Klines endow ICC scholarship Tommy and Natalie Kline of Fulton are providing an opportunity for future Itawamba Community College students to achieve their dreams through their recent scholarship endowment. The Tommy and Natalie Kline Endowed Scholarship will fund full-tuition for any deserving full-time student with financial need. Tommy, an Aberdeen native, met Natalie, lifelong Fulton resident, at then-Itawamba Junior College in the spring of 1976. He returned to IJC to complete work on the associate’s degree in business, which he began a couple of years earlier when he was recruited by Tom Childs to play football at IJC.

ICC program receives $12,500 grant Itawamba Community College’s Precision Manufacturing and Machining Technology program has received a $12,500 grant from the Gene Haas Foundation. The check was presented recently during the Haas Technical Education Center’s Mississippi Regional Conference at Jones County Junior College. According to Barry Emison, ICC’s dean of Career and Technical Instruction, the funds will be used for student aid and certifications. “We appreciate very much the investment by the Haas Foundation in ICC’s Precision Manufacturing and Machining Technology program,” Emison said. “Not only is it an investment in the program, but it is an investment in the futures of our students.” In 1999, Gene Haas formed the foundation which bears his name because he grew up with a strong social conscience instilled by his family. It was initially designed to fund the needs of the local community. Haas Automation is now a billion dollar company. The focus of the foundation has shifted to the current outreach and methodology. Its purpose is to introduce students to careers in machine technology and manufacturing, to build skills in the machining industry and to help military veterans enroll ...
