Supporters gathered inside the Jackson State University Downtown Campus recently to showcase excellence inside the 11,340 square-foot building that is home to departments and programs and serves as a training ground for government agency employees in specific subject areas.
The facility also helps governmental agencies assess data on issues pertaining to infrastructure, education, housing and employment through Census
training, polling and other research. The event was a collaborative effort between the College of Public Service, the Institute of Government, and others.
Dr. Sam Mozee, associate director of the Mississippi Urban Research Center in the College of Public Service, said it’s important to showcase the people, programs, partnerships and projects inside the building. He said the ultimate goal of its cutting-edge research is to help organizations in their daily work.
