ICC reorganizes recruiting; adds staff With a renewed emphasis on enrollment services and in an effort to better serve both prospective and current students, Itawamba Community College has reorganized recruiting. Taylor Kelley of Pontotoc and Jordan Smith of Saltillo have been employed to focus exclusively on traditional student recruiting, which involves frequent visits to all high schools in Chickasaw, Itawamba, Lee, Monroe and Pontotoc counties, according to Dr. Melissa Haab, dean of enrollment services. “Taylor and Jordan will be available to assist area high school students in transitioning to Itawamba Community College,” Haab said. “In the past, ICC’s recruiters also served as academic advisers, and it was difficult to focus on both.
