My students make me smile.

They also make me feel old.

I’ve known this young lady’s family since before she was born. And I had no idea who she was when I “voluntold” her to participate in a class activity. 🤭
And she was a good sport. Kudos, Kara, for playing along.

I’m looking forward to moderating this discussion with Rev. Tony Montgomery Sr. and Dr. Eric Mansfield Saturday, August 29th.

Rev. Montgomery will share his very personal journey of caring for his wife during her cancer treatment - and why he decided to document it in a book. It’s moving and inspiring.

Dr. Mansfield became a social media minister and prayer partner to thousands with his daily morning prayers on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram. Now he’s sharing that inspiration and motivation in the form of a daily devotional book.

Join the conversation with these authors.

Jackson friends, I hope to see you. Golden Triangle friends, make the drive. It will be time well spent.

The first day of class is in the books!

I have 183 new besties - in one class.

This is one of them. I had a secret to share and Lynleigh raised her hand when I asked if anyone thought they knew it. I called her up to whisper it in my ear. She was right so I let her share the news.

Don’t ask. That’s between my besties and me. 😉🤭

Take a listen.

The quiet before the fun.

We’re just hours away from thousands of footsteps joining mine on the sidewalks on the MSU campus. 🐾🐾

This is part of my work family - a group of creative, resourceful, and innovative folks in the MSU College of Business.

We recently attended a conference in South Carolina. I’ll spare you the details of our harrowing travel experience. Just know we rose from the ashes and showed up cute and ready to work. 🤭

Parents of college students, remind your kiddos to read their emails. 😊

Flashback Friday!

A friend found this gem at his parents’ house.

The good ole days ☺️

The future is bright for the Starkville Oktibbeha Consolidated School District. Thanks, Dr. McGee for the updates and a look ahead. 🐝🐝
