Letters from the Chancellor

Welcome to the Flagship Forum Website

February 29, 2016 Flagship Forum, Letters from the Chancellor

Greetings!

This day marks the launch of a new website flagship.OleMiss.edu designed to memorialize and elevate the important conversations we are having across the university as part of the Flagship Forum we began at the start of this semester. It is my hope that this site will become a virtual “water cooler” (or in more modern parlance, perhaps a “Starbucks”), around which we can all gather to share information and inspire thoughtful discourse about the important challenges and opportunities before us.

Greetings Colleagues,

When I was named the preferred candidate to become University of Mississippi chancellor, one of my first priorities was to visit the Medical Center to meet and get to know our gifted faculty and staff through a listening session at the Jackson campus.

Greetings Students!

When I was named the preferred candidate to become University of Mississippi chancellor last fall, one of my first priorities was to visit the Medical Center to meet and get to know our magnificent health sciences students through a listening session at the Jackson campus.

Greetings!

Thank you for your tireless work and dedication that led to UM receiving Carnegie’s highest research designation of Research 1 (R-1) https://news.olemiss.edu/um-recognized-among-countrys-elite-research-universities/. We join schools like Harvard, MIT, and Johns Hopkins in recognition afforded to only 2.5% of institutions of higher learning in the United States.

Letter to Alumni

February 1, 2016 Flagship Forum, Letters from the Chancellor

Having been on the job as chancellor almost a month, I am truly thankful for both your support and for your passion for Ole Miss. It has been a great start to a new semester. Evidence of excellence is everywhere across our historic campus and your support is an important factor in that excellence. With a dominating Sugar Bowl victory on my first day in office, followed six days later by the opening of the fantastic new Pavilion at Ole Miss, Sharon and I quickly got into the Ole Miss spirit.

Letter to Oxford and regional staff

January 29, 2016 Flagship Forum, Letters from the Chancellor

Thank you to all our staff for another great start to a new semester! You keep us going 24/7, even when our students are away. Evidence of your good work is everywhere — from the ease and speed of class registration and the consistently high customer service across campus to the condition of our physical plant and the remarkable year-round beauty of our campus. (Isn’t it a wonder how the Grove is green again after the million-plus footprints in the fall?)
