ACADEMIC REGALIA The Mace The Northwest Mississippi Community College mace stands as a symbol of educational leadership. The origins of the mace can be traced to medieval times when knights carried them as weapons during processions with their kings. As the tradition grew, the mace became a symbol of authority and was often decorated with elaborate embellishments and gems. Today, a college mace represents the authority invested in the president by a school’s governing body. The mace is used only on formal occasions, including commencement exercises and presidential inaugurations, when participants are often in full regalia and the president is in attendance.

The Northwest mace, crafted by minting company Medalcraft Mint, Inc., is the first in the College’s history.

The mace was designed by a committee composed of Julie Bauer, former director of Communications; Sybil Canon, former associate vice president for Development and Special Projects; Jennifer Corbin, graphic designer; and Dan Smith, former Chief of Staff and vice president for Student Services.

Carved from natural walnut and accented with brass, the mace stands 42 inches tall. Topping the mace is the Northwest Mississippi Community College seal, sculpted in brass with an antiqued finish and a walnut surround. The seal depicts the name and initials of the College, an outline of the State of Mississippi, and carries the year of the College’s founding, 1927. The seal and surround sit atop a brass platform that reads “Northwest Mississippi Community College.” Below the platform is a brass banner commemorating Tate County Agricultural High School, first organized in 1915 and the parent institution of Northwest. On the staff of the mace are eleven smaller brass banners further commemorating the sponsoring counties of Northwest—Benton, Calhoun, DeSoto, Lafayette, Marshall, Panola, Quitman, Tallahatchie, Tate, Tunica, and Yalobusha. At the bottom of the mace is a 7.25” brass foot.

The base of natural walnut was crafted by Stanley Isom, a member of the College’s Physical Plant staff. The front of the base features an antique brass College seal to match the mace.

The Chain of Office The chain of office, which is worn by the president on ceremonial occasions, is the visible symbol of the office and authority of the president of the College. The current chain of office was commissioned by the College’s eighth president, Dr. Gary Lee Spears, and was first used at the 2006 commencement ceremonies. The chain of office consists of an ornamental chain bearing brass banners upon which are inscribed the names and years of service of the presidents of Northwest.

The chain terminates in a banner inscribed with the title of the office—“President”—from which hangs the seal of Northwest Mississippi Community College in brass.

The Gonfalons The College’s gonfalons are a set of pageantry banners used during formal ceremonies to represent the institution and campus locations. Included in the set are four 3-by-5-foot fishtail-style gonfalons, each one featuring the logo of the Senatobia campus, DeSoto Center, Lafayette-Yalobusha Technical Center, and eLearning on a field of blue with a red stripe in the College’s official colors. The institution as a whole is represented by a 4-by-6-foot fishtail-style gonfalon featuring the College name and seal in the College’s official colors on a blue field with a red stripe. The smaller gonfalons are used in the Processional, while the larger gonfalon remains stationary on the stage.

COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER Mr. Tony Sandridge President, Tate County Board of Supervisors In 2007, Mr. Tony Sandridge won the electoral election for the position of District 3 supervisor in Tate County. His significant achievement made him the first African American to hold a position as a county supervisor in Tate County.

Mr. Sandridge has been in office for 16 years and is currently serving his fifth term. For the last four years, he has served as president of the Tate County Board of Supervisors. He is determined to transform Tate County into a community where everyone is appreciated, valued, and provided with opportunities.

After graduating from Coldwater High School, Mr. Sandridge continued his education at Northwest Mississippi Community College. As the director and founder of Tate County Bridging the Gap and Seniors on the Move, Mr. Sandridge regularly participates in collaborative initiatives with local community members. Moreover, he assists local youth sports leagues within the community. He is a member of the Mississippi Association of Supervisors Educational Committee, on the Board of Directors of Communicare, and is a member of several other organizations and committees dedicated to providing services to the residents of Tate County. He also works with the Tate County Youth and Drug Court advisory board.

Mr. Sandridge has been married to his wife, Cassandra, for 34 years. He and his family have lived in Tate County their entire lives. They are the parents of Tempestt and Brandon, as well as the grandparents of Kayler and Kaden. He is also a deacon at Second Baptist M.B. Church, located in Coldwater.
