Over the past 12 years, Ryan Upshaw has experienced several memorable moments at the University of Mississippi.
The assistant dean of engineering has earned both his bachelor’s (BA psychology ’06) and master’s (MA education ’08) degrees and received promotions within the university’s Office of Admissions, Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College and School of Engineering.
