Faculty member, student selected as HEADWAE honoreesHeadwae
By: S.A. Umberger

Keith Reed, Business instructor at Northwest’s DeSoto Center campus, was selected as this year’s HEADWAE faculty honoree for his outstanding performance in education.

“I am truly honored and humbled to be selected for the HEADWAE award,” said Reed. “This honor has had a tremendous impact on me and my passion for teaching.  It has motivated me to strive for excellence all the more.”

HEADWAE stands for Higher Education Appreciation Day, Working for Academic Excellence. It was established by the Mississippi State Legislature in 1987 to honor selected students for high academic achievements and faculty members for their contributions in higher education.

The legislature annually hosts Appreciation Day in February at the state Capitol where they have a luncheon to show appreciation for selected honorees.

“I attribute my career success to education, determination and sacrifice,” said Reed. Reed, a resident of Batesville, has been teaching Business Communications and Business Statistics at DeSoto Center for five years.  Full story
