playwright Tennessee Williams. Mississippi University for Women is the first
public college for women in America and includes writer Eudora Welty among
its alumni. Tours of historic antebellum homes in Columbus (including
Waverley Plantation) and other social events will be part of the conference.
Columbus is only a 4½ -hour drive to Atlanta, New Orleans, or the Gulf Coast
and, for Elvis and Blues fans, only 2½ hours to Memphis.
