Mississippi State's John C. Stennis Institute of Government and the Mississippi Municipal League joined forces to host a Mississippi Mayors Forum. Taking place at The Mill at MSU Conference Center just off campus, this week's event focused on networking and professional development. Mayor Kelvin Buck of Holly Springs, standing, and the five other Mississippi mayors in attendance each presented a case study on their respective cities for discussion. They also had the opportunity to attend panel discussions with leading experts in the fields of planning and design. Other forum sponsors included the Department of Landscape Architecture in MSU's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Carl Small Town Center in the College of Architecture, Art and Design.
