    In this week’s episode of the award-winning Tiger Talk podcast, join Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery as Dr. Ford discusses how Northeast stays connected to the communities it serves—and why those connections are essential to the college's mission.

    Dr. Ford explores the role of “community” in community college and shares the various ways Northeast engages with its five-county service district: Alcorn, Prentiss, Tippah, Tishomingo, and Union counties—and beyond. He talks about the presence of satellite campuses in several counties and the importance of maintaining contact and offering classes in all five. The college not only provides academic education to the citizens of each county but also strives to be a strong economic partner with local businesses, leaders, and industries.

    Dr. Ford also highlights how Northeast helps strengthen the region’s economy by producing a well-educated workforce ready to meet the needs of incoming and existing businesses. He praises the award-winning Adult Education program for its dual role in helping individuals earn their High School Equivalency (HiSET) diplomas and equipping them with the skills needed to become highly skilled members of the workforce.
