In this sixty-fourth (64th) edition of the TigerTalk podcast presented by Northeast Mississippi Community College, host Will Kollmeyer welcomes NEMCC's director of institutional effectiveness Amber Nelms to the podcast to talk about BRIDGES - a new program at Northeast that helps the college connect with K-12 schools in its area along with the community that it serves. Nelms talks about the mission and vision for BRIDGES and how she sees the program advancing in the next few months and years. In addition to announcing the BRIDGES program, Nelms lets listeners know that if they attend the inaugural BRIDGES conference on June 11 that they will receive a reduced rate to the NEMCC Mobile Learning Conference the next week to learn more advanced work with the iPad and technology in the classroom. In the second half of the podcast, Northeast chorus and choir director Claire Leeke stops by to talk about her program and how it has grown over the last few years since she has taken over as director of the Northeast chorus and chamber choir. In the last two years, the chorus has jumped from 50 people to nearly 75 students and has taken on a variety of performances each semester. Northeast's chorus just returned from the state convention in Meridian where it was able to network with industry professionals as well as other choruses and choirs and even joined together for a mass chorus during the convention. Leeke talks about the upcoming chorus performances - one in Tupelo and the other in Corinth - during her time on the podcast.
