December 12, 2025

East Mississippi Community College conducted a fall 2025 commencement ceremony on Friday, Dec. 12, in the Lyceum Auditorium on the college’s Golden Triangle campus.

Students who completed programs of study on EMCC’s Golden Triangle and Scooba campuses participated in the graduation ceremony, as did those from The Communiversity at EMCC and the Lion Hills Center. Last year’s December graduation ceremony took place on the Scooba campus.

The 2025 graduating class included students from both academic and career technical programs of study. More than 325 students applied for graduation. EMCC also conducts graduation ceremonies on the college’s Scooba and Golden Triangle campuses in May of each year.

The guest speaker was Charlena Tell, who completed her degree from EMCC in Medical Billing and Coding and is among the Class of 2025 graduates. EMCC President Dr. Scott Alsobrooks conferred the graduates and awarded their degrees.
