Thousands of Golden Eagles fans are en route to New Orleans to cheer the football team on in the New Orleans Bowl. It's rewarding to have watched them come back from a mid-season slump to this happy finish. Our players and coaches have a lot of heart, and heart makes all the difference.
Speaking of heart, we participated in an awards ceremony last night recognizing a successful Heartwalk. Southern Miss employees truly stepped up on that beautiful day in September to put us over the top and exceed all our goals. We had hoped for 500 walkers...we recruited 1200! We had hoped to raise $95,000...we raised $98,000. To all involved I offer my heartfelt J thanks.
