  • Student Council President Tanner Williams and Ben Adams

    Ben Adams ’74 Recalls Life-Changing Lesson

    Chairman Emeritus of Baker Donelson Ben Adams ’74, pictured with Student Council President Tanner Williams ’22, spoke in chapel about a lesson learned while a junior at MUS when he was passed over for induction in the National Honor Society. Speaking to faculty mentors Mr. Jim Russell and Mr. Mike Deaderick afterward, he learned that his leadership style was too negative. The teachers encouraged him to use his influence for the good of the community. That experience was transformative for Adams, who went on to serve as Student Council president his senior year and to assume many leadership roles in his career, including as chair of the MUS Board of Trustees (1997-2004).
