To gain exposure to the world around them, Fellows participate in several educational trips. Many of these trips are culminating activities for workshops in which Fellows participate. These trips include visits to college campuses, museums and monuments, and arts events. Fellows also participate in various conferences to extend their learning.
Our goal is to expose Fellows to college campuses within and outside the state of Mississippi. We also strive to extend their learning outside the LEAD Center through visits to civil rights museums and monuments that connect with discussions in our workshops.
During Spring Break, we continue our college visits and take our students to civil rights museums and monuments.
During the summer, we travel to two different colleges to explore college life.
