East Mississippi Community College held fall 2019 commencement ceremonies Friday, Dec. 13, at the college’s Scooba and Golden Triangle campuses for about 300 students. The graduating class included students from academic and career-technical programs.

In addition to online/eLearning classes, EMCC offers classes at its Scooba, Golden Triangle, Columbus Air Force Base, Naval Air Station Meridian, Lion Hills, Macon and West Point Center campuses.

During the commencement ceremonies, EMCC President Dr. Scott Alsobrooks encouraged students to pursue their dreams.

“It is up to you to define success,” Alsobrooks said. “For you, that may mean the accumulation of wealth, or to a lesser degree, financial stability. You may aspire to be an agent for social or political change. Perhaps you want to make a difference in other people’s lives.

“If you haven’t done so already, figure out what it is you want out of life and go get it. If you discover you are on the wrong track, change direction. Take charge of your lives.”
