University of Southern Mississippi Foundation with the Evelyn Gandy Center for Women & Leadership
A Place Like Ms. ississippi
This project creates a living archive, amplifying stories of women leaders in diverse work environments and roles across Mississippi to inspire local and global action.
Historic and current events demonstrate the influence Mississippi has on national and global ideas, policies, and sense of humanity. While negative discourse dominates public perceptions of the state, women leaders across Mississippi are providing innovative solutions to the challenges humanity faces at the local, national, and global levels. This project will gather and share their stories, establishing Mississippi as a model of women's leadership that nourishes the national imagination and inspires global action.
