The Education of a Lifetime

In 1962, while a riot was in full swing on the University of Mississippi campus over the admission of James Meredith, Robert Khayat was an All-Pro kicker for the newly integrated Washington Redskins. He had no way of knowing that, thirty-five years later, he would be leading the University of Mississippi through one of its greatest challenges — its association with the Confederate flag. Robert Khayat’s The Education of a Lifetime reveals his childhood days in Moss Point, Mississippi; the state’s segregationist policies that prevented his SEC championship baseball team from playing in the College World Series; and the sadness of watching his father’s arrest. These seemingly disparate events worked to prepare him for his future battle with the vestiges of racial strife that continued to haunt Ole Miss’ culture when he was selected as the University’s fifteenth Chancellor. We relive, along with the author, the courting of eccentric donors; private conversations with presidents, governors, football coaches, and celebrities; and the struggle to find a balance between the South’s past and a promising future. In this funny, touching, and insightful memoir, readers get a behind-the-scenes look at how one man’s vision and dedication — along with a commitment to respecting the dignity of every individual — can change a culture.

Memoirs

"Carmody, renowned as a defensive wizard known to many as 'Big Nasty, ' was part of many of the most monumental football victories in Mississippi history." Rick Cleveland, from the introduction "On the surface, Jim Carmody was an 'old school' football coach who consistently put the toughest teams on the field. But he was also innovative, knew how to squeeze the absolute maximum out of each player, and was well-versed on just about any topic you wanted to discuss. His stamp on Mississippi athletics is undeniable." Billy Watkins, Clarion-Ledger features writer "Jim Carmody will always be remembered as the architect of what was known as the 'Nasty Bunch' defense at Southern Miss. A coach that was ahead of his time in the way his teams played and competed - and how he would prepare them - Carmody was the type of coach that you wanted to play for and the type of man that taught you how to be successful in life. His contributions to football in Mississippi can't be measured and will never be forgotten. What a great coach." John Cox, Voice of the Golden Eagles

This work offers glimpses of North Mississippi from the time the Chickasaws (led by powerful mixed-blood families) were forced by give up the last of their Mississippi lands and move west. We see settlers flocking to our homeland ( billed as cotton’s last empire), buying land, building, and establishing institutions. The 1850’s issued in a golden age of great prosperity. This ended with a destructive war. After the war, a culture reformed itself. Throughout the decades, a literary strain was developing. Under the influence of this peculiar history and the problems of race emerged a great genius and his creation–Yoknapatawpha.

It Takes A Campus takes readers on a journey of author Kyle Ellis' experience from a novice in retention efforts to a campus leader in the field of student retention. In 2008, when the University of Mississippi began to take action on their retention efforts, their first time, full-time (FTFT) retention rate was 78.3%. With their recent retention record-setting year (86.5%), they have received numerous accolades, praise, and inquiries from colleagues across the nation regarding their efforts that made such a tremendous impact. It Takes A Campus can serve as a guide for campus professionals who are in the early stages of their retention efforts, as well as for seasoned retention gurus, who are seeking to improve existing programs or identify specific initiatives that proved effective and adapt them to their own student population. This book, which covers fifteen campus-wide initiatives which have been successfully implemented at the University of Mississippi and which have been instrumental in raising retention rates, is designed to be practitioner-friendly, so higher education professionals who work daily with retention efforts, can create, modify, or assess retention initiatives on their campuses. As the saying goes, it takes a village to enact positive change – or in this case, a campus.
