The Ole Miss Women’s Council welcomed a wide variety of speakers this fall to their monthly Red Plate Suppers for their scholars. In September, Jeff McManus, Director of Landscape Services, shared how leaders are developed from the bottom to the top. Linda Spargo, Special Projects Coordinator and Academic Advisor for the Chancellor’s Office, spoke on the importance of communication and identifying a personal brand at the October dinner. Scholars and their mentors were excited to welcome Ross Bjork, Ole Miss Athletic Director, to the November Thanksgiving dinner. Bjork spoke on situational leadership and the role core values should have in one’s life. The semester ended with a festive holiday gathering at the home of Mary and Sam Haskell.
