Four Graduate from CTE Leadership Academy
Senatobia, MS (06/23/2022) — Four Northwest employees were recently recognized as graduates of the 2022 Career-Technical Education (CTE) Leadership Academy, hosted by the Mississippi Community College Board, at the spring meeting of the Mississippi Association of Community Colleges.
The year-long program provides CTE educators in administrative positions with practical and hands-on experience in developing leadership skills in a wide variety of areas, including communication, budgeting processes, ethics, legislation, and socioeconomic impacts.
Graduates of the academy include Dr. Barton Allen of Senatobia, program director, Physical Therapist Assistant program; Katie Broadway of Hernando, CTE employer partnership coordinator; Ebone Dukes of Senatobia, program director, Funeral Service Technology and Debra Lenox of Arlington, TN, program director, Respiratory Therapy.
"The faculty who attended the leadership academy demonstrate attributes Dr. Heindl always mentions as quality attributes-hungry, humble, and smart," said Dr. Stephanie Mullins, dean of Northwest's School of Health Sciences. "Debra excels in meeting program learning outcomes. Her passion is threaded throughout her being, and this leadership opportunity provided an additional source to nourish her growth. Ebone has implemented many new learning activities for our funeral services students, and her influence has impacted the regional funeral service area. Dr. Allen has a calming leadership style with meticulous organizational skills and a desire to identify needs prior to their conception. Northwest is truly blessed to have these wonderful leaders teaching, inspiring, and influencing our students."
