She Can Teach You a Thing or Two

Dr. Nancy Boyll, Alpha Omicron, spent sixteen years of her career serving in public education. But, in 1990, this University of Southern Mississippi graduate decided to become an entrepreneur, starting her own educational company. That company, New Learning Resources Inc., extended into New Summit School Services, an accredited, non-traditional K-12 school for students with exceptional learning needs. Nancy is reaching out to people through training, teaching and positive opportunities.

Her long-term career goal is to continue to serve people, especially children. Along with her volunteer work, this director of the Mississippi Community Education Center is fulfilling that goal. A Jackson, Miss. native, Nancy is focused on education, after-school programs, literacy, and abstinence and community programs.

Now that she has completed her doctoral degree, Nancy has even more free time to enjoy her hobbies. When she isn't traveling the state of Mississippi for business, Nancy may be found spending time with her husband and two grown sons. She also remains active in the Jackson Alumnae Chapter of Phi Mu.

As a former collegiate chapter president and chapter consultant, Nancy truly understands the impact that Phi Mu can have on young women. "As a young college student, I was searching for my own way," she says. "Phi Mu offered me many opportunities to grow as a leader. Those leadership skills continue to be invaluable to me." She encourages Phi Mu alumnae to continue to support Phi Mu Fraternity and Phi Mu Foundation by staying involved. "There are so many young Sisters who need our help. We need to be their inspiration," Nancy says.

There's no doubt that Nancy is just such an inspiration to all she meets.

Nancy Boyll, Alpha Omicron, treasures her Phi Mu collegiate memories. "There was always work to be done, and we seemed to get it done with lots of fun along the way," she shares. Today, Nancy's hard work ethic has enabled her to start her own educational school in Mississippi, where she resides.
