Invested in Service

Dr. Daniel Jones was inaugurated as the 16th Chancellor of the University of Mississippi in a ceremony this morning in the beautiful Gertrude C. Ford Center for Performing Arts. We will be posting the entire ceremony soon, but for now, here is newly inaugurated  Chancellor Dr. Daniel W. Jones’ investiture speech.

Pathway to Reconcilation

MDP was at the Overby Center tonight for “Ole Miss and the People of the World: A Symposium on Reconciliation.”  The panel, sponored by the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation, and moderated by Chanellor Dan Jones, looked at ways we can work toward reconciliation with nations we have historically had strained relations with.

Chancellor Jones is a standup guy.

Matthew and Micah (and crew) shot our new chancellor this morning in the circle as part of the university’s fall ad campaign.  Chancellor Jones nailed his first standup for us and I expect you will see him grace the pages of our blog many times to come.chancellorjonesgrove2
