For over 60 years, The University of Mississippi School of Nursing has been providing the nursing community with excellent, well-prepared nurses. The first school in the state to offer the bachelor's degree in nursing, the School of Nursing is located on the state's only academic health science campus. The School of Nursing offers bachelor's, master's and doctoral nursing programs. UMMC is comprised of four specialized hospitals, including the state's only children's hospital; a women's and infant's hospital; an adult hospital; and a critical care hospital. These hospitals serve every population in Mississippi, and because these hospitals are located on the same campus as the School of Nursing, students participate in truly unique clinical learning experiences. UMMC also has the state's only Level 1 Trauma Center, Level 3 neonatal intensive care nursery and organ transplant program, meaning that our students have the opportunity to obtain the experiences required in the field and population of their choice.

The primary philosophy of the Jimmy Smith Foundation is that youth have an enormous opportunity to learn from the lessons and experiences that led Jimmy to tremendous success on and off the field. This is accomplished through sports and educational programs sponsored by the Foundation, and in partnership with community organizations, local churches, schools, and sports leagues. The secrets to success lie not only within nutrition and exercise disciplines, but also within personal development practices. In addition to athletic skill building, the Foundation focuses on three key areas that are considered crucial in personal development for athletes and youth: Diet and Nutrition, Physical Fitness, and Life Skills.

CACM strongly believes that the combined professional knowldege and skill of the multidisciplinary team approach results in a more complete understanding of case issues and the most effective child and family focused system response possible. Last year, CACM provided training to approximately 150 professionals, including social workers, law enforcement, physicians, prosecutors, and forensic interviewers. More importantly, by improving the skills of these 150 professionals working in the field of child abuse, CACM has had the potential to impact the lives of nearly 20,000 children. A children’s advocacy center is a child-focused, facility-based program in which representatives from many disciplines, including law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, mental and/or medical health, victim advocacy and child advocacy, work together to conduct interviews and make team decisions about investigation, treatment, management and prosecution of child abuse cases. In 2010, CACM member child advocacy centers provided direct services to 3,285 child abuse victims. A National Perspective: One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before the age of eighteen. The National Children's Alliance (NCA) and the Children's Advocacy Center programs are fundamentally changing the way America handles cases of child sexual abuse. NCA is the national accrediting body for over 700 Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) who in turn provide a community-based response for hope and healing to victims of severe child abuse. CACs are located in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Children's Advocacy Centers of Mississippi (CACM) is proud to be able to support CACs and other professionals working to put an end to child abuse in Mississippi.

The Sun King 5K Walk/Run and 1 Mile Fun Run was created in memory of Jacksonian Ernest Davidson whose life was tragically ended in July 1999. Because Ernest was an avid runner and tri-athlete, family and close friends could think of no better tribute than to organize a race in his memory. It was the hope of organizers that individuals and families will participate in the Sun King 5K in memory of someone they wish to remember and honor in this way. As in the past several years, funds raised form the Sun King 5K will benefit the Metro Jackson Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Visit www.sunking5k.com to register and for additional information.
