Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford sits down with Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery to discuss the college's Office of Continuing Education and all that it does to add value to not only the college but the community. Under the direction of Phyllis Colson, the Northeast Office of Continuing Education is responsible for a myriad of classes, courses, events and other opportunities for those wanting to better themselves in a short time frame. As Ford points out, someone may not have 2-3-4 years to invest toward a degree but with Continuing Education, that time is cut down to just days, weeks or even months and helps prepare a person with valuable skills. Ford discusses how continuing education is linked to classes like the Part-Time Reserve Law Enforcement Training Academy and the ever-popular commercial truck driving classes, as well as how continuing education provides training to local hospitality workers through ServSafe workshops and the Radiology Workshop for Dental Assistants. Ford also talks about the Region IV science fair that the Office of Continuing Education is responsible for and a variety of other opportunities that Colson and her staff offer to not only Northeast employees, and students but the community and area workforce as well. To wrap up, Ford gives listeners the Northeast News and discusses athletics, academics, workforce, student activities, and human resources, along with many more important things happening at one of the nation's top community colleges.

In our latest "Faces of AADOM" series, Heather sits down with Melissa, whose remarkable journey from dental assistant to practice manager embodies the spirit of excellence in dental office management. Melissa's story is a testament to the transformative power of dedication, empathy, and a passion for helping others. Melissa began her career in dentistry at the age of twenty, unsure if she could handle the demands of the job. Melissa's path to becoming a practice manager was paved with curiosity and a commitment to learning. Without formal training, she sought guidance from seasoned professionals in the field. She recalls her first experience with a severe periodontal patient: “I was very weak-stomached growing up and didn't know if I could do this. The dentist kept asking if I was okay, and at the end of the day, he told me, ‘If you can do that, you can do anything.'” This trial by fire proved to Melissa that she had the resilience and determination to succeed in dentistry, a field where she could make a profound difference in people's lives. Melissa's philosophy on practice management is centered around putting people first.
