In episode 140 of the TigerTalk podcast presented by Northeast Mississippi Community College, host Will Kollmeyer welcomes Northeast president, Dr. Ricky G. Ford, to the podcast as Kollmeyer and Ford sit down to discuss what is happening at the college. Ford talks about the legislative agenda for the college and not just Northeast but the 15 community college's around the state. In addition to addressing the legislative needs of the community college system, the college president talks about the changes to the dual enrolled/dual credit system that is slowly making its way through the Mississippi legislature. Ford also focuses on the student process at the college from recruiting to enrollment and retention of students once they reach Northeast whether it is the Booneville, Corinth, New Albany, soon-to-be-open Ripley, hybrid, or virtually. Ford wants all the Northeast family to focus on recruiting and retaining students once they become part of the Northeast family. Ford also talks about a pair of awards the college has received in the last few weeks. One from Tree City USA and another from the Mississippi Historical Society. Ford also talks about workforce and economic development and addresses the idea of Ashley Furniture, Inc., bringing a plant to Booneville.
