Message from Chancellor Glenn F. Boyce:
ALT Quote from Glenn Boyce “Today is a triumphant day in Mississippi as we move toward more fully embracing the rich diversity of our state. We appreciate the tremendous leadership and advocacy demonstrated across the state — including our state leaders and all the members of our legislature who supported this change — on this important and common cause to move away from a divisive flag. I look forward to the day very soon when we will unfurl a new flag that unites all Mississippians.”
