North East Mississippi Community College has named Gina Bray, a financial aid associate, as this month’s recipient of the Northeast Way Award. The honor recognizes individuals who foster a positive, welcoming, and supportive environment within the college community.
Bray’s role involves helping students access essential resources, but her impact extends beyond administrative duties. A student nominator praised her for always ensuring things run smoothly and for going out of her way to assist students even outside of work hours.
According to the nomination, Bray’s positivity and steady presence provide students with reassurance during uncertain times. One student said Bray has helped beyond financial aid, making students feel seen, supported, and cared for as individuals.
The Northeast Way Award emphasizes showing up, following through, and genuinely caring for those served. Bray’s kindness and dedication exemplify these qualities, making a lasting difference for students every day, college officials said.
NEMCC encourages others to recognize deserving employees by submitting nominations through an online form linked on the college’s website.
