Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford sits down with Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery to discuss the inclement weather that has caused the college to shut down for the remainder of the week and switch from in-person to virtual learning. Ford also addresses the addition of cross country in the fall of 2024, the hiring of a cross country coach, the impact that athletics has on the college's enrollment and bottom line, and the financial responsibilities that the college has when adding a sport. To wrap up, Ford gives listeners the Northeast News and discusses athletics, academics, workforce, student activities, and human resources, along with many more important things happening at one of the nation’s top community colleges.
