A Letter from Our President

Hey everyone! I’m Clay Blanchard, hailing from Madison, MS. I’ve been a die-hard Ole Miss Rebels fan since I could crawl. This year, I’m thrilled to be starting my senior year and continuing my role as president of Women in Business for the second consecutive year. In addition to WiB, I’m an active member of Chi Omega Fraternity, Students for Sustainable Fashion, and I served on the Panhellenic Standards Board for the 2023-2024 term. Outside of academics, I manage social media for Rebel Body Fitness. You can usually find me with friends on the square or cheering on the Rebels at football, basketball, or baseball games. I can’t wait to see what this year holds for WiB and to build on our successes from last year. Looking forward to an amazing year ahead!
