Mississippi State & The MAX Form Partnership

MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) -

Mississippi State University and the Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience have teamed up, looking for ways to improve their organizations and initiatives.

Faculty members and students from MSU-Starkville and MSU-Meridian recently met with MAX representatives in a collaborative venture to help promote the facility.

The goals of the meeting were to explore opportunities the MAX offers through music, art, history, communications and public relations and to discuss possible projects.

“A place for artists to create and say maybe I could exhibit here,’ said Angie Bourgeois, Interim Dean of the Graduate School and Dean of the College of Architecture, Art and Design at the MSU Campus in Starkville. “We could meet artists and designers who are being brought to this facility. It’s something that we have not taken full advantage of, and I think that’s the goal on both sides. We need to take advantage of everything both sides in this relationship are doing.”

The newly formed partnership is something both Mississippi State and the MAX are hoping to continue for many years.
