Honor Our Heroes
Today, all of us at Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
❤️ Melissa Gordon Pringle, Ph.D. and Rebekah Phyfer attended the Go Red for Women Girls Night Out last night. We are proud to be a part of this incredible organization and support the American Heart Association at their beautiful event hosted at Bridal Path in Madison, MS!
It’s always inspiring to gather with local women who are passionate about making a difference and raising awareness for heart health. Grateful to be part of such an impactful community. ❤️
Today’s lunch and learn at Allen Engineering and Services was anything but ordinary—we swapped sandwiches for CPR dummies and learned how to save lives between bites!
Our team got hands-on with CPR and First Aid training, and while there were a few laughs (turns out chest compressions are a workout!), the message was serious: being prepared can make all the difference.
💡 Why it matters:
* Emergencies don’t RSVP.
* Knowing what to do = confidence + calm.
* You never know when you might be the hero.
Big thanks to our awesome instructor, Nathan Bell with Bell Life Safety, and everyone who joined in.
As the NCASI, Inc. Conference wraps up in Buckhead, GA, we at Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. are thankful for the chance to be part of such a valuable event.

Thank you to NCASI for hosting a thoughtful and impactful gathering—we’re proud to be part of this community.
Dr. Melissa Gordon Pringle, Ph.D. of Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. attended the 11th Annual Women’s Day Luncheon sponsored by International Paper and associated with the Sanderson Farms Championship Golf Tournament. The luncheon raised funds for the Children’s of Mississippi and featured Elizabeth Heiskell as the keynote speaker. Eating well and supporting a good cause…..what a great day out of the office!
⛳️ We didn’t swing clubs, but we definitely brought the fun!
Allen Engineering and Science’s Rebekah Phyfer and Owen McIntosh held down the fort at Mississippi Manufacturers Association PAC Golf Tournament — armed with snacks, drinks, and the ultimate challenge: Guess how many tees were in the jar (spoiler: it was harder than it looked 👀).
It was great meeting everyone who stopped by our table — whether you came for the refreshments or stayed for the guessing game, we loved chatting with you!
Until next time… we’ll be practicing our tee-counting skills. 😉
Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. hosted a wine tasting at the office — but with a twist. Our resident geologist and amateur wine connoisseur, Andrew Williams, GIT, educated us on Terroir (aka how soil, climate, and topography shape the taste of wine).
Turns out, geology isn’t just for fieldwork — it’s for flavor. From limestone to lava flows, Andrew showed how the ground beneath the grapes makes all the difference.
Great wine, great company, and a little science to swirl around. Cheers! 🥂
The City of Foley and Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. hosted a public meeting to support the development of a Stormwater Management Plan for the Bon Secour Watershed. Led by Jay C.
