The North Mississippi Allstars and Rebirth Brass Band, along with special guest Cedric Burnside, will perform live in concert Thursday, September 30, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) at Delta State University as part of the national Shake & Holla tour. The concert is locally sponsored by the International Conference on the Blues.
Shake & Holla is a brand-new tour that showcases foot-stomping Mississippi “hill country” blues and the funky, syncopated sounds of New Orleans brass. Touring together for the first time ever, the Grammy-nominated and Blues Music Award-winning North Mississippi Allstars will be joined by the legendary Rebirth Brass Band in a musical celebration of two great southern musical traditions.
Steeped deeply in their own traditions, both artists also are part of the vanguard of blues and soul music. Appearing with them on this tour is blues guitarist, vocalist, and drummer Cedric Burnside, a Grammy- nominated artist in his own right, as well as the grandson of legendary Fat Possum recording artist RL Burnside. For one special night, these three artists will be playing their own favorite selections as well as collaborating through the show on an array of great songs, exploring the musical connection between the Mississippi Delta on Bourbon Street…right down Highway 61.
Tickets start at $25.00 and are on sale at the BPAC Ticket Office, by phone 662-846-4626 or online www.bolognapac.com.

"Voices from the Sit-In" Film Premiere
2021-10-04 18:00 - 20:00 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Voices-from-the-Sit-in_11x17

VOICES FROM THE SIT-IN is the true story of a protest, told by those who lived it. Delta State University, in Cleveland, Mississippi, was segregated from 1925 to 1965. The school enrolled its first Black students in 1966. These first students struggled for recognition, for inclusion, and for fair treatment. By the Spring of 1969, as tensions rose, Delta State’s Black students organized a series of actions and protests. These actions culminated in the quickly-escalating events of Monday, March 10, 1969. In VOICES FROM THE SIT-IN, the forgotten history of this moment is revealed. We meet some of the original students involved and relive the tense experience of a significant moment in the Civil Rights movement, exploring history almost unknown to students today. VOICES FROM THE SIT-IN features protesters Maggie Daily Crawford, Mary Carter, Talmadge Davis Jr., and Muriel McCraney Lucas; 1969 student government association president James W. Powers; Delta State professors Georgene Clark and Dr. Charles Westmoreland; and current student Sykina Butts, who has been recording an oral history of the participants’ stories.
Filmed by current Delta State students, this 27-minute documentary brings to life an important story through lived experiences recalled across five decades.
Featuring protesters Maggie Daily Crawford, Mary Carter, Talmadge Davis, & Muriel McCraney Lucas; 1968-1969 Student Government Association President James W. Powers; Delta State professors Georgene Clark & Dr. Charles Westmoreland; & current student Sykina Butts.
FREE and open to the public. Contact Michelle Johansen at mjohansen@deltastate.edu for more information.

Gay Faulkner Lecture and Book Signing
2021-10-05 18:00 - 19:30 | Jobe Hall, Auditorium
Phillip Gordon will be on campus to discuss his most recent book from the University Press of Mississippi Gay Faulkner: Uncovering a Homosexual Presence in Yoknapatawpha and Beyond (UMP 2021). The event is part of the Division of Languages and Literature Annual Lecture Series and coincides with DSU’s annual LGBTQIA+ pride celebration—Okra Out Front.
The life and works of William Faulkner have generated numerous biographical studies exploring how Faulkner understood southern history, race, his relationship to art, and his place in the canons of American and world literature. However, some details on Faulkner’s life collected by his early biographers never made it into published form or, when they did, appeared in marginalized stories and cryptic references. The biographical record of William Faulkner’s life has yet to come to terms with the life-long friendships he maintained with gay men, the extent to which he immersed himself into gay communities in Greenwich Village and New Orleans, and how profoundly this part of his life influenced his “apocryphal” creation of Yoknapatawpha County.
Gay Faulkner: Uncovering a Homosexual Presence in Yoknapatawpha and Beyond explores the intimate friendships Faulkner maintained with gay men, among them Ben Wasson, William Spratling, and Hubert Creekmore, and places his fiction into established canons of LGBTQ literature, including World War I literature and representations of homosexuality from the Cold War. The book offers a full consideration of his relationship to gay history and identity in the twentieth century, giving rise to a new understanding of this most important of American authors.
Phillip Gordon is assistant professor of English and gay studies coordinator at University of Wisconsin-Platteville. He was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and grew up just north of Faulkner’s fictional Yoknapatawpha County.

Not Going Quietly
2021-10-09 00:00 - 23:59 | BPAC
After a video of a confrontation with a U.S. senator went viral, Ady Barkan was more determined than ever to advocate for healthcare justice—even if it’s the last thing he does. On October 10-13, Bologna Performing Arts Center will host an exclusive online screening of the film Not Going Quietly which documents Barkan’s political activism after a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The film will be followed by a conversation with filmmakers Nicholas Bruckman and Amanda Roddy who will discuss their film and the filmmaking process.
A 33-year-old father battling ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Ady Barkan had a captive audience in Senator Jeff Flake on a flight to Phoenix in 2017. Concerned about the impact on healthcare of a tax bill about to go up for a vote, he asked Senator Flake, “What would you tell my son if you pass this bill and he cuts funding for disability and I can’t get a ventilator?” Barkan catapulted to national awareness after the confrontation but few know what happened following that event. Not Going Quietly earnestly documents Barkan’s tireless advocacy for healthcare reform as he comes to terms with his illness. A fascinating look into 21st Century activism, Barkin never loses his sense of purpose and continues to find a way to be effective despite his decreasing motor functions and losing the ability to speak.
Director Nicholas Bruckman previously produced the feature film Valley of Saints, which won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Independent Spirit award in 2012. Bruckman’s work has received support from foundations including the Fledgling Fund, Cinereach, NYSCA, NYFA, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. He is the founder of People’s Television, an original content company based in New York City and Washington, D.C.
Producer Amanda Roddy is an award-winning documentary filmmaker with People’s Television. She has led projects as a director, producer, and writer for clients such as the Democratic National Convention, Covergirl, Elizabeth Warren’s presidential Campaign, Equal Justice Works, The Nature Conservancy, and The Equity Fund. Her work has been supported by the International Documentary Association, Rooftop Films, Film Independent, IFP, and HBO.
Not Going Quietly will be presented online and attendees can view it on demand any time between October 10-13. Admission to the screening is FREE which includes a conversation with the filmmakers following the film. Tickets are available at www.bolognapac.com for more details and to register for free.
This event is made possible through the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers, a South Arts program. Since its inception in 1975, Southern Circuit has brought some of best independent filmmakers and their films from around the country to communities throughout the South. The program is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Don Felder, a legendary singer-songwriter, a 1998 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the Eagles, a New Your Times best-selling author and a true American rock and roll guitar hero, will perform on Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi.

His iconic double necked guitar was featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Play it Loud exhibit in May 2019 – the first major exhibition in an art museum dedicated to the iconic instruments of rock and roll – and is currently on display in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s exhibit of the same name. He was inaugurated into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville in 2016, and the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2017. His most recent solo album American Rock ‘N’ Roll (BMG) was released on April 5, 2019.

Recent Paintings by Tommy Goodman

DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S ART DEPARTMENT PRESENTS RECENT PAINTINGS BY DSU ALUMNUS TOMMY GOODMAN
Delta State University’s Art Department is proud to present an exhibition of recent paintings by an alumnus of its program, Tommy Goodman. Tommy Goodman is a painter and retired architect based in Carrollton, MS. Mr. Goodman graduated from DSU with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1968. He taught art at St. Andrews Episcopal Day School in Jackson for a few years before returning to school to pursue a degree in architecture at Auburn University, Auburn, AL. Mr. Goodman went on to build a successful career in architecture working as architect and design principle with architecture firms in Jackson, MS and Birmingham, AL. His projects earned numerous regional, national, and international awards. After retiring from his architectural practice, Mr. Goodman taught art and architecture as an adjunct professor at Mississippi State University. He still serves as consultant for historic restoration projects, but since 2009 he has dedicated himself fully to his painting practice. He recently published a book surveying his paintings titled Delta Artist Tommy Goodman: Painter/Architect.
Mr. Goodman creates abstract paintings and large-scale landscapes inspired by the Mississippi Delta. He explains that “Growing up in the Mississippi Delta, I have always been intrigued by the haunting horizontal vastness and variety in Delta panoramas, particularly the skies. As I paint from memory and past observations, the completed image is always an abstraction of the original experience.” His landscapes paintings done in acrylic on paper offer sweeping panoramic views of the Delta. The unusual format of these landscapes recalls the work of 19th-century American landscapists such as Jasper F. Cropsey and George Inness but also betray Mr. Goodman’s background as an architect.
An opening reception for Mr. Goodman’s exhibition will be held on Thursday, November 4 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. The opening reception is free and open to the public.
Recent Paintings by Tommy Goodman will be on view at DSU’s Fielding Wright Art Center from November 4th to December 2nd. The gallery is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks. Masks are required in all DSU facilities.

Country Music Band Lonestar Performs Live at the Bologna Performing Arts Center Tickets on Sale!
2021-11-04 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Country Music’s award-winning band, Lonestar will perform on Thursday, November 4, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. The concert is locally sponsored by Robinson Electric.
Not every musician has the opportunity to revisit and even potentially improve upon their biggest hits. But on the forthcoming TEN to 1 record, the award-winning band Lonestar—Dean Sams (keyboards, acoustic guitar, background vocals), Michael Britt (lead guitarist, background vocals), Keech Rainwater (drums) and Drew Womack (lead vocals, guitar)—are taking a fresh look at all 10 of their chart-topping country songs. This streak started in 1996 with the band’s second single, the rock-edged “No News,” and continued with the following year’s “Come Cryin’ to Me” and “Everything’s Changed.” The band’s quadruple-platinum 1999 album Lonely Grill spawned four No. 1 hits (including the beloved global smash “Amazed”) and established Lonestar as music’s preeminent pop-country band—a status they’d maintain through the 2000s and beyond.
With these re-recordings, the band members were mindful of striking a balance between preserving the sonic elements fans were familiar with—and not repeating them. Fittingly, TEN to 1 record reflects the ways Lonestar’s hits have evolved over the years during the band’s rousing, high-energy concerts. Such talent has contributed to the band winning many of music’s top honors, including Academy Of Country Music awards for New Vocal Group in 1996, Single and Song Of The Year in 2000, along with Humanitarian Of The Year in 2002. They also won Country Music Association’s Vocal Group of the Year and International Artist Achievement award in 2001. All told, Lonestar have sold more than 10.5 million records since their formation.
Tickets to Lonestar are on sale now and can be purchased at www.bolognapac.com or at the BPAC Ticket Office at 662.846.4626.

Duty Free (Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers)
2021-11-07 00:00 - 23:59 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
— Called “A tender love poem from son to mother” by CBS News, Duty Free examines ageism, the care crisis, and economic insecurity in America. On November 7 – 10, Bologna Performing Arts Center will host an exclusive online screening of the documentary followed by a conversation with Director Sian-Pierre Regis who will discuss the film and the filmmaking process.
Rebecca worked and sacrificed for years to give her sons every opportunity. At the age of 75, she was fired without cause from her job as a hotel housekeeper and left with no means to support herself. As she struggled to find work, her son, Sian-Pierre Regis, documented a journey that uncovered the economic insecurity shaping not only her future, but that of an entire generation. But Rebecca is no frail granny ready to give up on life. At Regis’ urging, she made a bucket list which included expected items such as travel to exotic locations as well as the unexpected like “milk a cow” and “take a hip-hop lesson.” As their resulting adventures gained attention, Rebecca shared her message with the public. “You have one chance at life,” she says, “For God’s sake, live it the way that makes you comfortable. It doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks. This is your life.”
Sian-Pierre Regis is an award-winning journalist, on-camera personality, and cultural critic with a love for both pop-culture and social responsibility. He was a Firelight Media Fellow (2018-2020) and a Film Independent Documentary Fellow (2019). Regis has been a contributor for CNN, HLN, MTV and CBS, covering stories of youth political activism and pop-culture.
Duty Free will be presented online and attendees can view it on demand any time between November 7 – 10. Admission to the screening is FREE which includes a conversation with the filmmakers following the film. Tickets are available at https://watch.eventive.org/southerncircuit/play/611c101990e753032305d5c7
This event is made possible through the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers, a South Arts program. Since its inception in 1975, Southern Circuit has brought some of best independent filmmakers and their films from around the country to communities throughout the South. The program is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Ephrat Asherie Dance
2021-11-18 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Odeon, an original dance work for six dancers and four musicians, is the second collabroation between sister and brother team Ephrat and Ehud Asherie (choreographer and musical director, respectively). Set to the music of fin-de-siecle Brizilian composer Ernesto Nazareth, known for mixing early 20th-century romantic music with samba and other popular Aro-Brazilian rhythms, this work takes a hybrid approach to movement. Odeon delves into what happens when you bring together parts of the extended family of street and club dancers – including breaking, hip-hop, house, and vouge – remix them, pick them apart and challenge them to inhabit unfamiliar spatial and choreographic contexts.
Ephrat “Bounce’ Asherie. a 2016 Bessie Award winner for Innovative Achievement in Dance, creates work for the dynamic group of multifaceted dancers in her company Ephrat Asherie Dance (EAD). Embodying many different African American and Latinx vernacular dances, including breaking, hip hop, house and vogue, EAD is dedicated to exploring the inherently complex and dynamic qualities of these forms – Asherie’s “movement phrases – compact bursts of choreography with rapid-fire changes in rhythm and gestural articulation – bubble up and dissipate, quickly paving the way for something new”(New Your Times).
This performance is funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mississippi Arts Commission.

Katrina Majkut: In Control
2022-01-18 08:00 - 17:00 | Feilding L. Wright Art Building
DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S ART DEPARTMENT PRESENTS IN CONTROL, AN EXHIBIITON OF EMBOIDERED WORK BY KATRINA MAJKUT
Katrina Majkut is an artist who investigates how social traditions impact civic rights. The ongoing series In Control which she began in 2009 consists of embroidered renditions of products related to women’s reproductive health. The work and her choice of medium are intended to raise questions about who has authority over women’s bodies and choices. According to the artist, “Historically, embroidery prepared women for marriage. Samplers represented domestic skill levels and specific cultural and religious values to potential husbands who sought a woman with the right skills to establish a household – make clothes, darn socks. Cross-stitch was used to advertise and represent womanhood, wifedom and motherhood but bodily functions, autonomy and diverse lifestyles was not part of this textile practice. The ‘domestic craft’ of In Control attempts to counter this by attempting to stitch all products related to women’s health and needs with a fully comprehensive, bipartisan, educational and medically honest approach.”
Katrina Majkut was listed as one of four international artists starting a new chapter in feminist art by Mic Media and highlighted as a must-see artist by Hyperallergic. You can view more of her artwork at katrinamajkut.format.com. Majkut organized an Instagram art takeover for Planned Parenthood, exhibited at Spring Break, A.I.R. Gallery, Victori + Mo Gallery, CUNY College of Staten Island, Babson College, the Mint Museum, and was an artist in residence at MASS MoCA. Majkut published her first non-fiction book in 2018, The Adventures and Discoveries of A Feminist Bride (Black Rose Writing), which aims to make weddings more egalitarian. Her art catalogue is in the library at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, D.C.
In Control will be on view at DSU’s Fielding Wright Art Center from January 13 to February 17. Due to the rising Covid-19 cases, we will forgo an opening reception, however, the artists will discuss their work and take questions via Zoom on Thursday, January 13 at 4:00 pm. Check the art department’s website or email mmerryday@deltastate.edu for a link. The gallery is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks. Masks are required in all DSU facilities.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day and National Day of Racial Healing Lunch
2022-01-18 12:15 - 13:30 | 2nd Floor East Lobby Student Union
DSU will commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day and participate in the National Day of Racial Healing with a special lunch for DSU students. Students are invited to attend this event and bring a friend. This event is free and open for DSU students.
The National Day of Racial Healing (NDORH) is an opportunity for people, organizations and communities across the United States to call for racial healing, bring people together in their common humanity and take collective action to create a more just and equitable world.
January 18, 2022, will be the sixth annual National Day of Racial Healing. The day was established in 2017 by more than 550 leaders from around the United States who wanted to set aside a day to take action together.
What is Racial Healing?
Racial healing is a process that restores individuals and communities to wholeness, repairs the damage caused by racism and transforms societal structures into ones that affirm the inherent value of all people. It makes it possible to acknowledge and speak the truth about past wrongs created by individual and systemic racism and to address present-day consequences for people, communities and institutions.
Racial healing can facilitate trust and build authentic relationships that bridge divides created by real and perceived differences. We believe it is essential to pursue racial healing prior to making change in a community. Because, before you can transform systems and structures, you must start with people first.
Students can sign up for the lunch here: https://forms.gle/PPfogXB7kaEtNRB18

As a stay-at-home, mother of three with a husband, people are always accusing her of spying on them because she seems to be living the same life that they do. The fact that everyone can relate to her comedy has made her a hit even among the strangest of audiences.
While performing in San Antonio she was asked to appeared in Las Vegas Comedy Festival and shortly thereafter appeared on ABC’s The View in a hilarious housewife segment. Leanne appeared as a finalist on Nick at Nite’s Funniest Mom and toured three years the Southern Fried Chicks. She has appeared in comedy clubs, performing arts centers, and theaters all over the United States. She had a contract with Warner Brothers and ABC to develop a sitcom based on her comedy and also collaborated with legendary writer/producer Matt Williams (“Roseanne,” “Home Improvement”) on a half-hour comedy project.
She counts as her celebrity fans, Dr. Phil and Paula Deen. She has appeared on both their shows. Leanne and fellow comic Reno Collier recently co-hosted Chewing the Fat, a weekly radio show on Sirius XM/Blue Collar Radio and her comedy is in rotation every day on Sirius comedy channels. She has a comedy special currently streaming on VidAngle called “So Yummy” and her videos on Dry Bar Comedy have gotten more than 50 million views and growing! She has a podcast called Sweaty and Pissed….Menopause and More.

Lily Topples the World - Southern Circuit Film
2022-04-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
LILY TOPPLES THE WORLD follows 20-year-old sensation Lily Hevesh – the world’s most acclaimed domino toppler and the only girl in her field – as she rises as an artist, role model, and young woman. Filmed for over 3 years across countless cities and featuring appearances by Jimmy Fallon, Katy Perry, Will Smith, YouTuber Casey Neistat, and a steady stream of Gen-Z creators, LILY TOPPLES THE WORLD is a coming-of-age story cloaked within a unique portrait of an artist, a story of how passion and artistry can make dreams come true, and an unlikely American tale of a quiet Chinese adoptee who transforms into a global artistic force with over 1 billion YouTube views. From director Jeremy Workman (The World Before Your Feet) and from executive producer Kelly Marie Tran (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), in her first film in a producing role.
Run time 90 minutes. FREE SCREENING! TICKETS NOT REQUIRED.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT – Sometime in 2017, I became transfixed by domino toppling videos. There seemed to be a thriving community of incredibly talented Gen-Z artists who had formed a unique community on YouTube creating mind-blowing domino toppling art. When I dug a little deeper, I began noticing that all roads seemed to lead to this one teenage girl with an oddly-named YouTube channel called “Hevesh5.” The Hevesh5 channel had the most beautiful domino art, the most impressive videos, and by far the most YouTube views. I quickly discovered that it was the channel of a young Asian-American teenager named Lily Hevesh. She had nearly 2 million subscribers, and her domino videos had been seen almost a billion times in nearly every country on the planet. It was clear that Lily was the best of the best and without peer. It also was clear that she was the only girl doing this stuff.
As I stepped further into Lily’s work, I learned new details about this unique young woman. I discovered that she had been been abandoned as a baby in China, adopted by an American family, and was the only Asian-American growing up in a small town in New Hampshire. I began to see a deeper story about a quiet girl who spoke with her art, a young woman who found confidence and self-assuredness through her craft, and an unlikely global artist who was mastering new platforms to bring her art to 21st century audiences.
I soon got to know Lily and found her incredibly inspiring. This led us to decide to take a journey together on the making of a documentary — one that would show her in a completely different light from how she appeared in her own videos. I ended up filming Lily for nearly 3 years. It would begin with Lily’s freshman year at college (and her difficult decision to drop out) and end with her having her face beaming on a toy line at WalMart. In between, I filmed Lily doing her domino art in dozens of cities and multiple countries, watching how a Gen-Z artist navigated the world of YouTube, fame, professionalism, creativity, and commerce. I got to know an incredible young woman – humble, passionate, and determined to blaze her own path. In the end, I discovered a truly inspiring and universal coming-of-age story that touched on adoption, diversity, and our need for basic human connection. It was a story that made me understand that Lily’s delicate domino artwork was something profoundly deep to her and truly a metaphor for how she lived her life.

2022-08-05 - 2022-08-13 | DSU Campus
We are only days away from Okra Orientation aka Okratation 2022 and the DSU Community is buzzing with excitement about welcoming all new students on campus. Please see the orientation link for answers to your frequently asked questions and more information about the schedule etcetera. New Students, please make sure to check your Okra Email for important information and we will see you at ICED on the Quad on August 10th at 8:00pm.

FAQs
Do I have to register? No there is no registration for Okratation and please just check your email for more information and assignment to a Group.

Is Okratation Mandatory? The first event on August 10th at 8:00pm on the Quad called ICED is listed as mandatory so that you are able to pick up your swag bag, understand the schedule better, and get a chance to meet both your Okratation Group and Delta Diplomat.

What If I can’t attend that first night? You may pick up your items in the Student Affairs Office on the third floor of the Union in 307 during regular office hours of Monday through Friday 8:00AM to 5:00PM. Then please catch up with your group and join in for the duration of Okratation!

Are there consequences if I do not attend? There are no consequences should you be unable to make it to a particular session. However, we have created Okratation in order to help you acclimate to DSU and to give you lots of information to help you be successful before classes begin.

Who is Okratation for? Okratation is for all new students including transfers and international students who are enrolled in Delta State for the first time. The online schedule clearly indicates the few events like Silent Disco where all of the DSU Community including returning students, friends, etc are welcome.

Do I need money for Okratation? Okratation fees are already included into your billing so you won’t need to bring any extra money unless you want to eat outside of the scheduled times and locations or buy any other materials in the on campus bookstore and in Cleveland.

What should I bring or wear? As you are already moving either onto campus or into the area, you should have all the items you need for Okratation. Keep in mind that it will be hot and you want to be covered and comfortable.

What if I am a non-traditional student, graduate student, or have other reasons why I cannot attend? Okratation is meant to be fun and informative as well as to help you feel comfortable and like you belong here in the Delta State Community. It is not meant to impede or be a burden, so please make sure to take care of you and attend what you need to in order to join in now so you can stand out.

What happens if I attend all the sessions? You will be very well oriented to the services, get to ask questions, win all kinds of swag, be entered to win some great giveaways at the very last event, and possibly make some friends for life!

What is a Delta Diplomat? Each Group is led by a Delta Diplomat who serves as an Orientation Guide throughout Okratation. They are there to answer questions and help guide you through the process by pointing you in the right direction.

What is my Group? New Students are divided into Groups and assigned one Delta Diplomat each and a small group of New Students. This is to help you get more one on attention and help smaller groups bond with each other easier than they would if they were in the huge group.

An Evening with Clint Black
2022-09-13 19:30 - 22:00 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Grammy-winning Country Superstar Clint Black to Perform at the Bologna Performing Arts Center
Grammy-winning Country Superstar Clint Black will perform on Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi.
It has been three decades since the release of Clint Black’s groundbreaking debut album, Killin’ Time. The genre altering record cemented the Country music icon as one of the truest traditionalists in the game and his widespread influence can still be felt in the works of artists today. Now, the seemingly unstoppable legend has recently released his incredible 23rd album, Out of Sane. The record, self-produced by Black, not only stays true to sounds that birthed Country music but also progresses the genre to today’s sensibilities.
Having earned 22 #1 career singles, nearly two dozen gold and platinum awards (U.S. and Canada), a Grammy Award, numerous CMA, ACM and American Music Awards, Clint Black has had one of the most storied careers in modern music. The Houston raised musician has certainly come a long way from the Texas nightclub circuit where he first began.
In his latest effort, Out of Sane, Black continues to hold firm in making great music that doesn’t fit a mold or conform to current popularity.
“I try to make records that don’t fit into a trend,” explains the producer/guitarist. “I never wanted to start a trend, and I’m not going to chase a trend, either. To me, a great band will always sound great, today and in ten years. If you listen to this record, it’s not about fitting into today’s country, or yesterday’s country, or tomorrow’s country, it just is.”
The Grammy-winning Country superstar, understands that people consume music in the real world; but to create something that endures, a whole lot of lab time is required. Laughing, he explains the album’s title – a lyric from the road boogie “What I Knew Then” — comes from the dual states of mind that come into play with making records.
“I have a studio on my property, so I can walk out there and never finish working because I have this passion for it. But so many hours can drive me insane: I don’t sleep, I’m exhausted and completely consumed. It’s like a radio that clicks on in my sleep, to get up and get back to work. The music comes out of the sane part of me, and the record itself the insane…”
The lead track from Out of Sane is the unadorned piano ballad “America (Still In Love With You),” which is currently available on all digital streaming platforms. It plays as an intimate song of romance, yet serves as a pledge to the fundamental truths and values of the country at a time of incredible divisiveness.
A collection of material that will certainly stand the test of time, Out of Sane, is one of the most personally gratifying albums Black has ever recorded.
“Out of Sane is made up of all original songs, except for one cover. I recorded it with a varied collection of musicians; some from my band and some with session players. I believe it’s one of my best albums ever and I think my fans will love it. They’ve been asking for new music for a while and I’m thrilled to finally be able to deliver after five years since the last studio album,” says Black.

Delta State's 97th Anniversary
2022-09-15 12:00 - 13:00 | Lena Roberts Sillers Chapel
Thursday, 15 September 2022 marks the 97th anniversary of students, faculty, staff and administrators embarking on a new journey.
97 years ago, 97 students prepared for classes. Since that time, thousands upon thousands of students have discovered their life journeys under the guidance and instruction of dedicated faculty and staff. With each year that moves us closer to our centennial years, we recognize the gift those first students, faculty, staff and the townspeople of Cleveland have passed on to us. Almost ten decades of learning, educating, decision making, trusting and enduring bring us all together to the threshold of centennial status.
100 years ago this September, a group of invested citizens, lead by Judge Audley W. Shands, recognized the valuable resource of three abandoned buildings at the end of Court Street and “spoke of the cultural value” a state-supported college would bring to the Delta community. According to records, this was the first public mention of locating a college in Cleveland. Within three years of bringing this idea to the table, Delta State Teachers College would begin the journey that we today claim a part of.
This year, the program will be held in the Lena Roberts Sillers Chapel, a historical property on Delta State’s campus which has benefited from the Dedicated Statesmen Association’s care and attention over the past several years. Special guests will share memories and observations of their time at Delta State. Please join members of the Dedicated Statesmen, current faculty, staff, administration and students inside the chapel for this noon program. This event is free and open to the public.

Legally Blonde – The Musical warms the heart by proving that self-discovery can be way too much fun and hilarious to boot.
Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting more serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her ingenuity and charm to get into Harvard too. School begins with endless struggles, but with the help of her new friends, Elle quickly realizes her potential, and her true assets, as she sets out to prove herself to the world and make everyone a believer.
Based on the beloved movie, Legally Blonde – The Musical will take you from the sorority house to the halls of justice with Broadway’s brightest new heroine and, of course, her Chihuahua, Bruiser.

On their journey, the cousins manage to avoid the dangerous fox, Mr. Tod, and they recruit Squirrel Nutkin, a cheeky squirrel who’s lost his tail, and Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, the kindly hedgehog, to help them find the bunnies.

2023-02-09 13:30 - 15:00 | Jobe Auditorium
This event is free and open to the DSU campus and general public.
From the New York Times bestselling author Andrew Maraniss comes the inspirational true story of the birth of women’s Olympic basketball at the 1976 Summer Games and the ragtag team that put US women’s basketball on the map.
“A League of Their Own” meets “Miracle” in the inspirational true story of the first US Women’s Olympic Basketball team and their unlikely rise to the top.
Twenty years before women’s soccer became an Olympic sport and two decades before the formation of the WNBA, the ’76 US women’s basketball team laid the foundation for the incredible rise of women’s sports in America at the youth, collegiate, Olympic, and professional levels.
Though they were unknowns from small schools such as Delta State, the University of Tennessee at Martin and John F. Kennedy College of Wahoo, Nebraska, at the time of the ’76 Olympics, the American team included a roster of players who would go on to become some of the most legendary figures in the history of basketball. From Pat Head, Nancy Lieberman, Ann Meyers, Lusia “Lucy” Harris, coach Billie Moore, and beyond—these women took on the world and proved everyone wrong.
Packed with black-and-white photos and thoroughly researched details about the beginnings of US women’s basketball, “Inaugural Ballers” is the fascinating story of the women who paved the way for girls everywhere.

Public Display of and Presentation on Picasso's Guernica
2023-03-03 10:00 - 11:00 | Kethley 231
In recognition of the Spanish Embassy’s year-long celebration of Pablo Picasso, Prof. Slyma Samuel Ferreira and students in her English as a Second Language and Advanced Spanish Conversation classes will display and present a replica of Picasso’s painting Guernica.
In January 1937 the Spanish Republican government commissioned Pablo Picasso to create a mural on the theme of “technology” for the Spanish Pavilion at the 1937 World’s Fair in Paris. Picasso was living in Paris at the time and hadn’t been to Spain for three years. He worked on the mural for several months, although uninspired. On the first of May Picasso read George Steer’s moving eyewitness account of the bombing of Guernica on April 26 by German bombers and immediately changed course and started sketches for what would become the world-famous painting – and probably Picasso’s most famous work – known as Guernica. Upon completion, Guernica was displayed at the World’s Fair in Paris, where it was initially negatively received. After the World’s Fair, Guernica was displayed on a tour that lasted 19 years throughout Europe and North America in order to raise consciousness about the threat of fascism and raise funds for Spanish refugees. The tour helped bring the Spanish Civil War to the world’s attention and made Guernica the world’s most famous anti-war painting.

Film Screening of "Mama Bears"
2023-03-07 18:00 - 21:00 | Jobe Auditorium
DSU Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion proudly presents this screening of MAMA BEARS. This event is free and open to the DSU campus and general public. For more information, please contact Michelle Johansen at mjohansen@deltastate.edu.
Synopsis: Spread across the country but connected through private Facebook groups, they call themselves “mama bears” because while their love is warm and fuzzy, they fight ferociously to make the world kinder and safer for all LGBTQ+ people. Although some may have grown up as fundamentalist, evangelical Christians, mama bears are willing to risk losing friends, family, and faith communities to keep their offspring safe—even if it challenges their belief systems and rips their worlds apart.
MAMA BEARS is an intimate, thought-provoking exploration of the journeys taken by Sara Cunningham and Kimberly Shappley, two “mama bears” —whose profound love for their LGBTQ children has turned them into fierce advocates for the entire queer community — and Tammi Terrell Morris, a young African American lesbian whose struggle for self-acceptance perfectly exemplifies why the mama bears are so vitally important.

SCHOOL-TIME MATINEE - Llama Llama Red Pajama Live!
2023-03-09 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Families can join in the fun when Llama bursts into his bedroom looking frantically for his favorite red pajamas. Mama, hearing the commotion, comes upstairs with Llama’s pajamas in the laundry basket to ask about his day—his very first day at school—and put him to bed. But when she goes downstairs to do the million things that busy mothers have to do at the end of the day, Llama is too wiggly to fall asleep, and besides, he’s thirsty. He howls for Mama to come back up, but she doesn’t arrive. Will she ever return?
“What’s amazing about the Llama Llama books,” said Director Marty Johnson, “is that they are telling a story about a normal child who is going through scary moments about growing up and has to learn how to take care of himself in the simplest ways to feel safe, comfortable and become a little bit more independent. What we’re doing with this musical is to bring to life some of those situations, as Llama learns that, if he’s a bit anxious, he can calm down and not have a total mental breakdown at this very moment. Llama is already living in an imaginary world, but sometimes that scary shadow is just an old towel and a baseball bat left on the floor. We’re just helping him deal with the choices he has made.”
Recommended for ages 3 and up.
School-Time Matinee Series tickets will go on sale in Dec. 2022. For more information, please contact the BPAC Arts Education office at 662-846-4844 or by email.

DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY ART DEPARTMENT’S 2023 ANNUAL JURIED STUDENT EXHIBITION
The Annual Juried Student Exhibition allows the department to highlight the work our students have produced in the past year and affords students an opportunity to gain professional experience by preparing work for exhibitions and submitting it to a jury process. Students submitting work are also eligible to win monetary awards in a variety of categories. The awards are made possible through the generous support of art patrons from the Cleveland community.
This year’s juror is Greely Myatt, a professor of sculpture at the University of Memphis and a DSU alumnus. He has exhibited widely across the United States, Europe and Japan. In 1994 he was awarded the Mississippi Arts and Letters Visual Arts Award. In 2009, a twenty-year retrospective of his works was exhibited across Memphis in nine museum and gallery venues.
As every year, we will also feature Salon des Refusés in the Holcomb-Norwood Annex which will display a student-curated collection of the artwork that did not make it into the main event.
Please join us in celebrating our students’ success on Thursday, March 9, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Awards will be presented at 6:00 p.m. The Annual Juried Student Exhibition will remain on view from March 9 to April 20. The gallery is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks.

NEA Big Read Bolivar County presents "Expansion, Contraction, and Transformation: The Creation of Sacred Space through Music for Communal Healing and Social Justice" with Dr. Lisa "Osunleti" Beckley-Roberts
2023-03-30 12:15 - 13:30 | Baioni Conference Center
As part of the 2022-2023 NEA Big Read: Bolivar County project, Dr. Lisa “Osunleti” Beckley-Roberts, Chair and Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology at Jackson State University, will present her new research. Through the study and exploration of African and diasporic music and movement practices, Dr. Beckley-Roberts shares experiences with facilitating communal healing in the planning, preparation, and performance of a work in honor of Trayvon Martin. Her research explores the ways that the terms expansion and contraction, borrowed from Ifa cosmology of the Yoruba ethnic group, may be applied to the practice of reimagining African and African diaspora music and dance, in order to respond to and navigate the emotional turmoil of social injustice. Furthermore, additional instances of the use of music and the reimagining of musical ideas have been used to aid in communal healing.
This event is free and open to the DSU campus and general public. Refreshments will be available for attendees.
The National Endowment for the Arts Big Read, in partnership with Arts Midwest, is designed to broaden our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.

DEI Event - Disparity Trap: The Unfair Game of Life
2023-06-01 15:30 - 17:30 | H.L. Nowell Student Union, 2nd Floor West Lobby
Disparity Trap: The Socially Conscious Board Game provides an easy way to have the hard conversations around race & privilege in America and how they impact society in systemically dominant (SD) and systemically non-dominant (SND) ways. The game play is like many of its kind, where your individual goal is to accrue as much wealth as possible. But where it differs is that you can have a team goal as well where you work with your fellow players to dismantle the Disparity Traps seeking to keep everyone in poverty. Within this game you also step into someone else’s shoes; to experience the disparities within an identity different from your own. Throughout the game, the dice roll correlates your identity in the game to real life statistics.
This is a new game. DEI is looking for volunteers to play the game and give feedback.
Spaces are limited. Please reserve a spot here: https://forms.gle/NZ9Meerik9EzPqi37.

Janice Wyatt Mississippi Summer Arts Institute CORE Arts Camp
2023-06-09 07:00 - 22:00 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
CORE Arts is a 2 week-long, intensive summer arts program, where emerging artists can realize their dreams, unleash their imagination, and discover and explore their talents, while choosing to stay on DSU’s campus or attend as a day-camper. Campers range in ages from 11-18 (rising 7th graders – graduating high school seniors).
Each day, campers will receive wide-ranging and intensive instruction from experienced teaching artists in a variety of art forms including dance, literary arts, music, theatre, and visual arts. Campers customize their schedule by choosing their own course of study in a five-period-per-day format. Courses offer a tremendous opportunity for individual instruction, with a teacher-student ratio of approximately 1:12. Core Arts exists to promote the creative abilities of young artists, teach valuable and marketable skills to a future workforce and introduce Delta State facilities to middle and high school students.
Campers fill out surveys so that we know what types of courses to schedule for upcoming summers, but we also take into account that new and emerging artistic disciplines like comic book drawing and digital arts are especially popular with our young artists. Courses we have held in the past include dramatic improvisation, scene and character study, musical theatre, hip-hop dance, introduction to Photoshop, mixed-media portraiture, painting with found materials, web-series development, and many more! Students will also partake in evening and weekend activities, which have previously included trips to Memphis to see Broadway performances in Memphis, professional baseball games in Jackson and Memphis, guided canoe trips along the Mississippi River, artist led tours of Peters Pottery and McCarty Pottery Studios, and a private tour of the Grammy MS Museum with Karaoke.

Cost: $950, an all-inclusive fee that provides all art supplies, field trips and tickets for activities over the weekend, admission to GRAMMYMS Museum, breakfast and lunch daily, an MSAI t-shirt, water bottle and backpack.

Jennifer Seo: Paperworks Exhibition
2023-08-24 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S ART DEPARTMENT PRESENTS THE EXHIBITION JENNIFER SEO: PAPERWORKS
Delta State University’s Art Gallery opens its 2023-2024 season with an exhibition of delicate paper sculptures by Jennifer Seo. The department invites the campus and the community to an opening reception on August 24 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
Jennifer Seo painstakingly recreates everyday objects such as teacups, bowls, tables, flatware, eyeglasses, cross necklaces, and embroidered handkerchiefs she discovers in old family photographs as ghostly paper constructions. The artist says that she remakes these “objects to better understand what we find important about them and why.” According to the artist, “objects go from being simply a thing we interact with as utility to a thing that embodies a philosophy and culture.” For Seo who is of Korean descent and was born in Florida, the process of fashioning these paper sculptures is a way of connecting with her distant family and imagining their day-to-day lives. The fragile and abstract nature of these paper sculptures becomes a metaphor for her thought process, for the difference between her projections and actuality, between observation and perception.
Seo was born in Florida and grew up in Los Angeles. She received a BFA degree from Baylor University, then worked as assistant for the sculptor Karl Umlauf before earning an MFA degree from the University of Texas San Antonia. She currently is an Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. Her work has been featured in group and solo exhibitions in the United States and South Korea.
Jennifer Seo: Paperworks will be on view in the gallery from August 24 to September 21, 2023. An opening reception at which light refreshments will be served will be held on August 24 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
The gallery is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks.

The Commodores
2023-09-07 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
The Commodores aren’t just any group. They have staying power. Just like their hit song, “Brick House,” The Commodores have created a foundation that just won’t budge. After churning out hit after hit in the Motown Days, The Commodores still hadn’t achieved Grammy recognition. This wasn’t to be until 1986, without Lionel Richie, when The Commodores released “Night Shift.”
Unlike many other groups, The Commodores haven’t rested on their early hits. Quite the contrary, The Commodores have continued to put out quality work. With the creation of their new label, The Commodores released Commodores Hits Vol. I, Commodores Hits Vol. II, Commodores Christmas, and Commodores XX-No Tricks. The newest CD, “Commodores Live” was recorded during the group’s 1997 U.S. tour and released in December 1998 along with the TV special of the same name.
The successful Commodores of the present have not only produced six new albums, and embarked upon a world-wide tour, but have created their own record label, Commodores Records and Entertainment. Today The Commodores stand not only as talented and successful musicians, but as artists determined to continue their success into the future.

Air Supply
2023-09-21 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock met on May 12, 1975, the first day of rehearsals for “Jesus Christ Superstar” in Sydney, Australia; they became instant friends with their common love for The Beatles and, of course, singing.
After the shows’ performances at 10:30, they would play pizza parlors, coffee bars and night clubs with just one guitar and two voices. They quickly gained a reputation for great harmonies and for original songs that Graham was constantly writing. They made a demo on a cassette of two songs, “Love and Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” and took it to every record company in Sydney. Everyone turned it down but one–CBS Records–who admired their unique style.
They made a single in one afternoon and it shot to number one on the national charts. Air Supply was born! That same year, they opened for Rod Stewart across Australia and then throughout the U.S. and Canada playing all of the famous huge venues before Rod would take the stage. They found new fans, but did not break the U.S. market.
Seven top-five singles later, Air Supply at that time had equaled The Beatle’s run of consecutive top five singles. The albums Lost in Love, The One That You Love, Now and Forever, and The Greatest Hits sold in excess of 20 million copies. “Lost in Love” was named Song of the Year in 1980, and, with the other singles, sold more than 10 million copies.
The trademark sound of Russell Hitchcock’s soaring tenor voice and Graham Russell’s simple yet majestic songs created a unique sound that would forever be known as Air Supply.
Air Supply celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2015 and continue to delight audiences all over the world.

Solar Superstorms: A fury is building on the surface of the Sun – high-velocity jets, a fiery tsunami wave that reaches 100,000 kilometers high, rising loops of electrified gas. What’s driving these strange phenomena? How will they affect planet Earth? Find the answers as we venture into the seething interior of our star. Solar Superstorms is a major new production that takes viewers into the tangle of magnetic fields and superhot plasma that vent the Sun’s rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the solar system: Coronal Mass Ejections. The show features one of the most intensive efforts ever made to visualize the inner workings of the sun. Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch.

Together, they enjoy a journey through the Universe to discover what exoplanets are and how they can be detected. They observe rogue planets, oceanic worlds and super-Earths. Moon tells her about exoplanet hunters, who observe the sky in search of planets like Earth. Many adventures are yet to come. But first, she needs some rest.

Pablo Cruise
2023-11-02 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Grab tickets today at 662-846-4626 or by visiting https://bolognapac.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket#/events/a0S8Z00000Gui6lUAB
Amazing harmony vocals combined with consummate musicians, accompanied by fun yet elegant, infectious grooves. To hear Pablo Cruise on the record is one thing, but to experience the band live is an exhilarating event! In 1975, Pablo Cruise released its first A&M album simply entitled Pablo Cruise. The album cover was shot in the tropical gardens of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and it featured a huge gorilla standing front and center. The band, David Jenkins (guitars, vocals), Cory Lerios (keyboards, vocals), Bud Cockerel (bass, vocals) and Steve Price (drums, percussion) were nowhere in sight. At that point there was a bit of a mystique surrounding Pablo Cruise, and when asked what Pablo Cruise meant, the well-rehearsed answer went something like this: “Pablo”, represents an honest, real, down to earth individual, and “Cruise” depicts his fun loving, easy going attitude towards life: In essence that’s what Pablo Cruise music is all about.
From 1975 to 1985 the band toured the United States, Canada and Japan extensively, welcoming fans to “Climb Aboard The Good Ship Pablo Cruise.” Reaching the top 10 with mega hits like “Whatcha Gonna Do When She Says Goodbye?” and “Love Will Find A Way,” and several other top 20’s, the band went on to sell several million albums and singles collectively and established themselves as well respected writers and performers within the industry. They appeared on numerous TV shows, including Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, The Merv Griffin Show, The Dinah Shore Hour and in 1979 they broke Elvis Presley’s attendance record at the Sahara Tahoe in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, becoming the first rock band to play a casino showroom. They also became the first rock band to grace the stage at the Grand Ole Opry, but by 1985 after completing several national tours and releasing 7 studio albums in all, the band decided to take a hiatus……one that lasted nearly 20 years.
Fast forward 20 years–in 2005 a reunited Pablo Cruise picked up where they left off and today the band performs all over the U.S. and Canada and they’re enjoying it more than ever. Since getting back together, they have released two live CD’s and a DVD all through Sony Music documenting their exceptional live shows. “One of the great things about playing shows after all these years is that the core band, David, Steve and myself are still here and lovin’ it,” says Cory! “Going out and playing shows these days gives us the opportunity to not only pay tribute to our timeless repertoire, it gives us a chance to see old friends and fans from back in the day as well as gaining a whole new audience!” Today Pablo Cruise is bringing more energy and excitement to the stage than ever before and with the addition of Larry Antonino and Robbie Wyckoff, the band has never sounded better.

DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S GALLERY PRESENTS THE EXHIBITION WILLIAM RULLER: ALL THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR
2023-11-03 08:00 - 17:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S GALLERY PRESENTS THE EXHIBITION WILLIAM RULLER: ALL THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR
Delta State University’s Art Department invites the public to the opening of its new exhibition William Ruller: All That is Solid Melts into Air. Ruller who was born in Gloversville, NY explains that “the abandoned mills and tanneries of my youth and the dilapidated areas of metropolitan and rural sites, with its rust grey tones inform the visual and aesthetic language present in my work. These residual sites serve as the foundation for the work, which allows for a reinterpretation of the space into abstracted images.”
Ruller received a B.A. in painting and ceramics from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh in 2007. Following his undergraduate degree, Ruller moved to Oregon where he worked as a production potter and ceramics instructor. In 2014 he received is MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Ruller has been exhibited throughout Europe and the United States in numerous group and solo exhibitions. His paintings have been featured in Friend of the Artist, Whitewall Magazine, New American Paintings, and Studio Visit Magazine Issues. His work is in private and public collections such as Hyatt Hotel Corporation, Savannah College of Art and Design, and Museo Riso.
William Ruller: All that is Solid Melts into Air will be on view in the gallery from November 2 to December 7. A reception at which light refreshments will be served will be held on November 2 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm to mark the opening of the exhibition. A presentation by the artist via Zoom is scheduled for 4:00 pm that day. The public may join the presentation via Zoom or view it in the gallery surrounded by his work.
The gallery is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks.

To the world, Louis Armstrong is iconic — a symbol of musical genius, unparalleled success, and unassailable character. To Sharon, he was simply Dad. Armstrong’s wholesome, non-threatening image preserved his singular career as a black performer with unfettered access to a white man’s world. Yet he was more than a caricature. In private, he held tightly to the things he loved. Perhaps closest to his heart was a child whom he hid from the world: a daughter sworn to a life of secrecy until now.
Southern Circuit screenings are funded in part by a grant from South Arts, a regional arts organization, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information about Southern Circuit please visit www.southarts.org/southerncircuit. To learn more about the screening, visit bolognapac.com.

Based upon the famous classic by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol is a heartwarming story of the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge from a greedy, heartless miser to a generous, loving man. When the play opens, Scrooge is in his counting house in London. He is a “squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner!” Three ghostly visits – from the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future – leave an indelible impression on Ebenezer.
Filled with love and the true spirit of the Christmas season, he begins to change his selfish ways and open his heart to those around him. Students will delight in this classic tale of Scrooge, the ghosts, Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim. Virginia Repertory Theatre brings all the characters to life on stage in this lively and heartwarming musical performance. Watch Mr. Scrooge have a change of heart from stone to gold as he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas. All the joy, sentiment and meaning are here, without being too scary for young audiences.

Planned Giving Seminar
2023-11-30 17:30 - 20:00 | Hugh Ellis Foundation Alumni House
Delta State University Host “Planned Giving” Seminar November 30
David Gladden, Chief Financial Officer and Interim Vice President for Advancement, at Delta State University (DSU), announced the University will host a “planned giving” seminar. The seminar will explore ways to make planned gifts to the University through the Quadrangle Society. Scheduled for November 30 5:30 pm at the Hugh Ellis Walker Alumni House on the DSU campus, the seminar will provide information by community experts on developing planned charitable strategies. The seminar is free to the public.
The Quadrangle Oak Society was established to recognize alumni and friends of the University who have either funded or planned a deferred gift, such as a bequest or a life income plan. Many people believe the planned giving is only for the very rich. “It doesn’t have to be a large amount and our donations help students who might otherwise be unable to have a college education,” said Vicki Fioranelli, Quadrangle Oak Society member.” “Many of us may not be able to be large donors during our life time but why not designate a portion of our wealth after our death?”. She added, “I encourage others to join me.”
Delta State University is promoting the Quadrangle Oak Society as part of its Centennial Campaign. We are asking for those who are interested in supporting the society to become engaged by being advocates for the Quadrangle Oak Society, by providing contacts of those who can support the campaign or by contributing financially.
