MCCer Kathy Brookshire is wearing
another cap by chairing the East Mississippi Business Development
Corporation’s Education Committee.
Brookshire, who serves the College as director of institutional
advancement, said the 20-member board seeks to present a positive
influence on education. “We feel education is critical to both economic
development and community growth.”
She added, “the committee feels its important for businesses and
professionals to openly support education.” The EMBDC committee has
already focused its attention on the needs of Meridian Public Schools.
Brookshire came to the College after a career as elementary school
teacher. “I’ve committed my whole life to education,” she said.
MCC President Dr. Scott Elliott said, "Kathy Brookshire is undoubtedly
one of the most talented teachers ever produced by the State of
Mississippi. Her total commitment to students and her innovation in
developing new teaching programs have been hallmarks of her
award-winning career. I can't think of a better person to lead the EMBDC
Education Committee than Kathy. She will bring a terrific base of
knowledge to the committee as well as unrivaled enthusiasm. As the
Meridian Public School District considers issues such as the hiring of a
new superintendent and strategies to promote higher student achievement,
Kathy and her committee will be an invaluable resource."

Seuss fan – Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Barbara Jones
enthusiastically reads the Dr. Seuss classic, Green Eggs and Ham,
to youngsters at Northeast Elementary School in honor of the author’s
birthday. Reports have it that Dr. Seuss, Theodore Geisel, wrote
Green Eggs and Ham on a $250 bet. The wager was that Geisel couldn’t
write a book using only 50 words. |
