Renasant Bank and CoreLogic are helping sponsor the renovation of the former Big Yank industrial building in Water Valley to Mississippi’s first Rural Education and Innovation Hub. The hub will be named Everest.

WATER VALLEY — Mississippi based non-profit, Base Camp Coding Academy, which provides under-advantaged youth with fast-paced, focused vocational training in computer programming to support the technology needs of local and regional employers, announced Tuesday that CoreLogic and Renasant Bank have joined other corporate and philanthropic partners in Base Camp’s expanded mission as Summit Sponsors. Both CoreLogic and Renasant Bank are Founding Sponsors of Base Camp.

A significant component of the expanded mission of Base Camp Coding Academy is to create, with Northwest Mississippi Community College and other partners, Everest, which is Mississippi’s first Rural Education and Innovation Hub in Water Valley.

“The dual mission of Base Camp Coding Academy to provide alternative pathways to employment in technical fields for untapped sources of talent while helping fill the unmet needs of business for technical talent is a perfect fit with CoreLogic’s social responsibility goals and employment needs,” said CoreLogic President and CEO Frank Martell.

C. Mitchell Waycaster, Renasant President and CEO added, “We are pleased to expand our support for Base Camp Coding Academy as it successfully completes its three-year pilot and moves to expand its mission further through Everest, Mississippi’s first Rural Education and Innovation Hub, enabling growth in the student population, curriculum, facilities and mission.”
