State Senate Gallery by Senator Walter Michel. Several state legislators and state-wide elected officials addressed the group while they were at the
Capitol.

The class attended the Madison County Business League & Foundation’s annual League & legislature luncheon at the Old Capitol Inn. Governor Phil
Bryant and Speaker of the House Rep. Philip Gunn were the keynote speakers. After the luncheon, the class toured and enjoyed refreshments at the Governor’s
mansion as guests of First Lady Deborah Bryant. The final stop of the day was the Mississippi Supreme Court with a presentation by Supreme Court Justice
