In episode 143 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 a variety of topics that are happening at the college. Ford discusses the recent release of the mask mandates and opening businesses to 100-percent capacity by Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves and gives what Northeast will be doing in response to Executive Order 1549. Ford, who has spent a substantial amount of time in Jackson, gives an update on the Mississippi legislature and a couple of contentious bills that are going through the legislature at this point. In positive news, Ford talks about the recent designation of Northeast being named a "Voter Friendly Campus." Ford praises Will Bowlin for his work on getting that designation and talks about Bryan Mitchell's Humanities Teacher of the Year presentation on Monday, March 1 in the Hines Hall auditorium. The NEMCC president also gives an update on athletics and insight into in-person graduation and how the college will do it to help keep everyone safe.
