The Meridian Star
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.
