Mississippi State's Riley Center for Education and Performing Arts was recently honored as a recipient of the 2015 Governor's Awards for Excellence in the Arts, given annually by the Mississippi Arts Commission. Winning in the "Arts in Community" category at MAC's 27th annual awards ceremony, the center is part of the MSU-Meridian Riley Campus, which continues to grow thanks to a partnership with the Meridian-based Riley Foundation. On hand for the ceremony were, from left, Tommy Dulaney, Marty Davidson, Christine Riley, Robert Deen and Becky Farley, all of the Riley Foundation; MSU President Mark E. Keenum, and Riley Center Executive Director Dennis Sankovich.
