ICC, Regional Rehab Center launch innovative partnership Itawamba Community College and the Regional Rehabilitation Center have launched an innovative partnership with the addition of free adult education classes. ICC President Dr. Jay Allen and Adult Education Director Linzy Patterson and Regional Rehab Center Executive Director Robby Parman welcomed the first students to class, Jan. 5. “For ICC, we’ve had a long-standing relationship with the Regional Rehab Center, so this partnership was a no-brainer,” Allen said. “The idea was to move the needle for the communities we serve, and the Regional Rehab Center has a great ministry.

The classes meet from 1-4:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays at the center, which is located at 615 Pegram Drive in Tupelo. Parman said that the idea for ... January 6, 2022 By Thomas, Donna S.
