Delta State University joins many friends from around Mississippi in mourning the passing of U.S. Senator Thad Cochran, who was a true Statesman and a great supporter of this university. We offer our thoughts and prayers to his family during this difficult time. Below is a tribute to Sen. Cochran, written recently by DSU President William N. LaForge and published in the Mississippi Law Journal.
