The Robert W. Steinriede Faculty & Staff Development Fund
Developed in 2013, the first-ever privately funded faculty and staff development fund was created through the MDCC Development Foundation, Inc. and named in honor of Robert W. Steinriede. The fund is appropriately named after Steinriede, better known as Bobby. Mr. Steinriede served on the MDCC Board of trustees from 1979-1990. He was appointed by Governor Barbour in 2007 to serve on the Mississippi Community College Board. Bobby is an MDCC alumnus having played football for Coach Randall in 1967. After graduation, Mr. Steinriede immediately went to work for Guaranty bank and has been with them for 40 years and currently serves as the Executive Vice-President.
This program provides full-time faculty, part-time instructors, and staff the opportunity to develop projects that support the educational mission of MDCC. None of this would be possible without the generosity of Mr. Bryan Jones. This fund was created by Mr. Jones, and will aide in the growth and development of the college and its stakeholders.
