let's start recognizing the positives of our U. For instance the wonderful work of Dr. Katherine Nugent,dean of nursing. She is melding that department into one of the best in the country. Incidentally,she is a big time supporter of the athletic program. Every time anyone tells me that we don't have enough money,I quickly ask them what are we gonna do about it. We,alumni most stop talking this way,our leaders need to stop talking this way.it is like a cancer eating at us.Investors,students and alumni do not want to be a part of an entity that is constantly telling its people that Southern Miss is broke. We simply have to get our thinking out of that mode.
