Thank You Virginia Shanteau Newton
Permalink Closed

During the recent past Mrs. Newton, a member of the IHL Board, has been a champion in her efforts in support of the University of Southern Mississippi. Now her term is coming to an end in May. In recent years no member of the IHL has been a stronger advocate of what is best for USM. She is reputed to have been the only IHL member with the prescience, integrity, and courage to vote no on the final ballot appointing Shelby Thames as president. The USM faculty, staff, and students are indebted to Mrs. Newton for her untiring efforts on our behalf. At times it must have been a lonely mission.
