STARKVILLE, Miss.—Two shows at the Riley Center for Education and Performing Arts at Mississippi State University-Meridian are being rescheduled under recommended guidelines of the Mississippi Department of Health and the university.

Tickets for the original events will be honored. New show dates will be posted at msurileycenter.com when announced. For more information, call 601-696-2200 or email info@msurileycenter.com.

MSU is suspending all university-sponsored events and gatherings, including events sponsored by any registered student organization, through March 23. This decision is based on current best practices regarding social distancing as a prevention strategy for disease transmission.

MSU will continue to monitor this situation in the coming days. Students, faculty, staff and their families should monitor the msstate.edu website, MSU social media accounts and their email for updated information.
