A new exhibit at the Colvard Student Union Art Gallery features images by Mississippi native Eudora Welty. This year's Maroon Edition author photographed her state extensively when she worked for the Works Progress Administration during the Depression. Her pictures are noted for including people of all races and social classes, and many of her photographs served as inspirations for her short stories. After a Nov. 1 opening, the exhibit will continue through Dec. 15. For more photos, visit facebook.com/msstate.
