East Mississippi Community College conducted spring 2026 graduation ceremonies at the college’s Scooba and Golden Triangle campuses.

The graduation ceremony on the Scooba campus took place May 7 on Sullivan-Windham Field. Two graduation ceremonies followed on May 8 in the Lyceum Auditorium on EMCC’s Golden Triangle campus, with a morning commencement for students in academic programs and an afternoon commencement for career technical students.

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 8 graduations, as did students enrolled at the Golden Triangle Early College High School who had completed a certificate or associate degree at EMCC.

The guest speaker for the Scooba campus graduation was Student Government Association President Gabrielle Glenn. On the Golden Triangle campus, graduate Emma Morgan gave the commencement address for the academic class. Student Tashari Levette Henley was the commencement speaker for the career technical graduation.

EMCC President Dr. Scott Alsobrooks awarded the students’ degrees. More than 750 students applied for graduation, with graduates hailing from 16 U.S. states, 51 Mississippi counties, and 110 Mississippi cities, towns and unincorporated areas.
