Stennis: Celebrating 50 Years of Service

Mississippi State University's John C. Stennis Institute of Government and Community Development staff celebrated 50 years of service and research last Tuesday [Feb. 10]. Established Feb. 9, 1976, in honor of the long-serving senator's service to the Magnolia State and his alma mater, the institute was created to strengthen Mississippi's state and local governments, advancing the mission through applied research, training, technical assistance and civic education. The milestone celebration continues April 16 with a formal anniversary event at The Mill at MSU. PHOTO: Grace Cockrell | MSU Public Affairs
