In just over 10 minutes, Northeast president Ricky G. Ford gives a brief rundown of everything that is happening at one of the premier institutions in the United States...Northeast Mississippi Community College. Ford recaps the last week where the college saw many of its students walk in graduations such as the Health Sciences graduation, the Associate of Arts graduation, special softball graduation, and the HiSET/GED graduation on Monday, May 16. Ford talked about the magic moments of graduation and the stories behind many students overcoming adversity to graduate from college and the looks on their faces when they were able to finally walk across the stage and receive their diplomas. Ford discusses the changes coming to the Eula Dees Memorial Library including the additions of a Maker Space, where students can explore their creativity, and the recently announced Employee Development Center that will focus on professional development for faculty and staff as it concerns technology in the classroom and in everyday life. Ford also talks about upgrading the library and making it a student-centered and user-friendly space going forward. Ford gives a rundown of the various projects happening around campus including the addition of touchless water fountains in many of the buildings, the pouring concrete for outdoor classrooms, the conclusion of Phase II of the MDOT project, and the opening of Phase III of the project to make the campus safer.
