Summary
Senate Resolution 88 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Daniel Calcote, a Visual Arts Instructor at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College’s Perkinston campus, for being selected as the college’s “Instructor of the Year.” The resolution recites his service to the college, his educational background in ceramics, and his prior work experience, and it expresses the Senate’s commendation and congratulations for his achievement.
