TigerTalk 130 10/06/2020

In episode 130 of the TigerTalk podcast presented by Northeast Mississippi Community College, host Will Kollmeyer welcomes Northeast president, Dr. Ricky G. Ford, to the podcast as Kollmeyer and Ford sit down to discuss what is happening at the college. In this week's update, Dr. Ford thanks the members of the Computer Center -- Greg Smith, Ron Smith, Mark Nichols, and Sarah Street -- for their tireless effort that they have put in over the last week to make sure instruction was not sacrificed as the college experienced some Internet issues. Ford also thanks the faculty and staff for the time they have put in to make sure that the students at Northeast get a quality education no matter what. Ford talks about the three recommendations from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges' virtual visit to campus and how Northeast will adjust to those recommendations by March 1. With the calendar turning to October, Ford talks about the season-opening win for the Tiger football team and gives an athletics update of upcoming football games such as this week's Saturday date at Mississippi Delta Community College and homecoming on Thursday, October 15. Ford also discusses how the college's Division of Workforce and Economic Development is helping with various projects around the college's five-county area. Kollmeyer and Ford both hit some important events coming up such as Priority Registration Day on Friday, October 30, the Campus Country Showtime on Thursday, October 8; Run with Ricky (a virtual 5K) that goes from October 15-October 31, and the weekly Food with the First Lady video cooking series that's released each Thursday.  🎙️TigerTalk – where Northeast tells its story, one episode at a time. For those who may have missed an episode, all Northeast TigerTalk episodes are archived at https://nemcctigertalk.simplecast.com.--NEMCC--Information about Northeast Mississippi Community CollegeNortheast Mississippi Community College is a leading educational institution that provides comprehensive academic, technical, and workforce training programs to empower students and promote lifelong learning.
