One Year Ago Today...

One year ago today, Hinds County NCS Staff, University officials, community supporters, and the local media all proudly stood on the front steps of the State Capitol to celebrate the Hinds County Study Center's "Kick Off" Rally! As we look over the past year, and reflect on all of our accomplishments, it's truly hard to believe a whole year as passed us by so quickly. Here are a few highlights from that memorable day:

Lastly, March 7, 2011 was officially declared "National Children's Study Awareness Day" by former Governor Haley Barbour:

So today we say "HAPPY NATIONAL CHILDREN'S STUDY AWARENESS DAY" to Hinds County, local partnering institutions, hospitals, advisory boards, and the community at large. Working together, we can help improve the health and development of children for generations to come.
