On Saturday, March 6, the University Press of Mississippi celebrated its 40th anniversary with an afternoon picnic held during the Oxford Conference for the Book. The day’s events culminated with a book signing and toast to UPM at Square Books in Oxford. These events were a kickoff to a year-long celebration of UPM’s 40 years of publishing.
The afternoon picnic was attended by festival-goers, UPM staff members, and longtime friends of the Press. The culminating event to the Conference for the Book was the party at Square Books featuring a birthday cake and champagne toast for UPM by Square Books owner Richard Howorth.
