Non-Fiction Memoir
The Education of a Lifetime is a compelling memoir by former
Ole Miss Chancellor Robert Khayat. Khayat writes about his
childhood days in Moss Point, Mississippi, the state s
segregationist policies that prevented his SEC championship
baseball team from playing in the College World Series, and
the sadness of experiencing his father s arrest and guilty
plea. These seemingly disparate events worked to prepare him
to battle the vestiges of racial strife that continued to
haunt the university s culture as he accepted the honor of
becoming the university s 15th chancellor. Khayat s story
gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at how a university
moved from mediocrity to excellence. We relive, along with
Khayat, the courting of an eccentric donor, as well as
private conversations with a sitting U.S. President,
governors, coaches and celebrities. We also see how a man
worked to make amends for past mistakes. The Education of a
Lifetime is a funny, touching and insightful memoir. And it
is proof that one man a man dedicated to respecting the
dignity of every individual can make lasting change.
