Dr. Elliott, the presidential candidate from Meridian Community College, sent me an e-mail yesterday to express his thanks to the PJC faculty and staff who had made his visit to PJC so pleasant; in fact, he said that he and his wife "were treated like royalty."
In his email, Dr. Elliott addressed the concern that was raised about his commitment to PJC if he were selected given that his parents and daughter live in South Florida. He wanted to assure the faculty that he would be "absolutely committed" to PJC and the people it serves. As he stated in his BOT interview, Dr. Elliott considers PJC a premiere college and would be "darned lucky to have the opportunity to come to PJC."
He was on his way to Jackson to lobby for additional funding, but wanted to take the time to thank us for our hospitality and the high commitment the College demonstrated to meeting the mission of the institution.
