Welcome

Mr. Kell Smith Executive Director Mississippi Community College Board

SDC 2024

Welcome, On behalf of the MCCB, welcome to the annual Statewide Data Conference! One of our agency’s main responsibilities is to count students each semester and use these numbers to provide funding to the community colleges based on state laws. Without the work of each member colleges' student enrollment data management team, it would be close to impossible for the MCCB to accurately disburse those dollars. We appreciate the data partnership that has been established with the colleges and we look for opportunities to provide support to ensure our data best informs decisions and tells our story. The Statewide Data Conference is one of those opportunities that we take pride in annually hosting. I thank each of you for taking time from your busy schedule to attend the conference. I hope you take back to your campus information that will help with the data collection that is critical to our system. Again, thank you for attending the next few days, and please let me know if I can ever help with
