Hi, my name is Macala Washington. I am an 18-year-old freshman and a Mass Communication major.

I chose this major because I was a student intern with Mississippi Public Broadcasting through the Can I Kick It Youth Media Institute for five summers, and it has become something that I am extremely passionate about. While interning at Mississippi Public Broadcasting, I was able to produce documentaries on behalf of my peer group. Being there for five summers helped me to build my skill set and to become a more social person.

On Wednesday, Aug. 31, just before the “Meet the Eagles” pep rally, there was an attempt to make a “Hinds 100” on the football field to be photographed and videoed. The photos and videos will be used in many publications and on the web to promote the upcoming events that will celebrate Hinds Community College turning 100 years old in 2017! This blog post is about the preparation that went into making this happen.

Sports Information Director/Assistant Baseball Coach

My first few weeks at Hinds Community College have been very exciting. I’m here in a dual role as Sports Information director in the Public Relations office and assistant baseball coach under Coach Sam Temple.

I’m a local guy – a Murrah High School graduate who came home from Starkville.
