I’m Walker Agnew, the Regional Admissions Counselor for the state of Texas and Webster, Clay, Choctaw, Oktibbeha, Lowndes, Winston, and Noxubee County in Mississippi.  I am a 2009 graduate of The University of Mississippi with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management with an emphasis in Human Resources.  During my four-year tenure at Ole Miss, I was Associated Student Body Chief of Staff, Associated Student Body Senator of the Year, an officer in my fraternity, Chancellor’s Leadership Class member and served twice as an Orientation Leader.  I am an Eagle Scout and spent summers as a counselor at Camp Ozark, earning Male Counselor of the Year in 2008.  I am originally from Houston, TX and currently reside in Oxford, MS.  I joined the Ole Miss recruiting team in 2009.

I chose Ole Miss because of its great business school, to be close to family, to do something different than other graduates in my high school, and because of my familiarity with Ole Miss.  My favorite thing about Ole Miss is the relationship building between friends, professors, staff members, and other students.

Fun Facts:
Pets:  Cocker Spaniel/Border Collie mix named Duke is my family's pet in Houston, TX.
Secret indulgence/guilty pleasure(s):  News—I am an absolute news junkie.
Favorite Food(s):  Steak, any kind of shellfish, salmon, and brownies
If I had to eat dinner with one person who would it be and why?  Jeff Bagwell, former first baseman for the Houston Astros baseball team—he’s my favorite athlete of all time.
If I were trapped on an island with one person who would it be and why?  Bear Grylls from the Discovery Channel’s Man vs. Wild, because I’d have a pretty good chance of getting off the island and being able to get back to Oxford, MS!
Favorite place you have traveled to:  New York City or Washington D.C.—it’s a toss up.
Favorite Book(s):  Rocket Boys by Homer Hickam, Dixieland Delight by Clay Travis, The Blind Side by Michael Lewis, Friday Night Lights by H. G. Bissinger, & Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
