CAMPUS HIGHLIGHTS

ON CAMPUS COVID

Ahead of the Fall 2020 semester, Northwest announced a host of changes for the school year aimed at protecting the health and safety of students and employees. Along with adopting a hybrid instructional model, the college also distributed hand sanitizing stations across campus, required masks to be worn in all campus buildings and adopted a daily health check-in system. Additionally, the fall semester came to an early close before Thanksgiving to avoid much of flu season. Despite the changes, the Northwest community came together, forged ahead and completed another successful year!

FALL2020

Heindl honored with Paragon Award

This spring, the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK) named Northwest Mississippi Community College President, Dr. Michael Heindl as a recipient of the Paragon Award for New Presidents.

More than 500 college presidents nationwide were eligible for the award, with PTK selecting only 22 to receive the honor. The Paragon Award is given to new college presidents who have shown strong support of student success by recognizing academic achievement, leadership and service among high-achieving students at their college. Recipients were nominated for the award by the students on their campus.

“As a former PTK member years ago when I was a community college student, I could not have dreamed that one day I would be receiving this honor as a community college president,” Heindl said. “Phi Theta Kappa does a tremendous job of serving some of the best and brightest students nationally and internationally, and I am deeply appreciative of being able to receive this honor in support of student success at Northwest.”

Presidents receiving the 2021 award were especially celebrated for the honor due to the particularly challenging year college leaders have navigated that included racial and political unrest and a global pandemic.

PTK recognized this year’s 22 honorees during PTK Catalyst 2021, the Society’s annual convention, broadcast live from Orlando, Fla., April 8-10.

Phi Theta Kappa recognizes the academic achievements of students at associate degree-granting colleges and helps them to grow as scholars and leaders. The Society is made up of more than 3.5 million members and nearly 1,300 chapters in 11 nations, with approximately 240,000 active members in the nation’s colleges.

Jones, Wiley complete Leadership Academy training

In the spring semester, Dr. Parker Jones, assistant dean at the DeSoto Center, and Dr. Carolyn Wiley, associate vice president of Academic Instruction and Institutional Effectiveness, both completed a year-long training with the Mississippi Community College Leadership Academy (MCCLA). The MCCLA is conducted by the Mississippi Community College Foundation in partnership with Mississippi State University. Throughout the training, participants work on projects and engage in sessions with community college presidents concerning current leadership issues, among other requirements.

Northwest among first cohort in Achieving the Dream initiative

In February, Northwest was proud to be announced as being among the first cohort of seven colleges nationwide in Achieving the Dream’s (ATD) new Building Resiliency in Rural Communities for the Future of Work initiative.

The initiative aims to increase equitable student success by strengthening rural colleges’ capacity to prepare students for careers in today’s economy. The initiative is funded by the Cognizant U.S. Foundation, JPMorgan Chase & Co., The Community Focus Fund at the Chicago Community Foundation, Walmart.org, and Ascendium Education Group.

“Rural community colleges have long served as drivers of their communities’ economic and civic vitality, playing a critical role in ensuring social and economic mobility,” said ATD president and CEO Dr. Karen A. Stout. “As Achieving the Dream works to support our colleges in fostering diverse and equitable campuses, we are mindful of the importance of building a network that reflects the diversity of institutions across our country. This initiative adds to ATD’s experience working with other rural colleges in our network as well as the nation’s tribal colleges and universities, offering new learning opportunities around the role of rural community colleges as workforce and economic development engines.”

Building Resiliency in Rural Communities for the Future of Work will increase rural colleges’ capacity to succeed with wholecollege reform efforts, provide students with the workforce skills needed in today and tomorrow’s economy, and connect students with careers in the digital economy that pay family-sustaining wages. In addition, participating institutions’ reform efforts will include providing academic and personal supports and narrowing equity gaps.

“We at Northwest Mississippi Community College are honored to be joining this first Building Resiliency in Rural Communities for the Future of Work cohort,” said Northwest President, Dr. Michael J. Heindl. “We know that the vision of Northwest, ‘Transforming students’ lives, enriching our communities and striving for excellence in our educational programs and services,’ fits perfectly with Achieving the Dream goals of increasing capacity with whole-college reform efforts. These efforts include skills for students that are needed for today’s and tomorrow’s workforce and the opportunity to connect more students with careers in the digital economy that will pay family-sustaining wages.”

The other six colleges that have joined this initial cohort, and the ATD Network, include:

• Berkshire Community College – Pittsfield, MA

• Clovis Community College – Clovis, NM

• Columbia-Greene Community College – Hudson, NY

• Halifax Community College – Weldon, NC

• Louisiana State University-Eunice – Eunice, LA

• Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College –Cumberland, KY

“Achieving the Dream is thrilled to work with these colleges to build a deeper understanding across higher education — and among policy and funding communities for how rural colleges and their partners can promote the economic mobility of

students, particularly as part of our equity work,” said Dr. Monica Parrish Trent, ATD’s Vice President for Network Engagement. Funders of this important initiative are also looking forward to supporting these colleges as they begin their work.

“As we work to ensure equitable access to the education and training necessary to succeed in jobs driving the future, community colleges are key to reaching people in rural areas,” said Kristen Titus, Executive Director, Cognizant U.S. Foundation. “We are proud to support ATD and this initiative as colleges build the capacity to fulfill a critical role in our country’s economic recovery and in providing everyone with opportunities for economic mobility.”

“Equitable access to skills and real-world work experience is key to connecting students to good jobs, regardless of their ZIP code,” said Monique Baptiste, Vice President of Global Philanthropy, JPMorgan Chase. “As part of JPMorgan Chase’s efforts to advance racial equity and prepare people for the future of work, we’re committed to driving an inclusive economic recovery, including strengthening community college programs and connecting students to the skills needed to succeed in today’s workforce.”

“Rural community colleges are well equipped to provide upskilling opportunities for the rapidly changing workforce in their areas,” said Julie Gehrki, vice president of philanthropy for Walmart.org. “Walmart’s investment will enable Achieving the Dream to accelerate their work with these colleges, and we’re thrilled to support their effort.”

“We recognize that rural community colleges are anchors in their communities, providing opportunities for learners, employers and the local economy,” said Amy Kerwin, vice president –education philanthropy at Ascendium Education Group. “We’re pleased to support this cohort as they exchange ideas on how to initiate large-scale institutional change to prepare and increase the number of rural learners from low-income backgrounds that graduate and enter the workforce.”

In January, members of the cohort participated in a Learning Launch Kickoff Institute to onboard to the program and to ATD. On Tuesday, Feb. 16, the cohort was featured virtually at a Spotlight Session as part of DREAM 2021. Additionally, there will be a Rural Convening this summer, as well as ongoing coaching and capacity building for the colleges through ATD.

Achieving the Dream (ATD) leads a growing network of more than 300 community colleges committed to helping their students, particularly low-income students and students of color, achieve their goals for academic success, personal growth, and economic opportunity. ATD is making progress in closing equity gaps and accelerating student success through a unique change process that builds each college’s institutional capacities in seven essential areas. ATD, along with nearly 75 experienced coaches and advisors, works closely with Network colleges in 45 states and the District of Columbia to reach more than 4 million community college students.

How the ‘West won.’

After five years of waiting, the championship drought finally came to an end for Northwest football in December 2020.

With a 40-13 victory at Mississippi Gulf Coast, the Rangers brought home, not one, but two trophies for winning MACCC and National Community College Football Championship titles, granting Northwest its fourth national championship and its 10th conference title. The Rangers also snapped the Bulldogs' 21-game winning streak that dated back to the 2018 season.

"It feels great," Northwest coach Benjy Parker said. "Everybody in our league had ups and downs with COVID-19, but our entire conference deserves a pat on the back for battling and making it through the season. I'm just proud of our team for getting this win."

After the game, the Rangers were presented with another MACCC Coach of the Year award for Parker and the MACCC Championship trophy. Also, in a move that was announced just days before the contest, Northwest was also awarded with the National Community College Football Championship trophy, which will go down as a national title for the fall season.

Both honors are the first for Parker since taking over as head coach in 2016. Parker previously helped Northwest to a national championship in 2015 as the Rangers' defensive coordinator.

Northwest concluded the 2020 season at 6-0 overall, marking the program's first undefeated season since 2000 (10-0) and only the fourth all-time.

Northwest cheer earns two championships at College Nationals

After a near 20-year absence, Northwest Mississippi Community College's cheerleading program made a triumphant return to the UCA and UDA College Nationals this week, earning a pair of national championships.

Under the direction of second-year coach Brandon Casey, Northwest competed in two categories, Game Day Cheer & Mascot and Open Cheer. In the Open Co-Ed Game Day division of the cheer and mascot category, Northwest earned a performance score of 94.9 in the semifinals and a 95.6 in the championship finals, finishing above Drury University and a pair of Division I programs, Northwestern State and Grand Canyon University.

In the Open Cheer category, Northwest rallied from a third-place finish in the Open Small Co-Ed semifinals to earn an 86.5 performance score in the finals, finishing ahead of Trine University and Coastal Alabama Community College.

"This was such an amazing opportunity for us," Casey said. "We are beyond blessed to have such a great support system from the college. Our athletes worked so hard all year long cheering on the Rangers and getting to represent Northwest by earning a pair of championships on the national stage is a huge honor."

Health Sciences hosts CARES show and tell

In February, the School of Health Sciences held an impressive “show and tell” event to demonstrate how the school has benefited from CARES Act funding.

Through $1,599,743 in funding provided through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the School of Health Sciences was able to purchase equipment that is elevating students’ skills training experiences.

“It has impacted our programs across all of our 11 districts,” said Dr. Stephanie Mullins, dean of the School of Health Sciences. “This money has opened up opportunities for our students to learn in so many new ways, and provided more of that hands-on training that is so desperately needed in health care facilities.”

According to Mullins, much of the equipment is typically found at four-year universities, but not typically available to community colleges.

“It has gotten students excited about health care, and faculty so excited about teaching,” Mullins said.

Some of the equipment that faculty and students are most excited about includes simulation mannequins, a 3-D, touchscreen imaging table and electronic medical records.

“The mannequins are awesome in the way that when clinical sites shut down and we weren’t able to get our students into some of these facilities, the simulation mannequins provided our students with these hands-on opportunities,” Mullins said. “We have a birthing mannequin, and we can practice prenatal care, labor and delivery and even a baby-after-birth simulation.”

The 3-D anatomy table is not only being utilized by students in the School of Health Sciences, but is also available to all science programs. Additionally, with the days of paper patient charts behind us, students are using newly purchased electronic medical records to get students into the practice before they actually begin their careers.

With the 2020-2021 schoolyear looking a little different due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mullins said she wondered at the start whether students would be nervous to enter health care. However, she said students are more excited than ever to serve others.

“Our motto at the School of Health Sciences is that you serve one to serve all,” she said. “As faculty, we serve one student, and that student is going to serve a patient. We’re going to multiply across the state, and hopefully have a real impact on health care in the state of Mississippi in helping to improve patient care.”

Building toward the future

In the 2020-2021 school year, Northwest was excited to see physical growth across our campuses, with the addition of a number of new facilities that have either been completed or are currently under construction.

Those facilities include: Calhoun Hall, a 45,000-square-foot, two-story residence hall opening for occupancy in the Fall 2021 semester; the Northwest Health and Wellness Clinic, the college’s first on-campus health clinic, which opened in the fall of 2020; an additional fitness center on the main campus, outfitted with equipment purchased with a grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield; a new 1,200-seat Performing Arts Center, under construction now; the Softball and Soccer Complex, slated to be finished by the spring of 2022; Panola Concourse, a workforce training center in Batesville that will house the college’s Diesel Technology program, among others; and Everest, the education and technology hub located in Water Valley that will house Base Camp Coding Academy and Northwest classrooms and office spaces.

Phi Theta Kappa Academic Team

This spring, Northwest was excited to announce that four students have been named to the 2021 Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) AllMississippi Community College Academic Team.

Abigail Brown of Olive Branch, Anmol Malhotra of Batesville, Hannah Holmes of Horn Lake, and Nicholas Gibson of Hernando were all named to the team. Malhotra was named to the First Team, and Brown, Holmes and Gibson were all named Second Team honorees.

According to Kristin Watson, a Northwest PTK advisor, AllMississippi Team honorees are selected through a Northwest campus committee and a PTK national committee. The AllMississippi teams are recognized as some of the most outstanding PTK students, and each recipient is awarded a scholarship to pursue their educational goals.

“These students work hard in their academic pursuits, and this allows them an opportunity to be recognized for all their contributions

in not only academics, but also the community,” Watson said. “We commend these students on being selected through a rigorous application process through Northwest and the national PTK organization.”

Brown, a Psychology student, and Malhotra, a Pharmacy student, attend classes at the main campus. Holmes, a Business student, and Gibson, a Biology student, attend classes at the DeSoto campus.

Malhotra also received the Walgreens Pharmacy Technician Certification Scholarship, which is awarded to only 30 students nationwide and will cover the cost of the Pharmacy Technician Certification exam fee.

PTK is an international scholastic and leadership honor society for two-year colleges. The All-Mississippi Academic Team program is coordinated by PTK, the Mississippi Association of Community Colleges and the Mississippi Community College Board.

Students graduating in Northwest’s fall and spring ceremonies made the most of the non-traditional celebration, taking part in the Drive-Thru Commencement events with style.

Graduates donned fun accessories in addition to their regalia, arrived in vehicles decked out for the occasion and proudly received recognition for their achievements with family and friends in tow, cheering them on. In spite of the unusual school year caused by the pandemic, we are so proud of the way in which our students have embraced change and adapted to the challenges at hand. We cannot wait to see all that these students accomplish going forward. Go Rangers!
