Meridian Community College: MCCer Of The Month Kim Eastman

Press release from Meridian Community College:

November 12, 2021

Kim Eastman counts her colleagues – her “work family” -  as a blessing. 

“You couldn’t ask for a better group of folks and that makes all the difference in
your work environment,” she said.  

Eastman is the administrative assistant to vice president for workforce solutions
and dean of workforce education, Joseph Knight and Lori Smith, respectively. She is
also MCCer of the Month for November. 

The MCC Foundation sponsors this monthly recognition award to exemplify the College’s
hardworking employees who go above and beyond the job duties. Honorees receive a commemorative
plaque and a $250 cash award. 

For five years, Eastman has worked at the College. When asked what she likes best
about MCC, she admits it is her co-workers. “On a campus our size, to have so many
fabulous and wonderful people to work with and spend your time, few have that. We
have so many people here that are always looking for ways to help and serve others.”  

Strong in her faith, Eastman said the most important event of her life was “the day
Jesus Christ saved my soul! Forever changed, forever saved. Eternal life. Thank you,
Lord!” And the Scripture from Ephesians 2:4 & 5 serves as a guide for her. "But God,
being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we
were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ - by grace you have
been saved."​  

Eastman, a native of Meridian, and her husband, Joe, have “two wonderful children,
Tyler and Baylie. They are both married to our bonus children, Mariah and Micah.​” 

When she’s not at the College, Eastman enjoys hiking and baking.
