In this sixty-sixth (66th) edition of the TigerTalk podcast presented by Northeast Mississippi Community College, host Will Kollmeyer welcomes the reigning Mississippi Virtual Community College Instructor of the Year Carlena Benjamin back to the podcast. Benjamin recently received the honor at the Creating Futures Through Technology Conference on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Benjamin talks about the innovation that she has brought to her classroom and about some of the comments that supported her nomination for the award. In addition to the award, Benjamin talks about time management, where she is one of the top innovators on campus in the classroom, a co-director of the NEMCC Honors Institute, a wife and mother of two and finishing up her doctorate degree through Delta State University this week. In the second half of the podcast, Northeast jazz band director Jason Beghtol joins the podcast to talk about the Northeast Jazz Band Concert where he will have seven guest artists in attendance at the event. With seven guest artists, six will be NEMCC alumni while the seventh will be as Beghtol puts it, 'an adopted Tiger.'
