The day will consist of speakers, games, lunch, and various demonstrations. This year’s Cooperative University will be held on November 10, 2026.
This fun-filled day includes the following presentations and activities:
- Students will learn about Twin County Electric and what it means to be a cooperative
and why membership matters. - An overview of the Cooperative Youth Leaders program will allow students to see
what they will experience if they’re selected to attend the Leadership Workshop held
in Jackson and the Youth Tour of Washington, D.C. - Speakers from Cooperative Energy will explain how electricity is generated, types of
fuels used to produce electricity, and how it is delivered to your home. - Mississippi legislators will participate in a panel discussion, explaining how government
works, their role in it, and their personal and political career backgrounds.
Interviews | During the day, students will be asked to step away from Cooperative University to be interviewed by a panel of out-of-town judges and Twin County Electric employees. Only two students will be selected for the youth leadership program. Students will receive a letter informing them of the results.
