They are known for holding branches in their paws and gnawing on them like corn cobs. They build lodges and dams which occasionally flood roads. Cute, comical, and considered pests, beavers were nearly hunted to extinction for their pelts before conservation efforts allowed their populations to rebound. Now environmentalists and engineers are reintroducing North America's largest rodent to drought-prone habitats across the country. As the paddle-tailed animals' dam-building has revealed itself to be a potent bulwark against climate change-induced water scarcity, the beaver is being hailed as an ecological hero. Join us as we stomp through soggy meadows getting to know the OG geoengineers. From their water pressure-sensing tails to their intricate branch-weaving, find out why, as our nation's wetlands disappear, and new federal policies strip protection for many of those that remain, many think that partnership with a wild species could help build ecological resiliency. Guests: Leila Philip – Journalist and author of “Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America” Denise Burchsted – research scientist, and engineer, Keene State College Clay Frazer – restoration ecologist with Native Range Ecological Michael Waasegiizhig Price – traditional ecological knowledge specialist at the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission. He is Anishinaabe and a longtime tribal college educator serving at Leech Lake Tribal College and White Earth Tribal and Community College.

Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College
Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at the challenges facing Northeast and other community colleges across the state — many of which are not always visible from the outside. Ford discusses the changing landscape of higher education, including declining enrollment, the demographic cliff and budget pressures, as well as the structural and societal challenges affecting today's community colleges. Ford explains how institutions built around a 20th-century model of semester-based education are adapting to meet the needs of 21st-century students, including nontraditional learners seeking flexibility, stackable credentials and rapid skill acquisition. Ford also examines the pressure to move students quickly into the workforce or through short-term programs while ensuring they receive the broader education, guidance and pathways needed to continue their studies, develop as adults and build successful careers. While community colleges remain an affordable option, they face increasing pressure to demonstrate their return on investment in comparison with direct-to-workforce opportunities and short-term certificates. Ford explores how Northeast is responding to these challenges and working to provide meaningful educational opportunities for students and the communities it serves. 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.

Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College
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.

Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College
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.

Dreams and Determination: Meet four Inspiring students, Living with cystic fibrosis. One of the greatest joys of The Bonnell Foundation is helping young adults living with cystic fibrosis pursue their educational dreams. Every year, we award scholarships to students attending universities, trade schools, and community colleges. While these scholarships help with tuition and expenses, they also send an important message: we believe in these students and in the futures they are building. Living with cystic fibrosis often means balancing classes, careers, friendships, and family life alongside daily treatments, medications, and frequent medical appointments. For many families, the financial burden of CF can make the cost of higher education even more challenging. That's why our scholarship program is so meaningful. Each year, our top recipients receive $2,500 to help them continue their education and pursue their goals. The thank-you notes we receive from recipients are heartfelt reminders that a scholarship is about much more than money. It is about hope, opportunity, and encouragement. On this week's podcast, we are honored to introduce four remarkable scholarship recipients whose determination and resilience inspire us. Serena Scillia is a 20-year-old from Westerville, Ohio, attending Bowling Green State University. Serena is studying Early Childhood Education and hopes to become a teacher. When she's not focused on her studies, she enjoys coaching volleyball, reading, and spending time with her family and beloved dog. Serena's passion for helping others shines through in her career choice, and she's determined to make a difference in the lives of children. Jayla Jacobs has been living with cystic fibrosis since she was diagnosed at age five. Now 18 years old, she has already become a powerful advocate for the CF community. Jayla has spoken at multiple fundraising and awareness events, including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Guys and Dolls Auction Gala, where she helped raise an incredible $2.2 million for CF research. This fall, she will begin studying English at North Carolina State University. Jayla loves outdoor adventures, drawing, and writing stories. She also understands the impact of CF on families, with two of her brothers living with the disease as well. Isabella Banaszynski is preparing for an exciting new chapter as she heads to Drexel University in Philadelphia this fall. An accomplished club wrestler and aspiring architect, Isabella has already demonstrated the discipline and determination needed to succeed in demanding environments. She plans to major in Architecture while continuing to pursue her athletic interests. Isabella's journey is proof that living with CF does not define what is possible. Ben Ferguson attends Taylor University and is majoring in Finance. Originally from Columbus, Indiana, Ben comes from a large family with four brothers and one sister. While he is the only member of his family living with cystic fibrosis, he has never allowed the disease to limit his ambitions. Ben is focused on building a successful future while managing the daily challenges that come with CF. These four young adults represent the strength, perseverance, and optimism that define so many people in the cystic fibrosis community. Their stories remind us that while CF can create obstacles, it does not determine a person's potential. Join us on this week's podcast as Serena, Jayla, Isabella, and Ben share their experiences living with cystic fibrosis, pursuing higher education, and what receiving a Bonnell Foundation scholarship means to them. Their stories are inspiring, their goals are ambitious, and their futures are bright. This is exactly why The Bonnell Foundation continues its scholarship program year after year: to invest in dreams, support determination, and help the next generation of leaders living with cystic fibrosis reach their full potential.

Ford shares how the college experience helps students find their voice, build confidence, and develop the courage to speak up. He discusses the importance of perseverance when challenges arise and highlights the personal growth that occurs beyond the classroom, including discipline, friendships, critical thinking, resilience, and a sense of purpose. Ford emphasizes that while these qualities may never appear on a piece of paper, they are ultimately what make a diploma truly valuable. At Northeast, those intangible traits are cultivated every day, shaping students into well-rounded individuals prepared for life beyond college.

For many students, community college isn't Plan A. In this episode of Higher Ed Conversations, host Cheryl Broom sits down with GradComm interns Mariana Rosas and Alexis Cabrera to discuss their unexpected paths to community college and how those decisions ultimately opened doors they never anticipated. Mariana shares why she walked away from a four-year university after orientation, eventually finding a pathway that led her to UCLA. Alexis reflects on how changing plans led him from culinary school and out-of-state universities to community college, where he discovered opportunities that helped shape his future. Together, they explore what these experiences reveal about how community colleges communicate their value and what institutions can do to help more students see community college as a first-choice option. From campus life and internships to high school outreach and social media, this conversation offers practical insights for higher education marketers looking to better connect with prospective students.What You'll Learn:Why community college is often viewed as a backup option. How affordability and flexibility can support students' long-term goals. Why showcasing campus life, internships, and student experiences matters. Why colleges can't assume students are learning enough about community college opportunities in high school. How storytelling and visibility can help position community college as a first-choice option.Thanks for listening!Connect with GradComm:Instagram: @gradcommunicationsFacebook: @GradCommunicationsLinkedIn: @gradcommSend us a message: GradComm.comHigher Ed Conversations is hosted by Cheryl Broom, CEO of GradComm, a marketing and branding agency specializing in community colleges and public education.

Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College
Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at some of the big projects that the college has going on on the Booneville campus. Ford highlights the ongoing renovations to the men's residence hall -- White Hall - and the significant improvements taking place to enhance student living spaces. He also discusses the Career Technical Education (CTE) build-out at the former Corinthian building on MS-4, noting the multi-phase approach with the first stage set to begin in late summer or early fall of 2026 to develop new classroom spaces. By relocating a majority of the college's CTE programs to the new facility, additional space will become available on the Booneville campus to expand healthcare programs and increase the number of graduates in high-demand medical fields. Ford also provides an update on the Seth Pounds Auditorium renovation, sharing that contractors are on schedule -- and in some cases ahead -- with completion now anticipated in spring 2027. Ford also discusses the Public Safety Training Center that will make Northeast one of the premier locations for training of public safety officials in the state. In addition, Ford touches on several other campus improvement projects, emphasizing that each carries its own timeline but will ultimately enhance the overall student experience in meaningful ways. 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.
The golf course is often called a “second office,” where business deals and professional relationships are formed — but too often, women in engineering haven't felt comfortable stepping into that space. In this episode, Nichole Neal, engineering faculty at Chandler-Gilbert Community College, and Kellie Phong, regional sales manager at Keysight Technologies, share how they created Swing 4 SWE, an initiative designed to bring students, faculty, and industry together on the green. Nichole reflects on how missing early-career golf invitations inspired her to build a program where women can learn the game in a supportive environment, and Kellie shares how Swing 4 SWE helped her say yes to networking opportunities she once would have avoided. Hear their personal experiences as first-generation college students, how Swing 4 SWE connects SWE members across community colleges and four-year universities, and why community colleges are a launchpad for success in the modern AI era. — The Society of Women Engineers is a powerful, global force uniting nearly 45,000 members of all genders spanning 90+ countries.

This Week: In what can only be understood as a shocker, new survey data shows the vast majority of Americans of nearly all demographic groups support undocumented students having access to public education. With some variation across groups, this goes for all ages, races, and even religious groups. In fact the only group that had less than 50% agreement with this idea was Trump voters, which I mean, is what it is. Does this mean there's hope for a sensible and moral path forward on this issue? Also, it turns out that in Califormia's community college system -- the largest higher ed system in the nation serving over 2M students -- nearly 40% of classes are now online, and most of those are now asynchronous classes comprised of prerecorded modules. How did we get here, and what does this mean for the future of learning in the system that serves the vast majority of college students? Manuel and Jeff discuss.

Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College
Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Community Relations Specialist Liz Calvery talk about the impact Northeast has on students. Ford reflects on the lasting impact of the college experience and what truly matters when students look back on their time at Northeast. Beyond assignments, exams, and late nights of studying, he emphasizes the personal growth that defines a student's journey—finding their voice, building confidence, and discovering strengths they may not have known they possessed. Ford shares how meaningful moments both inside and outside the classroom—from speaking up for the first time to forming friendships and connecting with faculty—shape not only academic success but personal development. He underscores that college is not just about earning a degree, but about learning how to think, adapt, persevere, and grow through challenges, even when that growth is uncomfortable. At its core, Ford explains, the value of a Northeast education lies in preparing students not just for a career, but for life—equipping them with resilience, curiosity, and the ability to keep moving forward when faced with adversity. It is about what students carry with them long after they leave campus: not only knowledge, but character.

Jeanie Tietjen unpacks trauma-informed practices in higher ed and why naming itself is a form of teaching on episode 626 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Naming goes so far back in, even just in literary terms, the importance of naming. -Jeanie Tietjen There is still a very nascent and as yet relatively unarticulated understanding of how profoundly trauma, adversity, and violence adversely affect teaching and learning. -Jeanie Tietjen Many students have experienced traumas that are situated in educational settings, bullying experiences that are identity-based, that profoundly shape how they feel about the educational setting as a place. -Jeanie Tietjen Learning is very vulnerable. It involves being wrong, failing, failing in front of other people. -Jeanie Tietjen Resources Naming the Urgency: The Importance of Trauma-Informed Practices in Community Colleges, by Jeanie Tietjen (chapter) Trauma Informed Pedagogies: A Guide for Responding to Crisis and Inequality in Higher Education, edited by Phyllis Thompson and Janice Carello The Institute for Trauma, Adversity, and Resilience in Higher Education Supporting the Whole Student: Mental Health, Substance Use, and Wellbeing in Higher Education (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine) What Happened to You?

Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College
Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at common misconceptions surrounding community colleges and set the record straight on what today's two-year institutions truly offer. Ford addresses the long-standing myth that community colleges are a “second option” for students who cannot attend a four-year university, emphasizing instead the intentional choice many students make for affordability, accessibility, and quality. He also challenges the perception that community college faculty are less qualified, noting that many instructors hold advanced degrees and bring extensive real-world and academic experience -- often comparable to, or exceeding, their counterparts at four-year institutions. The conversation highlights how Northeast delivers the same foundational courses found at universities at a fraction of the cost, without sacrificing academic rigor. Ford explains that while community colleges are often associated with career and technical education, they also play a critical role in preparing students for seamless transfer to four-year institutions, all while helping students enter the workforce with significantly less debt. Student life is another area where misconceptions persist. Ford discusses the wide array of opportunities available at Northeast, from campus events and intramural sports to clubs and student organizations -- sometimes rivaling or even surpassing offerings at larger schools. He also underscores one of the biggest advantages of the community college experience: smaller class sizes and a more personalized learning environment, which continue to attract students seeking stronger faculty engagement and support. 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.
