    BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Lloyd Hooper and Nancy Robinson, both of Meridian, have been accepted for British Studies at Oxford, a summer school conducted annually at St. John's College in Oxford. Each year the courses concentrate on a different period of British history and culture.
    This year's seminars will focus on 19th and 20th century Britain.
    Patricia Leanne Medlin and her brother, Michael Medlin have received academic recognition recently.
    Patricia Leanne Medlin was named to the President's List of Mississippi College for the spring semester. A student must maintain a 4.0 average while being enrolled in at least 12 semester hours to be eligible for the President's List.
    She also recently returned from London where she was one of 30 students chosen by Mississippi College to participate in the London Semester Program.
    Michael Medlin has been selected to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine in Atlanta from July 26-August 4.
    The forum is a career development program for high school students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential and an interest in medicine.
    The Medlins are the daughter and son of David and Patti Medlin of Brandon, formerly of Meridian, and the grandchildren of Jack and Nauvaree Medlin and Robert and Nita Pierce, all of Meridian.

    SCOOBA Roshaunda Evans of Meridian received her associate in applied science degree in funeral service technology last month.
    The degree is a prerequisite for licensure as an embalmer and funeral director in Mississippi.
    Evans is employed with Bishop's Enterprise Funeral Home in Meridian.
    Robbi Roberson has been named as a University of Southern Mississippi Academic Scholar Athlete Medalist for 2000-2001. She has also been given recognition by Conference USA for being listed on the commissioner's honor roll.
