January 23, 2017 Letters from the Chancellor

Welcome back!

Our Oxford campus, thanks to great care by our superb team of groundskeepers, is lush and alive and worthy of its perennial rating as the nation’s most beautiful.  It’s hard to believe how quickly the Grove has become so green.  I trust you are well-rested and recharged, ready to embark upon a new semester.  I know I certainly am; we have much to accomplish, grand challenges to tackle, and new heights to achieve.Read More

Lafayette-Oxford-University Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service 2017

January 18, 2017 Speeches

Welcome Address by Chancellor Jeffrey S. Vitter
January 16, 2017, 10:30 a.m.
Burns Belfry Church, Oxford, MS

Good Morning!  I am so pleased to be here. First, let me thank all the organizations that joined together to organize this day of community events.  You have done a fantastic job.

Today we celebrate and honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Dr. King taught us the importance of empathy and understanding.  He taught us that with empathy and understanding, we can reach across divides and forge just and inclusive communities.  I can think of no better way of honoring his message than by coming together as a community and recognizing the power and purpose of service.
