Meridian Community College: Brandy Hill Joins MCC Foundation Staff

Press release from Meridian Community College:

July 2, 2021

For Brandy Hill, combining a career in accounting and education added up. 

Explaining she’s always had a penchant for numbers, Hill earned a bachelor's degree in accounting
from Mississippi State University-Meridian and a Master of Business Administration from
Delta State University. The West Alabama native worked with a Meridian-based private
firm and garnered nine years of accounting experience in the higher education and nonprofit arenas
before coming to MCC in April as MCC Foundation Accountant II. 

“This type of accounting has a purpose,” she said. “It’s impacting students’ lives
… not just tracking numbers,” Hill said, adding that the scholarships the Foundation
oversees make a difference.  “You realize how much students need the scholarships.
Truly, some cannot go to college without the help.” 

Since she’s been on campus, Hill said she has been warmly received by colleagues and
the community. “The MCC Foundation is blessed to have Brandy join the office,” said
Diane Delk, Foundation Accountant I. “Our working together to record all transactions,
make necessary adjustments and create reports is symbolic of teamwork,” she added. 

“Brandy and Diane make a great team,” said Leia Hill, vice president for institutional
advancement and executive director of the MCC Foundation. “As professionals, they
both have the Foundation’s mission at the forefront and will help firmly secure its future.” 

Hill and her husband, Ray “Tooney” Hill, live in Scooba.
