Alcorn hosts Natchez Day, local students Alcorn bound  

April 24, 2012, was an unusually exciting day in Natchez!  It was Alcorn Day! One of the highlights of the day was the visit by Alcorn President Dr. M. Christopher Brown II to Natchez High School.  President Brown and others were welcomed by Natchez High Principal Cleveland Moore, Assistant Principal Roberta Phipps, and other school staff.

During the visit, students heard all about Alcorn from Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Admissions, Financial Aid, the Office of Diversity and Equity Engagement and the ASU Student Ambassadors.  In his remarks to the group, President Brown encouraged the students to continue their education and to definitely consider Alcorn State University as their choice for higher education. 

A group of Natchez High School students are already “Alcorn Bound” and have been accepted to ASU for the upcoming summer or fall semester.  These students are pictured with Dr. Brown, Dr. Samuel White, Provost, and other Alcorn leaders. 

From Natchez High, the group traveled to the Natchez campus of Copiah-Lincoln Community College and was welcomed by Vice President Teresa Busby.  President Brown and ASU staff are seen here with those Co-Lin students who are “Alcorn Bound”.
