ACADEMIC REGALIA
The Mace
The Northwest Mississippi Community College mace stands as a symbol of educational leadership. The origins of the mace can be traced to medieval times when knights carried them as weapons during processions with their kings. As the tradition grew, the mace became a symbol of authority and was often decorated with elaborate embellishments and gems. Today, a college mace represents the authority invested in the president by a school’s governing body. The mace is used only on formal occasions, including commencement exercises and presidential inaugurations, when participants are often in full regalia and the president is in attendance.
The Northwest mace, crafted by minting company Medalcraft Mint, Inc., is the first in the College’s history. The mace was designed by a committee composed of Julie Bauer, former director of Communications; Sybil Canon, former associate vice president for Development and Special Projects; Jennifer Corbin, graphic designer; and Dan Smith, former Chief of Staff and vice president for Student Services.
Carved from natural walnut and accented with brass, the mace stands 42 inches tall. Topping the mace is the Northwest Mississippi Community College seal, sculpted in brass with an antiqued finish and a walnut surround. The seal depicts the name and initials of the College, an outline of the State of Mississippi, and carries the year of the College’s founding, 1927. The seal and surround sit atop a brass platform that reads “Northwest Mississippi Community College.” Below the platform is a brass banner commemorating Tate County Agricultural High School, first organized in 1915 and the parent institution of Northwest. On the staff of the mace are eleven smaller brass banners further commemorating the sponsoring counties of Northwest—Benton, Calhoun, DeSoto, Lafayette, Marshall, Panola, Quitman, Tallahatchie, Tate, Tunica, and Yalobusha. At the bottom of the mace is a 7.25” brass foot.
The base of natural walnut was crafted by Stanley Isom, a member of the College’s Physical Plant staff. The front of the base features an antique brass College seal to match the mace.
The Chain of Office
The chain of office, which is worn by the president on ceremonial occasions, is the visible symbol of the office and authority of the president of the College. The current chain of office was commissioned by the College’s eighth president, Dr. Gary Lee Spears, and was first used at the 2006 commencement ceremonies. The chain of office consists of an ornamental chain bearing brass banners upon which are inscribed the names and years of service of the presidents of Northwest.
The chain terminates in a banner inscribed with the title of the office—“President”—from which hangs the seal of Northwest Mississippi Community College in brass.
The Gonfalons
The College’s gonfalons are a set of pageantry banners used during formal ceremonies to represent the institution and campus locations. Included in the set are four 3-by-5-foot fishtail-style gonfalons, each one featuring the logo of the Senatobia campus, DeSoto Center, Lafayette-Yalobusha Technical Center, and eLearning on a field of blue with a red stripe in the College’s official colors. The institution as a whole is represented by a 4-by-6-foot fishtail-style gonfalon featuring the College name and seal in the College’s official colors on a blue field with a red stripe. The smaller gonfalons are used in the Processional, while the larger gonfalon remains stationary on the stage.
COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
The Honorable Lynn Fitch
Attorney General, State of Mississippi
Lynn Fitch was sworn in as Mississippi’s 40th attorney general and first-ever female attorney general on Jan. 9, 2020. She was reelected to her second term in 2023.
Raised in Holly Springs, Attorney General Fitch earned both a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Juris Doctorate at the University of Mississippi. At the age of 23, she began her legal career as a special assistant attorney general at the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office. She continued her career in private practice as a bond lawyer, accumulating more than 35 years of legal experience both in private practice and public service.
Before becoming the state’s chief legal officer, Attorney General Fitch served as Mississippi’s elected state treasurer for eight years, from January 2012 to January 2020. Prior to that, she was selected by Gov. Haley Barbour to serve as executive director of the Mississippi State Personnel Board (MSPB), and she served as deputy executive director at the Mississippi Department of Employment Security (MDES) and as counsel for the Mississippi House of Representatives Ways and Means and Local and Private Legislation Committees.
Attorney General Fitch was active on the national level as state treasurer, serving as vice president for the National Association of State Treasurers and as chair of the State Financial Officers Foundation. Since taking office as attorney general, she has served on the Executive Committees of the Republican Attorneys General Association and the National Association of Attorneys General, and as co-chair of the National Association of Attorneys General Human Trafficking Committee.
In 2022, Time magazine named Attorney General Fitch to its list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, and Worth magazine named her to its Worthy 100 for her work protecting women and children. She was recognized as one of Mississippi’s Top 50 Most Influential in 2017, 2022, and 2023; selected as Outstanding Woman Lawyer of 2012 and a Woman Trailblazer by the Mississippi Bar Association; and honored with the prestigious Susie Blue Buchanan award by the Mississippi Bar Association’s Women in the Profession Committee. Fitch was also named a Mississippi Business Journal Leader in Finance in 2016 and Leader in Law in 2010, as well as a 2015 Honoree of the Women in Government Leadership Program by Governing magazine. Attorney General Fitch has also been active in her community, serving as a member of the boards of several charitable organizations including First Responders of Mississippi, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Goodwill Industries, and the American Red Cross.
