Dear MAC Colleagues,

It is my privilege to invite you to our district for the Mississippi Association of Colleges and Universities annual conference this year. I am honored to serve as MAC president, and all of us at Itawamba Community College are looking forward to hosting the 2022 meeting in early October.

This exciting conference, hosted in the birth city of Elvis Presley, will include networking opportunities, visits to The Birthplace, keynotes from outstanding presenters and will shine "A Spotlight on Mississippi's Path in a New Era of Higher Education." I believe strongly that by working together we can solve many of the challenges our state faces, as well as take advantage of the many opportunities that come our way. Of course, that’s what the members of the Mississippi Association of Colleges and Universities have been doing since MAC’s founding in 1921.

Again, I hope you can join us in Downtown Tupelo as ICC hosts what is sure to be a showstopping MAC annual conference.

Sincerely,

Jay Allen, Ph.D.
2021-2022 MAC President

President, Itawamba Community College
