Attention students,
In order to ensure the safety of our graduates, families, faculty, staff and administration, we are excited to announce that we will honor EMCC graduates on all of our campuses Wednesday, May 20,, at 7 p.m. through a virtual graduation.
This is a significant milestone for all of our graduates and we want to personalize the ceremony as much as we can; therefore, we are asking that each graduate who applied to participate in the on-ground ceremony send us a photo of himself/herself in professional attire, against a plain backdrop which includes just your head and shoulders.
One photo with your official name and your EMCC ID number in the subject line should be sent to communications@eastms.edu no later than Tuesday, May 5,, in order to be included in the graduation presentation. Photos should be taken horizontally. Any images that do not meet these requirements or are deemed inappropriate by administration, will not be included in the slideshow.
Thank you for your patience as we work through new processes and procedures to best serve our students. We look forward to honoring you and your accomplishments soon.

"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.
