By Sarah Smith

Northwest Mississippi Community College this week announced that Melissa Cannon of Batesville is a winner of the 2024 President’s Customer Service Award during the college-wide Convocation on Aug. 12 at the Heindl Center for the Performing Arts.

Cannon is a math instructor with more than 20 years of experience in the teaching profession. Her tireless work to help students achieve their goals and find what equation fits in their life made her an easy choice for one of this year’s awards.

“I am honored to receive the President’s Customer Service Award,” Cannon said. “Northwest is a wonderful place to work, and I am blessed with amazing and talented colleagues who make such a difference in the lives of our students. To be chosen as a representative of this group of fantastic people is an honor that I will always treasure.”

Cannon received her undergraduate education in science at Mississippi State University, and her Master of Science in mathematics from the University of Mississippi. She has worked as a math instructor since 2002. She also serves as the Early College coordinator for Mathematics at Northwest.

Also announced as a 2024 President’s Customer Service Award winner for staff members was Brian Hale of Senatobia, the college’s IT Service Delivery Coordinator.

“Upon being nominated by their colleagues for this well-deserved recognition, each of these employees have, and continue to make, significant contributions to Northwest by providing the best service,” said Northwest President, Dr. Michael J. Heindl. “They live out the values of our institution on a daily basis, and for that I am very thankful.”
