In this forty-fifth (45th) episode of the TigerTalk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College, we inch closer to celebrating one year as Northeast's official podcast that discusses all the events happening on campus and gives regular insight with in-studio guests. In this episode of the TigerTalk podcast, host Will Kollmeyer welcomes diesel technology instructor Jonathan Alexander to the podcast to talk about an important event coming up in October -- the HEADS event. Northeast hosts the annual Higher Education Achieves Demonstratable Skills event each year and this year's event will have a few surprises for the attendees. In addition to opening the event up to the general public to help recruit motivated students, Alexanders states that the HEADS event is now open to all students in grades 7-12 and that they have arranged to feed the students in attendance at the event. In a surprise move, HEADS organizers have been able to move the pep rally from the quad in front of the Ramsey Student Services Building to the empty lot at the corner of Second Street and Cunningham Boulevard to help bring participants closer to the action. It's going to be a great day to be a Tiger on Thursday, October 11. In the second half of the podcast, Kollmeyer welcomes Josh Culpepper, the college's bookstore manager to the podcast, as Culpepper introduces listeners to changes to the bookstore as the college embraces the 1:to:1 iPad initiative where most textbooks are in electronic form. Culpepper also highlights the pride that the bookstore takes in making sure that everyone that visits is decked out in Northeast colors and spirit. Kollmeyer wraps up the podcast with a new addition to the publication -- an extended version of what is coming up on campus that details events happening on and around the Northeast campus in a daily breakdown. If you haven't subscribed to the podcast, now would be a good time to subscribe to stay up-to-date on all the happenings on the Northeast campuses and hear in-depth interviews with guests each week.
