Northwest Mississippi Community College's 2024 Fall Graduates

Northwest Mississippi Community College officials announced that 443 graduates have been awarded degrees and certificates for the Fall 2024 semester. Degrees were officially conferred by Dr. Michael Heindl, Northwest president, on Friday December 13, during the college's 117th Commencement.

Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch served as commencement speaker and shared her unique insights and wisdom with the graduates. Fitch is Mississippi's 40th Attorney General and the state's first-ever female Attorney General. She was elected in January of 2020 and was re-elected in 2023. In 2022, Time Magazine named her one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, alongside many other accolades for her accomplished career.

Dr. Heindl also surprised the Honorable Fitch with her own degree via reverse transfer from the college where she started her college career many years ago.
