Future leaders in higher education must have been inspired by the wisdom, the warmth and the good humor of Dr. Frances Lucas, President of Millsaps College. The event, sponsored by the Women in Higher Education Mississippi Network, attracted professional women from all over the state. This was the first time Southern Miss has served as host. The Cochran Center venue won high praise. One woman said she was going to suggest to her president that he tear down their old student center and build one like ours.
