Host Will Kollmeyer welcomes listeners to the twenty-fourth edition of the TigerTalk podcast with Northeast political science/history instructor and president of the NEMCC Faculty Association Will Bowlin, who talks about the upcoming presentation by U.S. Representative Trent Kelly on Monday, April 23, the role of the Faculty Association and how Northeast’s iPad experience has transformed the classroom for faculty. Northeast transition specialist and SMART start coordinator Charlie Smart stops by with one of his success stories — Darren Sparks of Iuka — as Smart talks about the upcoming High School Equivalency (HSE) graduation on Monday, May 14, the two FREE short-term career pathways programs (a business pathway and a medical pathway program) and Sparks addresses what made him take the alternate route via the HSE after suffering a sports injury in high school.
