CHANCELLOR’S 3 THINGS TO KNOW


As we kick off a new semester, I’m excited about all that spring brings us: the energy of student activities like RebelTHON and the Big Event, beautiful weather, Double Decker, and — last, but not least! — the return of all of our spring sports including our national championship baseball team to Swayze Field for another exciting season. All of it culminates in the most important event on our calendar, Commencement. Check out the special section for dates you won’t want to miss.
READ ABOUT OUR SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT: To start 2023, I contributed an op-ed about the University of Mississippi’s substantial impact on our state. What a great way to share with readers far and wide how we develop future leaders, drive job and business creation, pioneer new solutions and serve our neighbors and communities. See the three things below from the op-ed, and be sure to go read it in its entirety!
  • WE EDUCATE TOMORROW’S LEADERS: The University of Mississippi has long been committed to shaping future leaders, and these efforts extend beyond the boundaries of our campus with programs that engage K-12 students. The “Pathways to Leadership” program, run by the Trent Lott Leadership Institute, provides valuable training for high school students on the Mississippi Gulf Coast so that they can drive positive change in their hometowns. Also, the McLean Entrepreneurial Leadership Program provides a weeklong summer program for high school students to develop action-oriented solutions to issues in their communities.
  • WE CARE FOR MISSISSIPPI: As the state’s only academic medical center, the University of Mississippi Medical Center provides indispensable services to all Mississippians. UMMC is home to Mississippi’s only children’s hospital, only Level I trauma center, and only organ transplant program. This month, the IHL board of trustees added to that list by approving a new Mississippi Burn Center on the UMMC campus in Jackson. After the closure of the state’s only burn center in October, UMMC leaders stepped up to preserve a critical service for our state and keep burn care for Mississippians in Mississippi.
  • WE PIONEER NEW DISCOVERIES: Our researchers tackle pressing national and regional concerns every day. Our physicists are “listening” to tornadoes to develop technology that could revolutionize how we detect and track them, thereby saving lives by improving early warning systems. In biomedical engineering, our researchers are examining cytoskeletal diseases such as cancer and heart disease as well as new treatments for metastatic breast cancer. These are just a couple of the many ways in which we’re addressing challenges that touch all of us: protecting our environment, finding remedies for diseases, and building a more prosperous and stronger future through technology and innovation.
Until next month, take care!
