Biography

Mr. Jones previously served as executive director of Upward Bound at Mississippi Valley State University for 13 years, which provided low-income, first-generation high school students from the Mississippi Delta with a strict academic curriculum, academic help and cultural activities to broaden their horizons toward higher education.

Jones is delighted and grateful to serve as the director of such an esteemed and established learning community that helps first-year students matriculate, build great character and feel right at home at the University of Mississippi.
