\n\t\"Untitled-3\"<\/a> Q: How many years have you worked for JSU\/FCM?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA: <\/strong>I have been with Facilities and Construction Management for 22 years.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tQ: What is your fondest memory during your time at JSU?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA: <\/strong>My best memories are always after I’ve been given a work task and I gave it my best. When my job is complete, I evaluate myself and then when I gaze at the  final result, it makes me feel great to know that I am able to contribute to the university with my skill and talent.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tQ: How do you plan on spending your retirement?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA: <\/strong>I plan on dedicating my time to my ministry. I am a pastor in the city of Vicksburg at the Jubilee Church of God in Christ. I hope to do more outreach in the community. During my leisure time, may do some craftsmanship and carpentry work. I’ll definitely do some fishing, and I plan to spend more time with family.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tQ: What legacy do you hope to leave on the people you have encountered at JSU?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA: <\/strong>When I take interest in something I always give it my best. I want people to see that when a man gives his best, it pays off! I want to be known as one of the best craftsmen that ever came through JSU and I hope my work speaks for me.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Mr.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tQ: What do you hope to see in the future at JSU?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA: <\/strong>I hope to see JSU become one of the top, if not the best university; not just in Mississippi, but in the world.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tQ: As you reflect on your time at JSU, what would you consider the greatest lesson you have learned?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA: <\/strong>I have learned how to work with others, both with the administration and my co-workers. My desire is that JSU is that family they profess to be; that we will really be one JSU not just in words, but in love and deeds.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA retirement party was held for Mr. Ross on Friday, February 12th. View the photo gallery below.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
