MERIDIAN —     East Mississippi Community College's Gary Gammill, an instructor, and Stephanie McCully, a student, were among honorees at the 23rd Annual HEADWAE program. Gammill and McCully are both from EMCC’s Golden Triangle campus.

    Students and faculty members from 35 universities and colleges in Mississippi gathered in Jackson for Higher Education Appreciation Day – Working for Academic Excellence. HEADWAE was established in 1988 by legislative resolution to honor individual academic achievement and the overall contribution of the state’s public and private institutions of higher learning.

    The day began with a tour of the Mississippi Capitol, during which HEADWAE honorees were honored with a resolution by state lawmakers, followed by a luncheon at the Mississippi Convention Center.

Watching students succeed highlight of Dr. Phil Sutphin’s tenure at ECCC
    Of all the accomplishments during Dr. Phil A. Sutphin’s 12-year tenure as East Central Community College’s seventh president, his fondest memory is a simple one: watching students graduate.
    “Whether it is a commencement in May, a GED graduation ceremony or a healthcare pinning, the joy and sense of accomplishment is evident on all faces – students, families and faculty,” Sutphin said. “After all, is that not the college’s mission?”
    Sutphin, who announced his retirement plans at the November 2011 meeting of the college’s Board of Trustees, will have completed 42 years in education when he officially steps down on June 30.
