She previously served as rector of St. George’s Episcopal Church in Germantown, Tenn., and holds a notable history of church service along with academic credentials.

SUMMARY: Chris Beard, Ole Miss basketball head coach, recently turned down a lucrative offer from Texas A&M after the Aggies sought him as their next leader.

Carter’s proven ability to retain talent, along with fan and institutional backing, helped Ole Miss secure Beard’s commitment. Under Beard, the Rebels are expected to field one of their best rosters in history next season, building on a strong 44-24 record and advancing to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

With no budget finalized, Governor Tate Reeves must call a special session to ensure funding by June 30, or face government shutdowns affecting over 100,000 employees. Special sessions incur substantial taxpayer costs, exceeding $100,000 per day.
