The Mid South Delta Leaders program (MSDL ) is building a network of diverse leaders who will work across economic, social and racial divides to help create a 'culture of possibilities' in the          tri-state Delta Region in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

MSDL is funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation/Mid South Delta Initiative through a partnership between Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, serving as the lead partner; Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Arkansas; and, Grambling State University in Grambling, Louisiana.

Forty class members, 17 from Arkansas, 9 from Louisiana and 14 from Mississippi, are participating in the Class III curriculum designed to improve their leadership, management and communication skills.

MSDL enables leaders to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the Delta’s socioeconomic and cultural realities and offers techniques to bring about change in their communities. MSDL also helps participants gain a better understanding of national and global trends in terms of how these trends influence the quality of life and economic and community development in the tri-state Delta.
