Creed Week
Not that many students really know what the Creed is. You may here the Creed one time
at your freshman orientation on the screen actually in here at Fulton Chapel, so you
may see the Creed one time and then that's it. So we wanted to bring ah attention to
the Creed, ah give students the opportunity to read the Creed and to know what it means.
So that's why we ah wanted to really have this week dedicated to the Creed.
Ole Miss is synonymous with leadership and we not only produce leaders we have leaders
here at the University. I'm really proud of Gregory Alston and his leadership team, his
cabinet uh for ASB for leading the whole University on this week focused on the Creed.
It's really humbling; uh hopefully as the Creed says I can encourage others to follow
my example. So hopefully I can do so even more so now. You know I would have to say
I respect academic honesty is one of my um, one that really um resonates with me uh profoundly
uh it's something about doing original research or doing original work and always putting
your best foot forward as far as your academics. I mean there's so many things that can happen
with life but taking your academics seriously so academic honesty is the one that really
resonates with me.
I think it's great that we can kind of encourage students to kind of think about the Creed
and live the Creed while they're here but more importantly how that integrate that into
their professional life and their personal life and how they take that forward into the
communities in which they live and serve and you know and spread it beyond you know beyond
Oxford beyond Mississippi um and really make a bigger impact with it. I think that it's
really about modeling the way. I think it's about you know showing folks how you can be
respectful, how you can live with integrity, how you can steward your resources in a, a
responsible manner. And so I think that's what's the important lesson here is that we're
not just teaching them something they will use in college but something that's a lifelong
experience.
