At a recent ceremony honoring those who have established endowed scholarships at Northwest Mississippi Community College, a plaque of appreciation was presented by Northwest President, Dr. Gary Lee Spears (far left) to the family of Mary Alice Moorman, former member of the Northwest Board of Trustees, for the establishment of the Mary Alice Moorman Endowment. The scholarship was established by Moorman’s niece, Kelley Magee, her husband, Jeff, and their sons, Michael and Will as a permanent tribute to her contribution to education in Yalobusha County and her love for and dedication to Northwest.
