One of the most important moments in the early history of the civil rights movement was the performance by opera star and Philadelphian Marian Anderson. Anderson performed at the Lincoln Memorial on April 9, 1939 and this concert became iconic because it was arranged after Anderson was denied permission to perform at Constitution Hall by the daughters of the American Revolution due to her race. Now history is being made again when the Kimmel Cultural Campus will rename Verizon Hall - Marian Anderson Hall.

Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College
In a little over 11 minutes, Northeast president Ricky G. Ford gives a brief rundown of everything that is happening at one of the premier institutions in the United States...Northeast Mississippi Community College. Ford talks about the enrollment numbers for the summer sessions and those numbers topping those of earlier summers before the global covid shutdown and fall in summer numbers in 2020. Ford also address the promotion for someone on campus after the retirement of their supervisor and how they will do an excellent job on not only the Booneville campus but also all the college's off-campus locations. Ford speaks about a service that the college offers through the North Mississippi Medical Center and that is an Employee Assistance Program that allows full-time employees, their spouses, and children to seek professional, confidential, and short-term counseling that the college pays for. In keeping with the human resources theme, Ford addresses the need to fill open positions on campus such as an accountant, an assistant athletic trainer, an Associate Degree Nursing instructor, a chemistry instructor, a physical science instructor, an economics instructor, a recruiter and a groundskeeper as well as the HR department at the college will be busy with interviews for an English instructor, a Director of Employee Development and success coaches. Ford says that professional and administrative contracts should go out around June 1 and those expecting a contract should check their email. Ford talks about that Northeast never stops or slows down for summer and that includes summer school, construction projects and conferences that the college helps to put on. In a construction update, Ford gives information on the Mississippi Department of Transportation Phase II project to make the crossings on Veterans Drive safer in front of Anderson Hall and the bidding of Phase III that will see construction work on College Street and down Ellis Avenue. Ford talks about the renovations to the Seth Pounds Auditorium and the need for the water penetration test to come back before the architect can send a proposal to the Mississippi Bureau of Buildings so that the project can continue. Ford talks about the hope for the Northeast Tennis Courts to be done in time for the 2023 Spring season and other projects such as the finishing of the Outdoor Classrooms, new flooring, lighting, and updates to the kitchen area in the childcare part of Waller Hall. Ford also gives a brief looking into events coming up such as Orientation (June 9, 16, 23 and possibly July 12), the Mobile Learning Conference and the impending Apple Distinguished Schools deadline.

Canadian Navy and International Naval Security The Canadian warship HMCS ”Calgary”, a multi-role patrol frigate, is scheduled for deployment to the Persian Gulf in 2008. Commander Kelly Larkin will talk about the Canadian Navy's role in helping to maintain naval security, as part of the USA led coalition forces, operating in that part of the world. Given the tense political climate in the Middle East, the mission is bound to have some elements of danger not normally experienced elsewhere. Commander Larkin will also give his thoughts on Canada's northern coastal waters, which could become navigable in the not too distant future. Certainly a very challenging test would await the Canadian Navy in parts of the Arctic Ocean and Northwest Passage, where waters have not previously been navigated. Few, if any, can accurately predict what effect global warming will have in general and on the Canadian Navy in particular, but no doubt Kelly Larkin will have an educated guess on the latter. Speaker: Commander Kelly Larkin CD, SSM Kelly Larkin was born in Vancouver, BC in 1961. He became a Sea Cadet in his early teens and joined the Canadian Navy in 1980. In working through the ranks, Commander Larkin has experience with most aspects of Navy life, including several postings aboard Submarines. Promoted to the rank of Naval Commander in 2002, he was given command of HMCS “Protecteur” in 2005 and since August 01, 2006, Larkin has been in charge of HMCS “Calgary”. Moderator: T. B. A. Date: November 26, 2007 Time: Noon - 1:30 PM Location: Andy's Place (Free designated parking just outside) Anderson Hall, University of Lethbridge Cost: $10.00 (includes lunch) and students $5.00

Special Session: Tuesday March 27th! Oil Sands Fever: The Environmental Implications of Alberta's Oil Sands Rush SACPA, in partnership with The University of Lethbridge Public Interest Research Group and Student Union is pleased to announce a special SACPA- on-Campus session on this very important issue. Managing the environmental impacts arising from the pace and scale of development in the oil sands is a considerable challenge that must be urgently addressed, particularly in light of new goals to increase oil sands production five-fold. As Alberta's boreal forest is torn up for oil sands development, the environmental impacts to air, land and water in Alberta are increasing rapidly. Not surprisingly, Alberta is now Canada's pollution capital for industrial air pollutants, and the oil sands are the single largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions growth in Canada.” Please join Simon Dyer, at a special presentation addressing the environmental impacts oil sands development in northern Alberta. The discussion will include Pembina''s recommendations for a moratorium on new oil sands developments until strategies are in place to prevent irreversible damage to Alberta's environment and Albertans obtain a fair share from the development of their resource. Speaker: Simon Dyer, Senior Policy Analyst with the Pembina Institute SIMON DYER is a Senior Policy Analyst with the Pembina Institute. Simon is a member of Pembina's Energy Watch team, where his research focuses on the environmental implications of oil sands development. Simon is a registered professional biologist and has worked on land use issues in Alberta's boreal forest since 1999. Simon holds a Master of Science in Environmental Biology and Ecology from the University of Alberta, and a Master of Arts in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge, UK and is author of Death by a Thousand Cuts: Impacts of in situ oil sands development on Alberta's Boreal Forest. Moderator: Cody Sharpe email psa@uleth.ca Location: Andy's Place, Anderson Hall, University of Lethbridge There will be free designated parking just outside Andy's Place for this event.
