East Mississippi Community College conducted spring 2025 graduation ceremonies Friday, May 9, and Saturday, May 10, in the Lyceum Auditorium on the college’s Golden Triangle campus.

Two commencement ceremonies took place on May 9 with a 10 a.m. ceremony for students from career technical programs and a 2 p.m. ceremony for academic graduates. Students enrolled in programs of study on EMCC’s Golden Triangle campus, at The Communiversity and at the Lion Hills Center took part in the May 9 graduations, as did students enrolled at the Golden Triangle Early College High School.

Luke Bozeman, a plant manager at PACCAR Engine Company, was the guest speaker for the 10 a.m. ceremony, while Hasini Yamagowni was the guest speaker for the 2 p.m. ceremony. Yamagowni was among the EMCC graduates and will also graduate from Starkville High School later this month.

A commencement ceremony for students enrolled in programs of study on EMCC’s Scooba took place May 10. The graduation ceremony was originally scheduled to take place at Sullivan-Windham Field on the Scooba campus, but the event was relocated to the Lyceum Auditorium on the Golden Triangle campus due to the potential for heavy rains.

Scooba campus Student Government Association President Ciarria King, who took part in the graduation, was the speaker for the May 10 graduation.
