Having partners in education helps provide a more even playing field for all families and children in Mississippi. Mississippi takes pride in its relationships with organizations that promote postsecondary credentials, including college certificates and degrees that lead to meaningful employment, such as the Mississippi Department of Education, the Mississippi Community College Board, the Mississippi Institute of Higher Learning, the Woodward Hines Education Foundation, and the Mississippi State University Research & Curriculum Unit. Each of these organizations’ primary objective is to promote successful postsecondary outcomes for more citizens in Mississippi.
