Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at the legislative priorities for not only Northeast but all 15 community colleges in the Magnolia State. Ford breaks down the three pillars that the community colleges will be asking the Mississippi Legislature to fund in 2027, including $41.5 million for the Jobs Promise Performance Program to train 5,500 highly skilled workers for high-demand careers, $39 million in general support to improve salaries and retain talented educators, and $100 million for capital improvements and necessary campus repairs. Ford also explains the funding formula used to distribute resources among Mississippi's community colleges and how each of these investments would directly benefit Northeast students, faculty, and facilities. In addition to the three pillars, the colleges are requesting $2 million to support Adult Education programs. Ford highlights the critical role Adult Education plays in workforce development, from helping individuals earn their HiSET to preparing them for employment or continued education at Northeast. Ford discusses the long-term impact these investments could have across the community college system and how strategic funding can strengthen opportunities for students and communities alike. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

While the house blows up on the live feeds, the alumni start their own battles online, creating non-stop drama for fans and former houseguests alike. This episode dives into the chaotic nomination fallout, with Angela donning the egg costume punishment and getting into a heated showdown with Jason.

Meanwhile, the vets and newbies scramble as Rome's unpredictable gameplay and his partnership with Lyric shake up the pecking order, blurring alliance lines and sparking hilarious and tense diary room moments. Eric points out Angela's factual takedown of Jason and wonders if nomination speeches are now play-acted for the camera. Rob notes the live feeds returning mid-ceremony as a shocking boost for fans and a rare production slip. Eric reflects on alumni fights, saying the show's environment and social media draw out lingering rivalries every season. Both discuss if Rome's exit would help or hurt the reset against the vets, and debate the future for Rome, Lyric, and their influencer ambitions. With returnees wielding early power but newbies stirring the pot, Summer of Stein asks: can the underdogs disrupt the veteran alliance or is a steamroll inevitable?

In this special live taping of The (Im)Perfect Cheerleader I am sitting down with TopCats alum at the Beyond the Field alumni event focused on three pillars: Rise, Rally, and Restore. We did a somatic yoga session, line danced, and connected with each other for recharging and resetting. As you can see in the video, alumni had booths set up to showcase their businesses and platforms. I had a chance to interview amazing alumni on site who shared their personal stories of how they rise, rally, and restore after TC life. Anyone can get something out of these conversations, so I hope you enjoy them! I want to give a special shoutout to Dr. Lenee Cook-Braxton and Cyndi Crosby for inviting me to be a part of this event and for letting me sit down with them. Special thanks also go DaWanda Bittle, Annalise Coleman and Hannah Grey Elrose for sharing the mic with me. If you are a TopCats alum, be on the lookout for more events by following CPFCAA on socials. I'll be teaching an alumni class soon!

For Alecia Harris '23, art is as essential as breathing, and it's something everyone deserves to have access to. So she's turned that belief into a career that sits at the intersection of art and business, with a mission focused on making art accessible.After years working in arts programming and visitor engagement at Rice University's Moody Center for the Arts, she earned her Professional MBA from Rice Business, then pivoted into private wealth management at J.P. Morgan, where she built a client book of art collectors and museum donors. Now, as chief development officer at the Rothko Chapel, she's channeling all of that experience into leading fundraising and development for one of Houston's most iconic cultural institutions, during a pivotal moment in its history.Alecia joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to discuss her winding path from art history to finance and back, what “radical hospitality” means in practice, how her MBA gave her the 50,000-foot view she needed, and why Houston's next generation of patrons must step up to steward the city's world-class cultural institutions into the future.Episode Guide:00:00 Meet Alecia Harris01:09 Finding Art History02:29 Art Without Intimidation05:02 Radical Hospitality06:26 The Rothko Chapel07:39 Renovation and Light09:13 Why Get an MBA12:21 From Arts to JPMorgan14:26 MBA Learning Curve15:46 Art Advantage in Banking21:37 Development Role Day to Day23:43 Leadership Across Sectors28:17 Travel for Art31:08 Houston Hidden GemsThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Why arts shouldn't be a luxury 5:41: If you stand in front of a piece of work, often Rothko paintings, like people talk about having your Rothko moment, like people are moved to tears. They have these transformative experiences in front of it. Why shouldn't that be available to everybody? And for me, even when I was working in, at JPMorgan, and I was working in finance, I had to have access to art every day because for me, it's like breathing. And I think good art holds a mirror up to society. It helps you process universal truths. It helps you connect to people. It's so important to me. It's not a luxury. It's something that I think everybody has to have access to it. And so anything that I can do to make people feel as if they also have an ownership over this, they have a right to access it, that's something that I'm very motivated by.The 50,000-foot view of leadership23:15: I never would have had that 50,000 square foot view or really been able to understand how all the different pieces came together if I hadn't gone to business school. So I'm so, so fortunate that I have that perspective. One, just the scope of programs that we learned at Rice, but then also getting that experience working at the bank and now being able to bring all of that to this very worthwhile organization is incredibly meaningful.Why curiosity makes better leaders23:55: For me, there's not really the qualities that I look for in a leader that I don't look for and think are worthwhile in just general human beings. Like this curiosity and openness, a willingness to listen. I think we can learn so much from unexpected places, take inspiration from unexpected places. I'm somebody that's a big info gatherer, and I'll take something and it's like I don't really know what I'm going to do with that or why I needed to know that right now, but I'll put it, you know, in my back pocket. And then those moments when you're able to make the connection later and it kind of unlocks new meaning or new opportunity, those are always really rewarding.Show Links: Rothko ChapelMoody Center for the Arts | Rice UniversityTranscriptGuest Profile:Alecia Harris | Rothko Chapel

In this episode, Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery take a closer look at one of the most impactful - yet often unseen - investments Northeast makes in student success: faculty development and instructional innovation. While new buildings and visible upgrades often draw attention, Dr. Ford highlights the “quiet money” spent behind the scenes on professional development, course redesign, and instructional training. From more than 600 hours of professional development completed by Math and Science faculty in the past academic year to the creation of an Employee Development Center housed in the Eula Dees Memorial Library, Northeast continues to prioritize equipping its faculty with the tools needed to adapt to an ever-changing educational landscape. These efforts have already led to measurable results, with student success rates increasing from 72 percent to 80 percent following enhanced technology integration and instructional strategies. Ford also explores why these investments often go unnoticed by students and the community - and why that is by design. Small changes in teaching methods, curriculum delivery, and faculty support ultimately create a stronger learning environment, even if students only see the outcomes. Additionally, Ford discusses the role of the Student Success Center and Northeast's commitment to doing everything possible to position students for success, while emphasizing the shared responsibility between the institution and its students. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at Northeast.

What do you do when you're offered an opportunity that will definitely stretch you but also scares you, and your first instinct is to hand it to someone else, because you feel you're not quite qualified? That's the moment we unpack in this interview with Ai Asakura, Alumni Program Manager for the TOMODACHI Initiative at the U.S.-Japan Council, who I met at an expat meetup in Fukuoka this spring — one with that same eclectic, cross-cultural energy as New York City, where you connect peer to peer with people from all walks of life. Ai is bicultural like me, and she's spent her career building bridges — between Japan and the U.S., and between mentees and the mentors who help shape their paths. But it took her some time to recognize being bicultural as her own superpower, and when she did, it empowered her to say yes to an opportunity most people would've handed to someone with a bigger title.Key TakeawaysLeadership is not a job title: You can be a leader as a mentor, a community organizer, a parent, or a volunteer—impact and initiative matter more than status.Networking is people-to-people connection, not transaction: Powerful “networking” often looks like simply being curious about others and building genuine human relationships.Bicultural identity is a superpower: Living between cultures, as Ai does between Japan and the U.S., creates unique insight, empathy, and the ability to act as a bridge.Opportunities often arrive through community: Ai's major career transitions—from hospitality to translation to TOMODACHI—came through relationships and community involvement.Saying yes can be the real “risky conversation”: Accepting the invitation to represent her region as a mentor felt risky to Ai, but turning it down would have meant betraying the message she gives her mentees about stepping up.Operation TOMODACHI to TOMODACHI Initiative: The humanitarian response to the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake evolved into a long-term leadership and exchange program impacting over 10,000 alumni.Exposure to hope changes trajectories: Young people from disaster-affected regions returned from U.S. programs with renewed hope, agency, and a desire to rebuild their communities.Community work can clarify your own identity: Serving Japanese communities in the U.S. helped Ai reconnect to her Japanese roots and recognize her role as a cultural bridge.Curiosity is a core leadership habit: Being genuinely interested in people—their stories, cultures, and experiences—naturally expands your world and your opportunities.There is still hope in the world: Despite global uncertainty, Ai emphasizes that human-to-human connection, especially across cultures, is a powerful source of hope.FeaturedConnect with Ai Asakura on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ai-asakura0977/Learn about the US-Japan Council: https://www.usjapancouncil.org/Connect with Jamie Lee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leejieunjamie/Learn about 1:1 executive coaching with Jamie Lee here: https://www.jamieleecoach.com/applyText me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show? Don't miss an episode, listen and subscribe via Apple Podcasts or Spotify.  Leave me a review in Apple Podcasts. Connect with meBook a free hour-long consultation with me.

In this episode of Academia et al, Zeinab El Khateeb speaks with Dr Jasper Green about a career that has moved between biology, classroom teaching, doctoral research and teacher education.

After building a career in enterprise risk management and rising to senior leadership in banking, Kenzel Fallen '12 and her husband Tio turned a shared passion for specialty coffee into Three Keys Coffee — a roastery and cafe focused on sustainability, creativity and music. What started as a side project during COVID has since landed on the shelves of Trader Joe's and been named Food & Wine's “Best Coffee Roaster in Texas.”As CEO of Three Keys Coffee, Kenzel is combining her Rice MBA training with her risk management mindset to navigate the daily challenges of owning a rapidly growing business. On this episode, she joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to chat about the inception of Three Keys Coffee, why entrepreneurship was a surprising path for her, and how Rice Business provided the right launchpad.Episode Guide:00:00 Meet Kenzel Fallen01:02 How Love Brought Her to Rice Business05:27 From Risk to Coffee Entrepreneurship09:13 Shopping Your Values12:00 Working as a Couple14:59 COVID Launch and Growth18:08 Sourcing and Supply Chain21:35 Jazz Brand Inspiration25:03 Awards and Recognition30:41 Coffee Impact and Purpose35:04 What's Next for Three Keys37:31 Distinguished Alumni Honor39:10 Advice for Aspiring FoundersThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Your network is your education04:36: Sometimes when people hear that, you know, your network is your net worth, it's almost more of a sense of, someone can just get you an introduction, or they can get you in a room. And it's not so much about having adjacency to people. I think that's more, that's like social climbing, right? But when you network, I see that as sharing. I see that as exchanging information and insights. And so, for me, when I think of that phrase, like "network is your net worth," I look at that as enhancing your education, enhancing your perspective, enhancing how deeply you understand the world and society that we live and work in. And sometimes you do have to rely on a lot of different experiences and perspectives. And for me, that's how that network expands.Bringing the cafe experience at home22:50: Jazz was actually one of the genres that helped with the advent of, you know, vinyl albums. You know, people wanted to be able to take that live music experience but be able to enjoy it and celebrate it at home. Prior to some of the early jazz recordings, there really was just, like, classical music that had actually been put on vinyl. And so jazz allowed people to bring home that concert and that live band experience, and that's the same thing that we kind of wanted to do with coffee. It's like, "Hey, you don't have to go to a shop. You get the right beans. You understand how to make them. You can have that cafe experience at home." And so kind of drawing that parallel as well in the way that we wanted to create coffee and share coffee with people.The email that changed everything25:25: I remember getting an email that was like, "Hey, we're thinking about doing, you know, highlighting different coffee shops. Can you send us some pictures of your shop?" And it was from Food & Wine, but I'm just thinking, "Oh, they're just going to highlight a bunch of folks." I had no clue. I truly had no clue until the announcement was made that we were named. They had us on the list as the best in Texas. We were just, I mean, mind-blown.Show Links: Three Keys CoffeeTranscriptGuest Profile:Kenzel Fallen | Rice BusinessKenzel Fallen | LinkedIn

On this episode of TigerTalk, Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at what Northeast -- and colleges across the country -- provide students that cannot be captured on a transcript. Ford shares how the college experience helps students find their voice, build confidence, and develop the courage to speak up.

Howard Heevner, co-founder of the National Alumni Survey, argues the core problem with institutional giving isn't debt, apathy, or generations rejecting philanthropy—82% of alumni gave or volunteered last year—but a “30-point cliff” between 87% who love their education and only 17% satisfied with the post-graduation relationship. Alumni who feel their priorities are extremely well known give about $500,000 lifetime versus under $4,000 when they don't, highlighting the cost of not listening. Heevner critiques transactional, forced-choice fundraising and warns technology and AI can make outreach more efficient but not more trustworthy. 2026 National Alumni Survey Results - - - -Connect With Our Host:Mallory Willsea https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/https://twitter.com/mallorywillseaAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

"The schools in the Concordia University System are an incredible gift; we have a responsibility to steward them well for the next generation," says Dr. Peter Nafzger, associate professor of Practical Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. In this conversation Nafzger and Rev. Jeff Cloeter, pastor of Christ Memorial Lutheran Church, compare their experiences as alumni and as parents of students attending a Concordia University.

Episode 630: Another moment of the Red Sox season that feels like rock bottom comes at the hands of the Colorado Rockies. The Red Sox dropped two of three in Colorado in a series that felt like Boston could have swept. The guys try to digest the disappointing series and discuss just how bad this season has been. They also break down Jarren Duran's ongoing struggles and react to Craig Breslow's latest ridiculous comments about potentially not selling at the trade deadline. One of the most frustrating parts of this season has been wasting a really strong Red Sox pitching staff.

Two Rice alums are shaking up the renewable energy world with Tierra Climate, an AI-powered energy storage platform that's quietly reshaping how the power grid works.Co-founded by Jacob Mansfield (BA '16) and Emma Konet (PMBA '24), Tierra Climate is driven by a shared belief that the transition to clean power needs to happen faster. Both have been passionate about the energy space since early in their careers, and when they saw an opportunity to use AI and software to accelerate the deployment of storage on the grid, they committed fully, leaving stable careers behind to build something that could make a real impact on climate change.They join host Brian Jackson '21 to trace their unlikely path from Citibank trading desks to startup life. They open up about the underlying anxiety of early-stage founding but why entrepreneurship is still worth it, how large-scale batteries are being underutilized on the grid, and the ways the Rice network keeps showing up.Episode Guide:00:00 Introductions & Origin Stories06:29 Founding Tierra Climate11:39 Customers & the Energy Storage Market16:36 The Startup Journey23:11 Taking the Leap & Building with AI29:29 The Rice Network & Industry Trends35:33  What's Next & the Texas PilotThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Magic happens when you commit20:13: [Jacob Mansfield] I had a professor in business school that said that magic happens when you commit. There's some sort of like lucky space of serendipity that you invite, and you talk to people, and you clearly come from the space and you understand their pain points, and yet you've kind of left all of that world to try to solve the problem. I think that's pretty compelling for folks. I think it's committing at inception, but it's like a continual process of commitment throughout the entire journey.On finding the courage to go all in18:48: [Emma Konet] I think going into that program, I'm not sure I ever would've quit my job and foregone health insurance and taken the big risk, because I was scared. I mean, I was genuinely like, "Oh, like, that feels really risky. I'm not sure my risk tolerance is there." But through the process of my MBA, I think because Rice is so focused on entrepreneurship, that's kind of in the veins of the MBA program throughout. I basically got convinced that it wasn't as big of a risk as I thought, and I think throughout that program, it just made me realize, you know what? Just do it. Like, it was kind of the "just do it, just take the leap" mentality that pushed me over the edge, and I'm very glad that I went full-time on this. On building something that matters16:11: [Jacob Mansfield] Emma and I used to joke early on this concept of existential dread, which I'm sure founders can relate to. You know, when you work in a big organization, it may get some little nervousness around, like bonus day or when you hear, there's going to be some reorg. But generally speaking, I wasn't concerned, going in day in and day out, that Citibank would be in existence. It was one of the largest companies in the world. And so I think the difference is when you start a company, you do have, like, those butterflies in your stomach or that kind of like, okay, like, I want to make sure that what I'm building is going to amount to something and be meaningful.Show Links: Tierra Climate“Clean Energy's Missing Link” | Rice MagazineTranscriptGuest Profile:Jacob Mansfield | LinkedInEmma Konet | LinkedIn
