U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) talks Monday with students in MSU President Mark Keenum's Leadership Class. With a 38-year career as a U.S. congressman and senator, Cochran shared principles of leadership that have guided him through his public service profession representing the people of Mississippi. The class, which also included a question and answer session on current events, has welcomed a wide range of local, state and federal elected officials, opinion makers and business leaders.
