Dr. Chad Stocks
Hinds Community College will have a ribbon-cutting and building dedication ceremony for the Regional Maritime Training Center on Highway 27 near the Vicksburg-Warren Campus.
The ceremony will be at 10:30 a.m. TODAY. The center will be dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. Chad Stocks, who was instrumental in its creation.
The Chad Stocks Regional Maritime Training Center will host skills and knowledge training for high-paying jobs on the Mississippi River and other U.S. inland waterways. Future phases of the training center will include living quarters, a galley and dining area for the students and faculty, two technical laboratories, and a simulation center. The dedicated facility will simulate a real-world experience that will help students prepare for a career as a mariner.
