineering student to study at Zhejiang University, the nation&#8217;s<br \/>\nleading engineering school.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m very excited about doing research there,&#8221; said Hailey, who is<br \/>\npursuing a bachelor&#8217;s degree with a triple major that also includes<br \/>\nchemistry and chemical engineering. Her study is part of a five-year<br \/>\nresearch collaboration on controlling pollutants from coal-fired<br \/>\nboilers. She expects her project will focus on studying carbon<br \/>\nemissions.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>Hailey said that she was led to Ole Miss because of her dual desire to become an engineer and to be fluent in a foreign language.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I like that the School of Engineering faculty is so accessible to its students,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I feel that I&#8217;m getting a competitive yet personal education here. After I learned that Ole Miss offers a degree in Chinese, I knew that this was the right place for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Department chairs in Hailey&#8217;s major fields of study boast of her achievements.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anna is an exemplary student in every respect,&#8221; said Clint Williford, chair and professor of chemical engineering. &#8220;She has maintained a strong GPA while pursuing a five-year, three-degree program. Through intensive study, she passed a language exam qualifying her to take engineering courses in China.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #000000; margin: 5px; padding: 6px; width: 300px; float: right; background-color: #ffffff\" class=\"jce?caption\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ezing.me\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/stories\/0409\/anna-hailey--ryan-cook-1.jpg\" alt=\"anna-hailey--ryan-cook-1.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0pt; float: right; width: 300px; height: 210px\" title=\"anna-hailey--ryan-cook-1.jpg\" height=\"210\" width=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 6px; color: #000000; text-align: left; clear: both\" class=\"jce?caption?text\">\n<b>University of Mississippi senior Anna Hailey (right) tutors fellow student Ryan Cook of Schenectady, N.Y., in Chinese.

She is president of the campus chapter of Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society, member of Gamma Beta Phi honor society, an Associated Student Body senator and an Ole Miss Ambassador. She has also been a member of the Pride of the South Marching Band color guard and a volunteer assistant in UM academic competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Already with enough academic credit hours to be qualified as a senior, Hailey expects to complete requirements for her bachelor&#8217;s degree with three majors in 2011. She plans to attend graduate school, then focus on her career goal of becoming a researcher in an area that will allow her to use her Chinese language abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Hailey is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. William Hailey of Muscle Shoals.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch video of Anna Hailey.
