2011 HINDS FOOTBALL Hinds Community College will honor Hinds retired instructor Michael Hataway of Raymond as the 2011 Alumnus of the Year and Carol Roberson Fox Warren of Madison as the 2011 Alumni Service Award recipient during the Alumni Dinner to be held at 6 p.m., Sept. 27 at Eagle Ridge Conference Center. For information, please contact the Institutional Advancement office at 601.857.3363.
Alumni Service Award Carol Warren
Carol Warren, a 1977 Hinds graduate, has been sharing her passion for dance with the college for more than 20 years. Warren, who is vice president of Administration and Human Resources at Magnolia Federal Credit Union in Jackson, has served as the president of the Hi-Stepper Alumni Chapter since 1990. She is involved with Hinds students on many levels, including coordinating Homecoming field performances by former Hi-Steppers, as well as coordinating previous Hi-Stepper galas, and helping with the Miss Hinds Community College pageant. “Carol has shown kindness and a gentle spirit by supporting all nervous, new college students who are honored to embark on the journey of Hinds Hi-Steppers,” said Jenny Cox Holman, former Hi-Stepper. “She has tirelessly given her time and effort to sustain and uphold the values of Hinds, and it is because of her that countless Hi-Stepper alumnae are a part of the Hinds Community College
Alumni Association and actively involved in supporting the college.” Warren was selected to serve on the Membership Committee in 1983 when the Hi-Stepper Alumni Chapter was introduced. She was among 120 alumni who performed during Homecoming that year. In 1990, Warren was elected as president of the chapter. During Warren’s term as chapter president, long-time former Hi-Stepper director Anna Cowden Bee has been honored several times, including renaming the gym used by the Hi-Steppers as Bee Hall in 1993. Warren assists Angela Hite, current Hi-Stepper director, in coordinating a birthday party for Mrs. Bee each year, which includes a performance by current Hi-Steppers. Also during Warren’s tenure the alumni chapter began a fundraising project in 1996 to endow a scholarship to honor Mrs. Bee. The first scholarship was awarded during the 2000-2001 school year to a sophomore Hi-Stepper and has been awarded annually ever since. “Carol is a constant supporter of the Hi-Steppers, the Miss Hinds Pageant and the Anna Cowden Bee Scholarship, always helping wherever she is needed,” Hite said.
Alumnus of the Year Michael Hataway
Mike Hataway (1966) of Raymond, has been a dedicated instructor for more than four decades and is known for his adamant support of the college. Before retiring in 2004 and taking his aptitude for teaching to Mississippi College, Hataway taught classes at Hinds in commercial art, graphics, photography, drawing and desk top publishing, for more than 33 years, in addition to being the department chairman of the Graphic Communication Department. One of Hataway’s own students, Beth Messina, went on to become the current department chair of the graphics department. “Twenty-eight years ago, I walked into Mike’s classroom a young student, not quite sure which direction my life would take,” Messina said. “In his classroom, I learned the valuable training I needed to obtain a successful career in graphic design.” He attended Hinds for two years, earning his associate’s degree in fine arts, before moving on to earn his bachelor’s degree in education from
Mississippi College in 1968, with art as his major. He later received his master’s degree from MC as well, with an emphasis in painting and graphic arts. When Hataway accepted the graphics position at Hinds in 1971, he was challenged with much more than just teaching. He, along with the support of Walter Gibbes, vocational-technical education director, and Dr. Floyd Elkins, academic dean, worked to build the graphics program from the ground up “Through Mike’s leadership, enrollment in the classes increased significantly and the program achieved a widely recognized reputation for excellence,” said Peggy Brent, chair of the English department and a colleague of Hataway’s. “Hinds’ graphics students were eagerly sought because they were knowledgeable, well-trained and productive.” Some of his honors include being named National Teacher of the Year by the American Vocational Association in 1983, the 1995 legislative HEADWAE (Higher Education Appreciation Day – Working for Academic Excellence) faculty honoree, the Hinds 3E recipient and being include in “Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers and Educators” seven times.
