Mississippi Humanities Council honors ֱ’s Tim Morris as Teacher of the Year

ELLISVILLE – Mississippi Humanities Council Assistant Director, Carol Andersen presented ֱ English instructor, Tim Morris with a check for being selected as the ֱ 2022-2023 Mississippi Humanities Teacher of the Year. He will be honored by the Mississippi Humanities Council in Jackson, on March 24, 2023.

“I am very honored to be selected as Humanities Teacher of the Year for Jones, and I enjoyed sharing my passion for The Epic of Gilgamesh, to the ֱ community and family recently,” said Morris, a JC English and World Literature instructor. “The plot intrigues me because as the term ‘epic’ suggests, it is a huge story filled with exciting adventures, but at its core is a man who learns to appreciate his own humanity.”

After his presentation, Morris was presented with an acrylic award to commemorate the honor by ֱ’s Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Tessa Flowers and ֱ President, Dr. Jesse Smith.
