Center for Community and Economic Development

The President of Delta State University established the Center for Community and Economic Development in August of 1994 to create a proactive stance in the University to address major development issues facing the region. The Delta State University Center for Community and Economic Development pursues excellence in its programs and activities as it seeks to improve the quality of life for the citizens of the Delta. The Center encourages faculty and staff of Delta State University to develop and conduct practical research projects, to provide public service educational programs, and to provide technical assistance to public and private sector organizations. The Center emphasizes on-campus teamwork and collaboration and seeks to develop partnerships with other private and public sector organizations and agencies with vested interests in leadership development and in community and economic development in the Delta region. The Center staff believes in the importance of education and in the power of all individuals, families, groups and institutions to act collectively to meet the needs of their communities. Therefore, the mission of the Center for Community and Economic Development is "Building and Empowering Relationships that Strengthen Communities."
