A resolution commending Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, for 100 years of service to the State of Mississippi and the United States.

Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, first opened its doors in 1925 with just 97 students and 11 teachers. A century later, it serves roughly 2,700 students from across the U.S. and over 35 countries, offering programs in business, nursing, aviation, geospatial technology, and music. This resolution commends the school for 100 years of service, recognizing its role in everything from hosting the first public announcement of the Marshall Plan in 1947 to winning 14 national athletic championships.
