50/50 Bear Bucks Raffle
2014-01-15 09:30 - 12:00 | H.L. Nowell Student Union, 1st Floor Lobby
Delta State University’s School-based Asthma Management (S.A.M.) is sponsoring a 50/50 Bear Bucks Raffle to fill someone’s bare pocket’s” the winner gets 50% of the sales of the raffle tickets! The remaining 50% of the money will go toward support of S.A.M. projects for children that have asthma. Projects such as Wheezy Bear Asthma Education Appearances in the schools, Wheezy Bear Asthma Camp – a 5 day summer day-camp, Asthma Academy, held at the United Family Life Center in partnership with Cleveland Park Commission Summer Program and Rescue Me Boot Camps for parents are interactive and fun. All projects are designed to provide information and knowledge to help children manage their asthma at home and at school. This year, the Annual 50/50 Bear Bucks Raffle is in honor of Mrs. Judith N. Winford (Judy). Mrs. Judy was the Asthma Resource Nurse for the S.A.M. Program until her death on December 22, 2013. Mrs. Judy also suffered from asthma which fashioned an even greater passion and desire to help others (especially children) manage and control asthma. The SAM team members wish to thank all that are so generous in helping to raise community awareness of the severity of asthma. Asthma can’t be cured but it can be controlled [more quickly and for longer periods] when children and their families have the necessary information to prevent an episode, “Together, we can keep our children healthy and in school” states Mrs. Winford. Raffle tickets can be bought at the DSU Center for Community and Economic Development, 1417 College St., just ask for S.A.M. You may call (662)-846-4784 or (662)-846-4807 and we’ll deliver the tickets to you (Cleveland, MS Area Only).

Rescheduled - Lady Statesmen Basketball vs. Univeristy of West Alabama
2014-01-30 17:30 - 19:30 | Walter Sillers Coliseum
CLEVELAND, Miss. – Winter Storm Leon reared its ugly head this week depositing freezing rain and snow across much of the deep south. With snow and ice accumulations hampering travel in and out of parts of Alabama and Mississippi, Delta State University director of athletics Ronnie Mayers announced that Thurday’s men’s and women’s basketball games have been moved to Monday, Feb. 3 with tipoff times set for 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
“After consulting with the administration at the University of West Alabama, we knew that they would have a hard time getting out of Livingston today,” Mayers said. “We always want to err on the side of caution when we are talking about student-athlete safety. We hope everyone will be able to adjust their schedules and come support the Statesmen and Lady Statesmen on Monday night.”
Saturday’s schedule versus the University of Alabama in Huntsville has not been affected. The No. 11 ranked Lady Statesmen (14-2, 9-1 GSC) tipoff versus the Lady Chargers at 2 p.m. followed by the No. 15 ranked Statesmen (16-2, 9-1 GSC) versus the Chargers at 4 p.m. inside Walter Sillers Coliseum.

American Spiritual Ensemble
2014-02-06 19:30 | BPAC, D & PL Main Theater
An exciting performance to begin the BPAC Spring Season

Commemorate Black History Month! Comprised of some of the finest classically trained singers in the United States, the mission of the American Spiritual Ensemble is to keep the American Negro spiritual alive. The American Spiritual Ensemble is unique in that over 90% of the members are accomplished soloists who have sung in theaters and opera houses worldwide. The resulting sound of this group is something that choral groups with two or three featured soloists cannot duplicate. The vocalists have thrilled audiences around the world with their dynamic repertoire ranging from spirituals to classical to jazz and Broadway numbers highlighting the Black experience.

The American Spiritual Ensemble performed in Ireland last week, is in France this week, and comes to the Bologna Performing Arts Center on Thursday, February 6 at 7:30pm. Special discounts are available for groups, and as always, for DSU faculty, staff, and students with their Okra ID card. Stop by the Bologna Center ticket office or call (662) 846-4626 for more information.

Documentary Film “Standing On My Sisters’ Shoulders”
2014-02-26 18:30 - 20:00 | BPAC, Recital Hall
The award-winning documentary “Standing On My Sisters’ Shoulders” takes on the Civil Rights movement in Mississippi in the 1950’s and 60’s from the point of view of the courageous women who lived it – and emerged as its grassroots leaders. These women stood up and fought for the right to vote and the right to an equal education. They not only brought about change in Mississippi, but they altered the course of American history.
This documentary presents original interviews with many of the Civil Rights movement’s most remarkable women: Unita Blackwell, a sharecropper turned activist, who became Mississippi’s first female black mayor; Mae Bertha Carter, a mother of 13, whose children became the first to integrate the Drew County schools against dangerous opposition; white student activist Joan Trumpauer Mulholland who not only participated in sit-ins but took a stand on integration by attending an all black university; Annie Devine and Victoria Gray Adams, who, along with Fannie Lou Hamer, stepped up and challenged the Democratic Party and President Johnson at the 1964 Convention.
In the name of freedom and equal rights, these women bravely faced great adversity and risked their physical safety, their jobs, and even their lives. When asked how they did it, one activist said, “I was standing on my sisters’ shoulders.”

Mississippi Writers
2014-02-28 | Jobe Hall, Auditorium
Mississippi Writers’ Panel: Authors Charlaine Harris, Carolyn Haynes, and Dean James
This event is sponsored by Graduate and Continuing Studies.
For additional information regarding this event, contact Beverly Moon at (662) 846-4700.

The Delta State University Graduate and Continuing Studies Department is hosting a lecture series with three Mississippi authors who highlight the South and Mississippi Delta in their writing. Dean James, Charlaine Harris and Carolyn Haines have all found literary success with their mystery and horror tales.
The trio will be on campus Feb. 28 and provide lectures to students at 9 and 10 a.m. in Jobe Hall. From 1-2:30 p.m., they will participate in a panel discussion with three local scholars — Dorothy Shawhan, Susan Allen Ford and Karen Bell.
Later that afternoon, a book signing and reception will be held at the Delta Arts Alliance in downtown Cleveland from 3-5 p.m. In addition, students, faculty and staff will be able to donate blood at the “True Blood” Drive at the H.L. Nowell Union from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
The following day, March 1, Harris will be the guest reader at 3 p.m. on the Thacker Mountain Radio Show at the Delta Music Institute.
The lecture and panel discussion will focus on the use of place in the writers’ fiction, the importance of contemporary fiction as a literary genre, and the joys and challenges of creative writing. These events will explore genre fiction such as mystery, supernatural and horror as intellectual inquiry and as an increasingly valued form of the literary humanities.
Beverly Moon, Delta State University Dean of Graduate and Continuing Studies, said she is thrilled to host these established authors.
“We will have lots of fun with the various events — the student sessions, panel discussions, the readings, reception, book signing, and of course, the “True Blood” Drive,” said Moon.
Harris, a New York Times bestselling author who has been writing for 30 years, was born and raised in the Mississippi River Delta area. She is known for writing mystery and fantasy novels, with her most popular series being “The Sookie Stackhouse Series.” The urban fantasy series is about a telepathic waitress named Sookie who works in a bar in the fictional northern Louisiana town of Bon Temps.
The first book in the series, “Dead Until Dark,” won the Anthony Award for Best Paperback Mystery in 2001. Each book follows Sookie through her adventures involving vampires, werewolves and other supernatural creatures. The series, which now numbers 11 titles, has been released worldwide.
Sookie Stackhouse has proven to be so popular that Alan Ball, creator of the HBO television series “Six Feet Under,” produced the HBO series based on the books. He wrote and directed the pilot episode for the series “True Blood,” which premiered in September of 2008 and successfully continues in its seventh season.
Professionally, Harris is a member of the Mystery Writers of America, the American Crime Writers League, Sisters in Crime and the International Crime Writers Association. She is a past member of the boards of Sisters in Crime and MWA. She is also a member of Science Fiction Writers of America, Horror Writers Association and Romance Writers of America.
Haines, born in Lucedale, Miss., is a prolific mystery author and former journalist specializing in mysteries set in the Mississippi Delta. Her current mysteries, the “Sarah Booth Delaney Mississippi Delta Series,” is set in the fictional town of Zinnia. The series has won numerous awards, including Best Amateur Sleuth. Her work, “Hallowed Bones,” the fifth in the series, was named in the top five mysteries of 2004 by Library Journal.
Haines teaches graduate and undergraduate fiction writing classes at the University of South Alabama, where she is an assistant professor and fiction coordinator. She was the recipient of the 2010 Harper Lee Award for Alabama’s Distinguished Writer of the Year, and in 2009 she received the Richard Wright Award for Literary Excellence.
James is the author of over 20 books, both mystery fiction and non-fiction. He is a seventh generation Mississippian having grown up in Grenada County. He is a proud double alumnus of Delta State ’80 and ’81. He also holds a Ph.D. in history from Rice University.
James has published articles on library science, the history of science and medicine and mystery fiction. His first book, which he co-wrote with fellow librarian Jean Swanson, was “By a Woman’s Hand.” In all, he has co-authored or co-edited six works of mystery reference and one short story anthology.
He has won the Agatha and Macavity Awards for his non-fiction and has twice been nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Critical/Biographical work. Formerly the general manager of Murder by the Book in Houston, he is currently a librarian in the Texas Medical Center. Writing as Miranda James, he is the New York Times bestselling author of the “Cat in the Stacks” mysteries, as well as mysteries under his own name and the pseudonyms Jimmie Ruth Evans and Honor Hartman.
In James’s series “The Cat in The Stacks,” the main character is a southern gentleman by the name of Charlie Harris. Charlie is a librarian in the town of Athena, based loosely on Oxford, Miss. In an interview with Deborah Crombie, he said of the fictional town of Athena, “I’ve tried to imbue it with the kind of feeling that I remember from my youth in Mississippi, a small — but not too small — town where longtime residents know one another, where there’s a strong sense of community and a sense of history.”
The upcoming author events in Cleveland are free and open to the public and are supported in part by a grant from the Mississippi Humanities Council. For more information, contact the Department of Continuing Education at 662-846-4833.

Ashes to Go
2014-03-05 09:45 - 11:15 | H.L. Nowell Student Union, 1st Floor Lobby
Ashes are an ancient sign of penitence. From the Middle Ages it became the custom to begin Lent by being marked in ash with the sign of the cross. The reminder that we are dust turns our attention to the creative power of God, and God’s ability to heal the brokeness in our lives when we offer that brokeness to God. That turning to God is the work of Lent, preparation for the celebration of Easter.
We’re offering ashes in the Union today, because the reminder of need, humility, and healing shouldn’t be confined to a church building. The ashes we receive are to remind us throughout the day of our need for God and of God’s call to us.

Walks for Wishes Campaign
2014-03-08 | Ferris Field & University Field
Delta State Athletics will host the 1st Annual Walks for Wishes Weekend at our home Baseball and Softball games the weekend of March 8-9. This will allow us to collect pledges and/or donations to give even more to Make-A-Wish and hopefully to reach our goal of $5,000 contributed! The minimum amount that can be pledged is $0.25 per walk. From there, the amount donated will depend upon how many total “walks” the Statesman Baseball and Lady Statesman Softball teams draw in all six games. At the conclusion of the series, pledge payments will be calculated and collected. The opponent for the weekend will be Christian Brothers University. For a general idea on walks earned in a weekend series, Baseball and Softball combined for 29 walks in last year’s series vs. Christian Brothers. 29 walks X’s a minimum of $0.25 per walk equals a $7.25 donation to Make-A-Wish. ALL FUNDS RAISED WILL BENEFIT THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION. Please stop by the Compliance office in Chadwick-Dickson to collect your pledge forms ASAP! Or print and return the attached form to the Athletics Office no later than Friday March 7th. MAKE ALL CHECKS PAYABLE TO MAKE-A-WISH!

DMI All Access with Cody Dickinson
2014-03-24 18:00 - 19:00 | DMI Studio A
GRAMMY NOMINEE CODY DICKINSON TO SPEAK AT DMI ALL ACCESS
CLEVELAND – Cody Dickinson, member of the GRAMMY nominated North Mississippi All Stars, will be a guest on Monday, March 24 in Studio A for DMI All Access, a series of informal Q&A sessions featuring music and entertainment industry professionals. The program begins at 6:00 pm and is free and open to the public.
Brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson soaked up the music of their father, Memphis legend Jim Dickinson, and absorbed the legacy of blues ancestors R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and Otha Turner before forming the North Mississippi All Stars in 1996.
The band’s debut album, Shake Hands With Shorty (2000), earned them a GRAMMY nomination for ‘Best Contemporary Blues Album’. After earning 2 more GRAMMY nominations in the same category for 51 Phantom (2001) and Electric Blue Watermelon (2005), the North Mississippi Allstars earned the reputation as one of the most intriguing acts to emerge from the loam of Southern blues and roots rock.
Meanwhile, Cody broadened the scope of his musical career and became an artistic entrepreneur in the fields of music, film and TV. Cody has contributed to several major motion picture soundtracks, including Barnyard, Snoop’s Hood of Horror and Black Snake Moan. As a producer Cody has worked with a wide range of musicians including Lucero, Cisco Adler, and Les Claypool. He also produced British blues guitarist Ian Siegal’s last 2 albums, The Skinny (2011) and Candystore Kid (2012), both of which were nominated for ‘Best Contemporary Blues Album’ at the annual Blues Music Awards. Despite all his work as a producer, Cody continues to be one of the industry’s premier drummers, demonstrated by his 2013 Blues Music Awards nomination in the ‘Best Instrumentalist/Drums’ category.
Most recently, Luther and Cody have toured extensively with Robert Plant & The Band of Joy, headlined major festivals and toured internationally as a headliner and with Ian Siegal as part of The Mississippi Mudbloods.
Luther and Cody continually expand the tradition of the Mississippi hill country blues that has inspired them from the beginning, but as Rolling Stone aptly notes, “the Allstars may be children of tradition, but they’re digging deep in undiscovered country”.
In 2013 the North Mississippi Allstars released their new career-defining record World Boogie Is Coming. The album marked a return to the band’s blues-infused rock & roll roots and pays homage to hill country legends and songwriters like R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. The project fuses all the elements that have made the Allstars special while pushing the band’s sound further into the future than ever before.
The DMI is an independent center under the College of Arts & Sciences at Delta State University. Our mission is to provide our students with a broad and thorough education in the technological, creative, and business areas of the music and entertainment industries. For more information about our program, contact the DMI office at (662) 846-4579 or visit http://dmi.deltastate.edu.
Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi All Stars will be a guest for DMI All Access on March 24 at the Delta Music Institute.

2014-04-03 19:00 - 21:00 | Jobe Auditorium
As emancipation unfolded in the wartime Union, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney’s decision in the Dred Scott case of 1857 always lurked in the background. But soon Taney himself became the issue. More than anyone else, the Chief Justice personified the Slave Power and the hold that it had once had over the national government. Taney’s death in 1864 prompted the publication of articles and pamphlets that vilified the Chief Justice, thus offering a glimpse of how northerners at the time thought about the meaning of emancipation and the Civil War.

The audience participates by helping Peter make the sound of the looms working so the Emperor will think he’s making cloth.

The Delta Innovation Foundation is hosting an event to raise funds to send students in Shelby to the Delta Music Institute’s summer camp at Delta State.”Music at the Mansion” will be May 8th from 6-9 pm at the Cutrer Mansion in Clarksdale. The Blackwater Trio will provide entertainment and refreshments and drinks will be included in the $25.00 charge. There will be a silent auction of works by local artists. The Blackwater Trio performs a unique blend of rock, folk, and bluegrass music and is one of the most sought-after musical groups to perform at special events in the area. Members of the group are Alice Hasen, violinist, and guitarists Walt Busby and Seth Stroud. The Delta Music Institute has worked with the Peer Power and S.I.C.C. (Students Involved in Community Change) in Shelby for several years. Students have created music videos and utilized the DMI mobile lab to tap into their creative abilities. The high school students released an original music video about the Affordable Care Act last fall and are working on another song. The Peer Power scholars have created a music video about the Knowledge Tree in Shelby. “Going to the music camp would allow them more opportunities to explore their musical capabilities and to interact with other young people who share similar interests” said Anne Hart Preus, Education Director for the Delta Innovation Foundation. For more information regarding the Delta Innovation Foundation’s activities or to make a donation to provide the opportunity for students to attend the music camp, visit the web site at www.makethedif.com. “It is through the encouragement and generosity of the local community supporting their young people with unique opportunities like DMI camp that can impact lives in a wonderfully creative and positive way’ said Tricia Walker, DMI Director.

Sorority Membership Recruitment Week for Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Delta, and Phi Mu is one week concentrating on potential members becoming acquainted with the sorority system. The week begins with NPC recruitment orientation on August 9, 2014 and with sororities offering bids for membership on August 13, 2014. Students participating in the week’s activities will be allowed to move into their assigned university housing the morning that recruitment activities begin, no earlier than 10:00 am. The first official Recruitment activity begins at 2:00 pm on August 9, 2014.
Each activity planned helps potential members and sorority members acquaint themselves with one another. During recruitment functions, potential members will visit with sorority members. Presentations also provide information about each sorority’s activities and expectations. As the week progresses, the parties become more serious. The skits and laughter fade into ceremonies and quiet songs. Here the potential member gets a glimpse of the true importance of sorority life.
Any regularly enrolled woman at Delta State University who is neither on social nor scholastic probation and is properly registered for membership recruitment is eligible for participation. Each individual sorority has its own minimum scholastic requirements to consider in the selection process. These are not publicized.
Women interested in NPC Membership Recruitment week must register online. The online registration form will be available on the DSU Website under “Student Life”, then “Greek Organizations”, and finally under “Recruitment”. If you should have any problems with registration, please call the Panhellenic Advisor at 662-846-4666. The registration fee will be available on the online form and will need to be mailed to the “Panhellenic Advisor, DSU Box 3202, Cleveland, MS 38733, or must be presented upon check in for Recruitment on August 9, 2014. (If postmarked or paid after July 31st, the fee does increase). The fee includes a pizza party, a t-shirt, and printing and processing costs. A question and answer session will be conducted by sorority members during the summer orientation sessions attended by new students.

Exhibition: Lurlynn Franklin: Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness
2014-08-21 08:00 - 16:30 | Wright Art Gallery
The Wright Art Center Gallery at Delta State University opens its new season with an exhibition of Lurlynn Franklin’s work entitled Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness. The exhibition opens on Thursday, August 21 with a public reception from 5:00 to 7:00 pm and a reading of the artist’s poetry at 6:00 pm. Lurlynn Franklin is a Memphis artist, poet, playwright and educator whose work combines visual images, poetry and performance to address current issues. As the artist states: “Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness is a collection of story quilts and poetry which are distinctly African-American in content, addressing the thin line drawn between stereotypes and truths. Both the writings and the visuals lend themselves towards social commentary, deliberately falling short in being hardcore political, the work lightly and deceptively skims the surface of personal politics, focusing on the mainstreams of modern “colored” life with humor and sarcasm.” Franklin’s colorful paintings draw on the tradition of African-American story quilts and the collages of noted African-American artists such as Romare Bearden – Franklin in fact refers to her paintings as quilts. In keeping with her inspiration, she incorporates non-traditional materials such as fabric, wall paper and clothing into her paintings. At the same time, her collage technique underlines the message of the images, as Franklin put it: “The quilts, like any funny story told in retrospect at a black family reunion, are exaggerations, coloring life brightly with candy hues, juxtaposed and warmed with sepias and browns, the eclectic materials and pieces of the tale, pulled together in the end, framing the whole of the story.” Like the stories told at family reunions, Franklin considers her work open to reinterpretation and thinks of it as “a work in progress” Like Franklin’s book Fabled Truths, published by Xlibris in late 2013, which combines a series of critical self-portraits with poetic essays, Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness will present her poetry alongside her paintings. For Franklin writing and painting are inextricably linked. She begins each painting by choosing a title and the work evolves from there. As the artist explains, “The creative writings are not narratives of the quilts, but are more like side glances at the colored cartoons they portray, sharpened and lyrical in their language” Franklin holds a MA in art education and a MFA in painting from Memphis College of Art. Her work has been shown nationally, most recently at the Caritas Village Community Collective and Dixon Gallery and Gardens, both in Memphis, TN. She has received numerous awards and recently was recognized by the Tennessee Arts Commission for her work. Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness is on view until September 26. The gallery is open Monday-Thursday from 8 a.m.-8:30 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m -4:30 p.m. For more information, please contact the Art Department at 662-846-4720.

This Delta: Photographs by Debra L. Ferguson
2014-08-24 08:00 - 17:00 | Capps Archives & Museum
Photographer Debra L. Ferguson has teamed up with Delta State University Archivist Emily Jones to create “This Delta,” a traveling exhibit of Ferguson’s images of the Mississippi Delta taken over the last 30 years.
The exhibit launches with a special Sunday opening on August 24 at 2 p.m. at the Capps Archives & Museum on Delta State’s campus.
The public is invited to the free event, and Ferguson will be in attendance. “This Delta” features Ferguson’s images with a mixture of words from some of the most notorious and noteworthy writers from the Delta and Mississippi. The exhibit will remain on site for two weeks and is free and open to the public. The Archives & Museum is open Monday – Friday, 8am – 5pm.
A 1974 graduate of Delta State University, Ferguson works as a magazine and advertising photographer, specializing in agricultural and rural lifestyle subjects. She is also a partner with her husband, Owen Taylor, in AgFax Media, an online agricultural news organization. Her photography has appeared in Farm Journal, Progressive Farmer, Southern Living Travel and other publications and advertising campaigns. A prolific stock photographer, her images are represented by agencies in the U.S., Europe and Asia. “
“Emily and I had a lot of fun creating this exhibit from my images,” said Ferguson. “I left the Delta in the early 1970s, but it was always home. Luckily for me, my family and work assignments kept bringing me back often enough to create a body of work. I’m honored and very excited to share these images, many of which have never been seen.”
Jones, who has collaborated with Ferguson on previous work, is honored to see the kickoff take place at Delta State. “This has been a labor of love for the both of us,” said Jones. “We first talked about traveling exhibits when we worked together on another exhibit, “Vanishing Delta.” Ferguson won the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters photography award for “Vanishing Delta” in 2007.
“Ever since then, we have hoped and thought about what an exhibit of her work might look like in a traveling format. Finally, we did it,” added Jones. “This Delta” is a collection of seven panels with individual titles:
Delta Folks, Delta Relics, Going to Town, Nature’s Rhythm,
Passing Through, Sacred Spaces and Taming the Land, plus the exhibit’s opening panel.
Laura Walker, Delta State University graphic designer and brand manager, designed the traveling exhibit around Ferguson’s photography. In addition, Mothlite Media, a design agency owned by Laura and Josh Walker, created a website that will be the Delta State Archives’ first online companion to a traveling exhibit. The web aspect of the exhibit will also be launched and shared with the public at the opening reception. The exhibit will tour Mississippi sites for the first year, from September 2014 through September 2015.
After the first year, “This Delta” will be available to tour outside of Mississippi. “We are keeping the exhibit home-state-bound this first year to thank the Mississippi Humanities Council for their support of this project,” added Jones. “There is still time for future hosting sites. Contact us at the archives if you are interested in hosting the exhibit.”
For those missing the initial exhibit launch, the following Mississippi sites will also be hosting “This Delta”
September 2014 – William Alexander Percy Memorial Library, Greenville
* October/November 2014 – Tunica Museum, Tunica
* January/February 2015 – DeSoto County History Museum, Hernando

This Delta: Photographs by Debra L. Ferguson
2014-08-24 14:00 | Capps Archives & Museum
Through the lens of her camera, Ferguson has captured a sense of the Mississippi Delta with sincerity and stark reality. Where the photograph is worth 1000 words, morsels of Mississippi literature shore up the wandering thoughts of a visitor. Our goal is to show the Delta, to read the Delta and to remember the Delta while encouraging each visitor to consider their own story and piece of history connected to this place. We are excited to be able to offer another layer of experience to this exhibit! While visitors stand in front of each panel, you now have the option of following along with Debra Ferguson as she explains the panelâ?Ts concept and the images selected for each panel. By following the link noted at the base of each panel (www.thisdelta.com), you can explore more about the images, read further excerpts from the authors presented on the panels and engage with the exhibit on a deeper level.

Life After the Storm: A story of survival, compassion, and the miracle of life.
2014-09-08 11:00 - 12:30 | BPAC, D & PL Main Theater
Kevin Hines has reached millions as he travels globally teaching other’s the importance of suicide prevention and mental health awareness. He presents on numerous topics from anti-bullying, wellness in the workplace, drug and alcohol prevention and more. His compelling presentation always brings the audience to their feet. More importantly, many members make contact later to explain the event as life-changing.
Following his suicide attempt by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge as a youth, Hines has become one of the most sought after speakers of these subjects In the US. Kevin continues his fight for wellness and dedicates his life to working for mental health equality, awareness, and education.
As a member of the CHP for over twenty-three years, with the majority of those years patrolling the Golden Gate Bridge, Sgt. Briggs discovered early that his job required him to take on an unusual role for a police officer: suicide prevention counselor. As a cancer survivor and survivor of multiple heart operations, Briggs’ familiarity with personal struggle bonds him with suicidal men and women. With simple empathy, an instinct for improvisation and a refusal to walk away, Briggs has negotiated hundreds of people from suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge. Sgt. Briggs retired from the CHP in November 2013. His TED Talk in March 2014 went viral with over 1.3M views.

Mississippi Solutions: An Ideas Tour
2014-09-23 09:00 - 11:00 | Cleveland City Hall, 100 North Street, Cleveland, MS, 38732, United States
Speaker Philip Gunn to Host Third Mississippi Solutions—an Ideas Tour
Jackson, MS—For the third year in a row, Speaker of the House Philip Gunn will host a series of non-partisan town hall meetings around Mississippi for his MS Solutions—an Ideas Tour. Speaker Gunn will make various stops around the state during the week of September 22, 2014.
The purpose of the meetings is to provide a local forum for citizens to share ideas they may have for improving Mississippi. While Speaker Gunn encourages Mississippians to share any suggestions they may have, he also encourages them to provide possible solutions for their concerns.
“Through the years, people have shared their concerns and opinions regarding issues we all care about: jobs, healthcare, education,” said Speaker Gunn. “This year, I anticipate people again echoing those sentiments, but I do hope they will also present ideas as to how your elected officials should work toward solving those issues that matter the most to you.
“Mississippians have responded enthusiastically the last two years that we have held MS Solutions—An Ideas Tour,” said Speaker Gunn. “The meetings provide an outlet for us to hear from Mississippians all over the State. Not everyone has the opportunity to come to Jackson and meet with elected officials. So, we essentially bring the Legislature to the people.”
Each meeting lasts one hour and is open to the public and media.

SEASON SEVEN, PREMIERING THIS OCTOBER ON PBS
ART21 Access ’14 is an international free screening initiative created to increase knowledge of contemporary art, spark dialogue, and inspire creative thinking through hundreds of public screenings and events. Season 7 premieres on PBS October 24th at 10 pm EST. Season 7 profiles twelve artists who reveal how art can inspire and transform lives and communities.
Screening events are hosted by museums, schools, libraries, art spaces, community centers, and universities worldwide. Each event features an exclusive advance screening of one to four episodes from Season 7.

Featured artists include Thomas Hirschhorn, Graciela Iturbide, and Leonardo Drew.
ART21 Access ’14 events are presented in partnership with Americans for the Arts, the YMCA, and the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture. An updated list of ART21 Access ’14 events and venues worldwide can be found at art21.org/access.

Jim Lucas: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi, 1964-1968
2015-02-09 08:00 - 17:00 | Capps Archives & Museum Building, Main Gallery
The exhibit will run through 31 March 2015. To schedule tours of the exhibit, please contact the University Archives, 662.846.4780 or e-mail archives@deltastate.edu.
Lucas, a student during the early sixties was an outstanding photographer having progressed from carrier boy to photographer and lab man for the local newspaper. In 1959, at the age of 14, his first photo was published in the Jackson Daily News.
His craft with the camera led him to take photographs all during his years at Murrah High School and Millsaps College where with professional photojournalistic style he was as much school documentarian as he was student.
In 1964 Lucas was a student at Millsaps when the nation was focused on Mississippi and the search for Schwerner, Goodman and Chaney, civil rights workers missing in Neshoba County. During those turbulent times these events drew national press to Jackson and Lucas had the opportunity to meet and assist film cameramen from CBS news. Using his still camera he tried never to miss a visual story of his own and soon became a “stringer” for UPI and Time and Life magazines.
In 1968, Jim Lucas was drafted and spent his basic training in the Army at Fort Campbell, KY, afterward with special training in the Army Signal Corps at Fort Monmouth, NJ. During his deployment in Vietnam he shot non-combat footage for the Army gaining experience and commitment for his future career as a film cameraman. In 1969 he was distinguished by the DOD as the Military Newsfilm Motion Picture Photographer of the Year.
Upon his return to Jackson in 1973 he pursued a variety of freelance film jobs including commercial advertising, football filming, and freelance newsreel work for UPI and NBC. A highlight of his career was shooting several stories for “60 Minutes.” His first job on a feature film was Robert Altman’s “Thieves Like Us” as an electrician and his goal became to work on feature films as Director of Photography.
During the next years Jim’s career included television and feature film work, almost always outside of Mississippi, including films such as “Honeysuckle Rose,” “The Long Riders,” “Brubaker,” and “The Border.” He became known for the excellence of his technical ability and advanced to Camera Operator and Second Unit Director of Photography. While on location with the film “Barbarosa” he was in a fatal automobile accident. He died October 19, 1980.
The Lucas Collection includes an extensive number of negatives, prints, personal narratives, and a cache of memorabilia. The exhibit is a sample of images Lucas made during the civil rights movement and includes images of the search for the three missing civil rights workers, as well as other events such as the James Meredith March for Freedom in 1966, the Wharlest Jackson funeral in Natchez in 1967, and the Senate Hearings to Evaluate Poverty in Jackson in 1967 with the subsequent trip by Senator Robert Kennedy to the Mississippi Delta.
This exhibit was created and curated by Jane Hearn who was married to Lucas at the time of his death and Red Morgan, photojournalist and commercial still photographer. Their ongoing collaboration aims to archive Lucas’ extensive collection, and pay tribute to a passionate and skillful young photographer who grasped the significance of the events around him and conveyed his point of view in sensitive visual language.
The exhibit is sponsored in part by the DSU Archives & Museum, The Diversity Committee and the Mississippi Humanities Council.
