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.

"These two ladies are consummate professionals, they have a sincere desire to help our students, and they possess an enthusiasm and passion for the work we do that is inspiring," Canon said.
