Senatobia, MS (08/15/2017) — Sybil Canon, Northwest Mississippi Community College associate vice president of Development and Special Projects, is pleased to announce that Patti Gordon is assuming the responsibilities of director of Alumni Affairs and Foundation Operations and Marla Kennedy is the new scholarship coordinator and foundation assistant.
Gordon, a graduate of Delta State University and a native of Cleveland, began her tenure at Northwest in June 2015. She has held volunteer leadership positions with Delta State's Alumni Association and is looking forward to using those skills in the Northwest Alumni Association.
