Northeast Mississippi Community College reports FFA honors, recruiting event and Halloween campus activities

Northeast Mississippi Community College said its FFA chapter was named a Southern Region finalist for National Chapter and recognized as a Gold Chapter, according to the college. The post also said two students, Ella Mills and AJ Burcham, earned their American FFA Degree, which the source described as the highest degree awarded by the National FFA Organization.

FFA recognition and student travel

In the same announcement, Northeast Mississippi Community College said students toured an organic dairy farm, creamery and restaurant during their trip. The college said the visit gave students a closer look at agriculture and opportunities within the industry. The post did not provide additional details about the trip beyond those activities.

Recruiting at the MPOWER Expo

Earlier on Oct. 29, the college said recruiters and instructors were meeting future students at the MPOWER Expo. In that post, Northeast Mississippi Community College said it was showing hands-on programs and sharing information about in-demand careers. The college thanked Career Coach Johnson and Career Coach Lewis for making the event happen.

Also on Oct. 29, Northeast Mississippi Community College said it planned its annual Tiger Town Tailgate Tent-or-Treat at Ramsey Lawn from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. The college said the event would include music, food, games, giveaways, Halloween fun and a performance by Campus Country, and it was scheduled before the Tigers played Holmes that night. In a later post, the college said the event drew an “awesome crowd” and was followed by a Tiger football win.

For Prentiss County readers, the posts show several Northeast activities taking place on campus in late October, including student recognition, recruiting outreach and a public family event.
