The group is taking part in the trip to focus on critical aspects of the region, including history, culture, society, site visits and more.
Their stop at Delta State included a tour of the Delta Music Institute, a visit from the Fighting Okra, a luncheon with President William N. LaForge and Dr. Christy Riddle with International Student Services, and a visit to GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi.
