Yesterday it was trip to the Mississippi Delta to visit Delta State University; today it was a trip back to the delta to visit with faculty and students at Mississippi Delta Community College. The trip was enjoyable, I was well received, and I had some good interaction with everyone present.
The faculty is certainly interested in what they are doing and seem to be well-respected and liked by their students. The students seemed intelligent and many were interested in engineering. I met with a student group that was a little larger than I had expected and I went prepared to talk rather than do PowerPoint. I had some good interaction with the students but they were not as engaging as I had hoped for. Perhaps it was the size of the group or perhaps I was bit tired from two trips in as many days to the Delta. Regardless, I think it was a worthwhile trip.
