From Nicki Reeder (now Nicki Villarrubia), Loyola University New Orleans College of Law graduate: "Working in the Capitol, I am reminded often of certain things I learned in your campaign politics/southern politics/political analysis classes. For example, the other day, I talked to someone who worked for Senator Cotton about Arkansas politics. I also stumbled upon a "Kinky for Governor" poster while at a Tex Mex restaurant. Just thought you'd like to know how useful your classes have been!"

From Michelle Barlow, Executive Assistant to Congressman Wicker: "Your classes and Dr. Wiseman's classes--with all the peculiar facts regarding Mississippi--are what taught me most of what I use here today. So thanks!! I never thought it would be important who ran in what race--but everything relates back to the past!"
