Elizabeth Harrington
Rachel McPherson Council Scholar

Being connected to Ole Miss is something that goes “hand in hand” to Elizabeth Harrington, 18, of Oxford. She said that growing up in Oxford and around Ole Miss made her college decision very easy.

“Early on I knew how impressive the university atmosphere was,” said Harrington whose parents both work at the university. “I knew I wanted to stay in Oxford for my undergraduate.”

Harrington was also very impressed with the members of the Women’s Council and hopes to continue their merits.

“It’s very important for me that women continue to distinguish themselves,” said Harrington. “I hope to leave my mark on the world and affect positive change on campus.”

She hopes to implement many new avenues to the Women’s Council like a recycling center and help expand upon the tutoring programs available at the university.

“The Women’s Council members are exact people I would like to familiarize myself with,” she says. “I want to continue the excellence of the council personally and for the university like these wonderful women have already begun.”
