Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College

In this week's episode, Northeast president Ricky G. Ford shares updates from the college's strategic doing committees including the plan to place AEDs in every building on campus and have someone in those buildings trained to use the devices. Ford also talks about the ways that Strategic Doing has undertaken to improve the quality between Northeast employees, students, and the community and each committee is working to make the college stronger and better. In a rundown of events, Ford talks about both the Lady Tiger and Tiger basketball teams making the Region XXIII Tournament and the men hosting the third round of the regional affair on Tuesday, March 1 at 6 p.m. in the Bonner Arnold Coliseum and the possibility of them advancing through the tournament and national tournament as well. Ford also talks about all the events happening on campus when it comes to baseball, softball, golf, tennis, and even the college's newest program -- archery, which has a match at Blue Mountain College on Tuesday, March 1 and then will officially open its tenure at Northeast at Mississippi College on Saturday, March 5. In addition to all the athletic events, the college is offering a variety of events throughout the spring semester such as the Campus Country concert in Hines Hall on March 3 and March 4, the annual Honors Day, and this year the PTK Spring Induction on April 18 and graduation in the Bonner Arnold Coliseum on May 12 and May 13.
