MSCC’s Adult Ed Overcoming Misinformation, Meeting County Needs

One year ago, Mid-South Community College’s Adult Education department began bracing for a major change that some thought would sink the program.

A new General Education Development® examination had been created, and the cost of the test was expected to go from free to more than $100, effectively ending access for many of those who needed the service and opportunity the most.

Today, however, MSCC’s efforts to help Arkansas citizens earn a high school diploma equivalency are going strong thanks to some last-minute adjustments by the state.

MSCC Selects Hampton to Direct Adult Education Efforts

Donnylle Hampton, who came to Mid-South Community College in July 2009 as program coordinator for the Technical Center, has been named director of Adult Education.

Hampton succeeds Gheric Bruce who has been promoted to Associate Vice President for Student Life.

“Donnyelle is a great addition to the department because she cares about students, understands the culture of our institution and our region, and knows how to administer grant-funded programs,” said Bruce, who oversees the Adult Education Department as part of his new duties.
