The latest interview in the Ole Miss Retirees features Calvin Sellers, former University Police Chief. The organization’s mission is to enable all of the university’s faculty and staff retirees to maintain and promote a close association with the university. It is the goal of the Ole Miss Faculty/Staff Retirees Association to maintain communication by providing opportunities to attend and participate in events and presentations.
Chief Sellers thought he wanted to be an astronaut when he was a little boy, then perhaps a basketball coach before finding his true calling in law enforcement. He is well respected and has a great story to share.
OXFORD â When Curtis Wilkie left Mississippi for the East Coast in 1969, he did it with a promise that he would never return. Half a century later, the University of Mississippi journalism professor is putting a period on his career in the same place where it began: Oxford.

Yet through a career that led him from the Mississippi Delta to the White House, Wilkie never failed to seek out the humanity in each of his sources.
