Dear Alumni and Friends,
It has been my privilege to serve as Chancellor for the past 14 years. During that time, our alumni and friends have joined with our faculty, staff, and students to transform the university into a vibrant, nationally-prominent public university.
Evidence of our work together is everywhere on our campuses. Your commitment to excellence for the university is a major reason that we have been successful in achieving the goals that we all established in 1995. Among those are the magnificent honors college, the Croft Institute, competitive athletic programs, amazing physical facilities, extraordinary scholarship support for our students, and the recruitment and retention of an outstanding faculty and staff. Our alumni, supporting our faculty, staff and students, have enabled the university to achieve the margin of excellence.
On June 30, I will leave the university with a deep sense of gratitude and respect for our alumni and friends, particularly after my hiring and unwaivering support of Ed Orgeron. The progress we have made over the past 14 years would not have been possible without your commitment to our beloved Ole Miss. I will cherish our friendships and look forward to continuing to be part of the Ole Miss family.
Warmest regards,
Robert C. Khayat
Chancellor
