James Corner<\/p><\/div>\n

James Corner, assistant director of undergraduate admissions, has been selected as Staff Council’s Staff Member of the Month for May. To help us get to know him better, he answered a few questions for Inside Ole Miss.<\/p>\n

IOM: How long have you worked at Ole Miss?<\/p>\n

Corner: 13 years.<\/p>\n

IOM: What is your hometown?<\/p>\n

Corner: Batesville, Mississippi, the home of the 10-time state champion South Panola Tigers.<\/p>\n

IOM: Talk about your favorite Ole Miss memory. <\/p>\n

Corner: In 2014, I was assisting with the Bachelor of General Studies Commencement ceremony and the speaker announced that I was leaving the department and all of the graduating class gave me a standing ovation. This was something I did not expect and it left a lasting impression on me.<\/p>\n

IOM: What do you enjoy most about your position or the department in which you work?<\/p>\n

Corner: What I enjoy most about my position is that I get the opportunity every day to change lives and make dreams happen, by helping students get into college.<\/p>\n

IOM: What do you like to do when you are not at work?<\/p>\n

Corner: I like to spend time with my family and friends, as well as working out from time to time.<\/p>\n

IOM: What is one thing on your bucket list?<\/p>\n

Corner: I would like to visit Hawaii.<\/p>\n

IOM: What is your favorite movie?<\/p>\n

Corner: Either “The Water Boy” or “Forrest Gump.”<\/p>\n

IOM: What is your favorite Ole Miss tradition?<\/p>\n

Corner: Seeing the Ole Miss football team walking through the Grove down the Walk of Champions. It is symbolic because it’s like they are walking into a battle, and the fans are cheering them on to victory.<\/p>\n

IOM: What is a fun fact about you?<\/p>\n

Corner: I am a really funny person once you get to know me.<\/p>\n

IOM: If you could have lunch with anyone alive or dead\/fictional or real, who would it be and why?<\/p>\n

Corner: Martin Luther King Jr., because, if it was not for great men like him, who made sacrifices for what was right, I would not be where I am at today in life.<\/p>\n

IOM: What are three words you would use to describe yourself?<\/p>\n

Corner: Quiet, humble and easygoing.<\/p>\n

IOM: If you could visit one time or place in world history (past, present, or future), what would it be?<\/p>\n

Corner: I would love to visit the future, because I would like to if we are ever going to have flying cars.<\/p>\n

IOM: If you could be an animal for a day, you would be ____. <\/p>\n

Corner: I would be a lion.<\/p>\n
