East Mississippi Community College has provided an exceptional foundation for my academic
and personal growth. The professors' dedication has fostered my development into a
stronger student. EMCC offered numerous opportunities for me to excel, both in academics
and extracurricular activities. Here, I've built incredible friendships that will
undoubtedly last a lifetime. The knowledge I gained and the memories I made at EMCC
will forever be a part of me when I embark on my journey to a four-year college.

"East Mississippi Community College has been an incredible launching pad for my future!
The professors here have truly cared about me and have gone above and beyond to make
sure I succeeded. From the Ambassadors program to PTK to student government, EMCC
offered a supportive environment for me to get involved and hone skills I will use
in the future. My favorite aspects of EMCC have been my teachers' easily accessible
office hours and the writing center. These made a huge difference in my confidence
and prepared me for the challenges of a four-year university. I'm so grateful for
the knowledge and experiences I've gained here!"
“I chose EMCC because it gave me the best opportunities coming out of high school.
I got plenty of scholarships because the school offered so many. I would not have
been able to do half of the things that I have done if i didn’t come here. First generation
students are already at a disadvantage. If you are able to you should get an education
to break the generational curse and create generational wealth for your family. Education
is the most powerful tool.”

First Generation College Student & SGA Vice President Scooba
"EMCC isn't just a place to learn, it's home. From the vibrant festivals to the passionate
instructors, every corner offered an opportunity to grow. Public speaking not only
honed my interview skills but also instilled the confidence to think on my feet. Most
importantly, the time at EMCC flew by because it was filled with friendships, challenges
overcome, and memories made. To anyone stepping onto campus for the first time, embrace
every moment, make connections, and remember - there's a whole community invested
in your success."

“EMCC has truly become my home! From the scholarships offered, to the faculty & staff,
