Gallery: Photos from Jeffrey Vitter’s three years at the University of Mississippi

Ole Miss Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter announced on Friday that he intends to resign from his position before the end of the 2018-2019 school year. Vitter will continue to serve as Chancellor through January 3, 2019, and will join faculty as a computer and information science professor after his resignation. After officially arriving on campus in Jan. 2016, Vitter has lead the university through a nearly three year period including an NCAA investigation, an official change of the university’s mascot and the implementation of contextualization efforts on campus. Browse our gallery for a view of what Vitter’s time on campus looked like.
