TigerTalk 243 05/03/2023

Northeast Mississippi Community College president Dr. Ricky G. Ford sits with Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery and changes up the format of TigerTalk. Instead of two questions and limited discussion, the two hosts focus on one main issue for an extended time and then head into the Northeast News. In this interview, Calvery and Ford discuss the goals and mission of Northeast and how the college not only focuses on the employees and students, but also the surrounding Booneville/Prentiss County community through strategic partnerships with local businesses and industries. Ford expounds on the mission and goals and talks about the future of Northeast with the expansion of the Career and Technical facility to the Old Corinthian Furniture location, a need for a fine arts building, and a need for a bigger Student Activities arena to help the students enjoy their time in the City of Hospitality. To wrap up the time, Ford gives listeners the Northeast News and discusses upcoming events on the college's calendar.  For those who may have missed an episode, all Northeast TigerTalk episodes are archived at https://nemcctigertalk.simplecast.com. 🎙️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.
