Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College

In 10 minutes, Northeast president Ricky G. Ford is happy to see people out and about this summer and with that comes a bevy of summer activities at Northeast. Last week, both the Tiger baseball team and the Lady Tiger softball team welcomed nearly 200 campers to the Northeast Baseball/Softball Complex on Third Street and new women's basketball coach Chelsey Rhoades has already had a busy summer with a two-day team camp and a three-day individual skills camp in the first week of June. This Thursday, the Northeast Mississippi Softball Coaches Association will take over the Northeast Baseball/Softball Complex for three games, including an underclassman game, a Classes 1/2/3A contest and a Classes 4/5/6A affair in the nightcap. Ford reminds everyone that it is not too late to sign up for the second summer school session in July, nor is it too late to sign up for the upcoming fall semester. Ford discusses the importance of Orientation and helping incoming students with their schedules, housing and financial aid, and helping them adjust to college life. Ford also talks about the Fiber Optic Technician training course that is coming to fruition and movements by the President's Cabinet to consolidate all printers on campus into centralized locations to help with troubleshooting and avoid supply chain issues with getting ink and so on forth. Ford addresses the 2023 budget and says that this year's budget is balanced and that the focus should be on next year's budget as it may be a different story. Ford announces evaluations of all programs to ensure that they are doing all they can to help students and attract even more to the campus. In big news, Ford announces that the Gaye Roden Carr Aquatic Center should be opening in the next few days.
