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.

PRACTICAL NURSING PLEDGE

Before God and those assembled here, I solemnly pledge:

To adhere to the code of ethics of the nursing profession.

To cooperate faithfully with the other members of the nursing team and to carry out faithfully and to the best of my ability the instructions of the physician or nurse who may be assigned to supervise my work. I will not do anything evil or malicious and I will not knowingly give any harmful drug or assist in malpractice.

I will not reveal any confidential information that may come to my knowledge in the course of my work. And I pledge myself to do all in my power to raise the standards and the prestige of practical nursing. May my life be devoted to service, and to the highest ideals of the nursing profession.

PARAMEDIC OATH

As an Emergency Care Practitioner I will honor the physical and judicial laws of God and man. I will follow that regimen which, according to my ability and

judgement, I consider for the benefit of patients and abstain from whatever is mischievous.

Into whatever homes I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of only the sick and injured, never revealing what I see or hear in the lives of men unless required by law.

I shall also share my medical knowledge with those who may benefit from what I have learned. I will serve unselfishly and continuously in order to help make a better world for all mankind.

So help me God.

SURGICAL TECHNOLOGIST’S PLEDGE

As a Surgical Technologist, I shall do all within my power to maintain the highest standards of professional conduct and patient care, to hold in confidence, with respect to the patient’s beliefs, all personal matters. I will respect and protect the patient’s legal and moral rights to quality patient care. I will not knowingly cause injury or any injustice to those entrusted to our care.

I will work with fellow technologists and other professional health groups to promote harmony and unity for better patient care. I will always follow the principles of asepsis, maintain a high degree of efficiency

10

through continuing education, and practice surgical technology willingly, with pride and dignity. I will report any unethical conduct or practice to the proper authority, and adhere to the Code of Ethics at all times with all members of the health care team.

CARDIOVASCULAR TECHNOLOGY OATH

As a Cardiovascular Technologist, I will place the safety, health and protection of the patient above all other interests.

I will demonstrate and maintain professional competence in all aspects of patient care and within the scope of practice as defined by my employer. I will represent the cardiovascular technology profession accurately, honestly, and without fraud or deception.

As a Cardiovascular professional I will uphold professional standards by adhering to defined technical protocols and diagnostic criteria.

I will represent my qualifications honestly and provide only those services for which I am qualified to perform. I will defend and protect the patient’s right to privacy and confidentiality, unless required to disclose such information by law. I will voluntarily report any criminal behavior resulting in a conviction of a misdemeanor or felony.

As a Cardiovascular Technologist, I will consistently maintain and improve professional competence through regular assessment of skills, continuing education, experience and professional training. I will avoid deceptive acts which misrepresent my academic or professional qualifications. I will act in a manner free of bias with regard to religion, ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, disability, social or economic status.

THE FUNERAL SERVICE OATH

I do solemnly swear by that which I hold most sacred; That I shall be loyal to the Funeral Service Profession, and just and generous to its members; That I shall not let the constant relationship and familiarity with death

give me cause to yield to carelessness or to violate my obligation to society or to the dignity of my profession.

That I shall obey the Civil Laws;

That I shall not divulge professional confidences;

And that I shall be faithful to those who have placed their trust in me.

While I continue to keep this oath inviolate, may it be granted to me to enjoy honor in my life and in my profession; and may I be respected by all people for all time.

PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT PLEDGE

As a physical therapist dedicated to providing the highest quality care and services, I solemnly pledge I will:

Respect the rights and dignity of all individuals who seek my services or with whom I work;

Act in a compassionate and trustworthy manner in all aspects of my services;

Exercise sound professional judgment while abiding by legal and ethical requirements;

Demonstrate integrity during interactions with colleagues, other health care providers, students, faculty, researchers, the public, and payers for the enhancement of patient care and the advancement of the profession;

Enhance my practice through life-long acquisition and application of knowledge, skills, and professional behavior;

Participate in efforts to meet physical therapy and health care needs of local, national, and global communities.

Thus, with this oath, I accept the duties and responsibilities that embody the physical therapy profession.
