‘Dynamic duo’ gets Hinds CC Rankin students off on right foot

August 17, 2015 | by Cathy Hayden

The second most exciting day at Hinds Community College — after my favorite event, graduation — is the first day of fall classes in August. We get a lot of fresh, eager — and lost — faces ready to start their educational careers. And it’s “all hands on deck” for the entire college. Everyone does whatever is necessary to help.

Typical non-traditional college student gets atypical invitation

March 7, 2013 | by Cathy Hayden

In some ways, Amanda McMillan of Pearl typifies the non-traditional Hinds Community College student. At age 43, she works full-time waiting tables at Table 100, is divorced and has three children. In her second semester on the Rankin Campus, she is also taking a full-time load of classes at 12 hours.

First Day of Classes - Jan. 14, 2013

January 15, 2013 | by Cathy Hayden

Next to graduation, covering the first day of a brand-new semester of classes is my favorite thing to do as Hinds public relations director.
There’s so much promise in that new start of classes. And I’m always impressed at the dedication of students and their reasons for going to college, especially at Hinds.
In a cold, driving rain on the first day of classes on the Rankin Campus I ran into a few of those dedicated students:
  • A young mother with a double stroller carrying two children ages 18 months and eight months. When I saw her in the library, she was drenched in her  light clothes and flipflops but had the babies bundled up in jackets with blankets tucked around them for good measure.  She chose Hinds so she could finish her degree in licensed practical nursing at night so her husband could keep the little ones while she’s in class.

  • A young man taking three online classes so he can work a full-time job as he continues toward a bachelor’s degree in psychology. 
  • An older guy hoping to finish his criminal justice degree this semester so he can take that first step in a law enforcement career. 
  • A late 20s St. Dominic’s nurse waiting in the book store line with her three-year-old daughter who was carrying her favorite doll. She wants to finish prerequisites to get into a bachelor’s of science in nursing program and further her career.

What all these students have in common is they chose Hinds’ Rankin Campus to help them achieve their goals. And they had to be dedicated to show up for the first day in that shivery cold rain!

Hinds CC Rankin Campus iTechnology Show

October 5, 2012 | by Jamie Nash

On Tuesday, October 2nd, Hinds Community College’s Rankin Campus hosted its annual iTechnology Show for Rankin County high school students at the Clyde Muse Center. The show featured several of Hinds CC’s academic and career/technical programs as well as local businesses. This was my first time going to the event and I was very excited to experience all the iTechnology show had to offered.
