STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擱egina Young Hyatt, 无码专区鈥檚 vice president for student affairs, has been elected to the Woodward Hines Education Foundation鈥檚 board of directors.
For more than 25 years, endowed Jackson-based nonprofit WHEF has worked to promote and increase postsecondary access among underrepresented young Mississippians, and more recently, has expanded its mission to support increased credential and degree completion leading to meaningful employment.
鈥淚 feel particularly compelled by WHEF鈥檚 mission as I recognize the tremendous impact a college degree makes in a person鈥檚 life and the lives of their families, our communities and our state,鈥 Hyatt said. 鈥淭here is strong alignment with Mississippi State鈥檚 institutional goals for student success and the outcomes WHEF seeks to achieve for all Mississippians and colleges/universities in our state.
