UA Students Inducted into Anderson Society
The Anderson Society is a leadership honorary that recognizes students who have made significant contributions to The University of Alabama. Twenty-four students are accepted each year; and seven honorary memberships are awarded to faculty and graduating seniors. While these contributions often take many forms, there are certain qualities of members of the Anderson Society that are prominently and ubiquitously found -- an immersion into some sort of community service, passion for improving the university community through both explicit and implicit means, and persistent effort to attain excellence in some sphere of university life. Once an Anderson initiate, members are expected to continue to devote themselves to service, some directly under the auspices of the Anderson Society, but much more individually.

Career Day 2019 at Mississippi College Attracts Record Number of Employers
Hours before Mississippi College's 2019 Career Day got started, Navy and Air Force recruiters signed up. It boosted the turnout to 87 employers sizing up hundreds of MC students. The MC Office of Career Services sponsored the February 12 event that shattered records. Recruiters from banks, hospitals, accounting firms, school districts, the government and other employment sectors networked with hundreds of students. After Tuesday's four-hour event wrapped up, MC leaders were elated with the response at a packed Anderson Hall. "The 87 employers was the most we've ever had," said Taylor Ormon, associate director of the Office of Career Services. "We worked hard to get more healthcare people here. All of the employers seemed very pleased." Employers visited from across Mississippi as well as states like Tennessee and Alabama. From the FBI to the Secret Service, from WJTV-12 in Jackson to the Clinton Public School District, recruiters filled tables with loads of job-related information. Ormon was delighted with the strong response from students in fields such as nursing, business or education. A Career Day fun run on the Clinton campus Monday helped promote the annual event. MC senior Jamie Cosby, 21, of Richland liked seeing so many recruiters under one roof within a few minutes. "This is a good place to get my resume out there," Cosby said after meeting with Clinton public schools leaders. "I don't need to travel to each school district," adds the education major. Clinton District Superintendent Tim Martin and public information officer Sandi Beason believe students came to the right place. About 65 percent of the teachers and staff in the Clinton district are Mississippi College graduates. It's clearly a sign that Mississippi College maintains a strong partnership with one of the Magnolia State's premier school districts. SGA Vice President Alex Rodriguez stopped by the Trustmark bank table and chatted with staffer Grant Melancon, a 2018 MC finance graduate. "They bring it all to you," says Rodriguez, a senior from Houston, Texas. "This helps." Students like Rodriguez were sharply dressed in suits or other formal attire as they made the rounds. A former Lady Choctaws basketball player with an undergraduate degree and MBA from Mississippi College, Olivia Mabry loved returning to her alma mater. Olivia works for Community Bank. She teamed up with colleagues Tammy Phillips, Mary Elizabeth Dulaney and Jacqueline Williams to recruit students. Nursing students Madison Beall of Birmingham, Alabama and Allie Wilson of Winona took advantage of the chance to instantly network with potential employers. Mississippi College graduate Chris Roebuck, marketing coordinator with WJTV-12, says there are several sales positions open at the Jackson TV station. "It's a good economy." MC graduate Mitchell Castro, a financial analyst at Raytheon in Forest, encouraged students to give his national company a good look. Raytheon now employs 800 people at its Forest plant and the number will grow in the new year. "There is so much work going on." Students with engineering degrees are welcome, but so are other majors, like business, at Raytheon in Scott County. FBI recruiter Erica Parker says students should check out internships as well as full-time jobs. Six MC students are taking part in FBI internships. "We are always hiring special agents, but also non-law enforcement positions all over the USA." Jobs are available at the Mississippi Department of Health. Recruiter Dawn Cuello says the Jackson-based agency will pick up a $25,000 to $50,000 student loan repayment for graduates working in underserved areas in Mississippi.

Experiences such as the Orientation Day of Service are not just "feel good" events. Service Learning curricula melds the classroom experience with the rigors of service, instilling sought-after qualities such as teamwork, leadership, empathy, and enthusiasm, as well as concrete foundations for creative and intellectual advancement.

UA Students Achieve Honors at 41st American Forensics Association National Individual Events Tournament Championships
Jalen Drummond, a senior from Wedowee, Alabama, finished first nationally in Informative Speaking at the 41st American Forensics Association National Individual Events Tournament Championships in Colorado Springs, CO. The Alabama Forensic Council traveled to the AFA-NIET with more than 20 students competing. "Preparing to compete on the national stage is nothing short of intense," Drummond said. "I spent hours perfecting my delivery, researching current events, and practicing with some of the most respected coaches in the nation. It is definitely grueling; however, the laborious preparation definitely pays off when you hear your name shouted as the national champion." Drummond's topic focused on the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and an Obama Administration report that sheds light on details of that day. Drummond's speech attempted to address and combat fake news and emphasizes the need for truth in reporting. The AFC entered 24 students in 66 events and advanced nine students in 15 events to quarter-finals, six events to semi-finals, and four events to the final rounds of competition. AFC finished in fifth place out of 63 competing schools for the second year in a row. "The fifth-place finish of the AFC at this year's National Speech tournament is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the students and staff," said Bobby Imbody, Director of Forensics. "All of the students did the hard work required to be great, and it shows. More importantly, our students tackled hard topics and spoke truth to any and all audiences in an effort to make their world a better place more than any year before." The AFA-NIET is the most competitive national forensics tournament in the nation with the most rigorous qualification process of any intercollegiate forensic tournament.
