MCC’s two graduations mark the completion of Fall Semester 2025
With the holidays just around the corner, celebrations arrived early on the MCC campus as the College hosted two commencement ceremonies for the Fall Class of 2025.
Graduates from the Career and Technical Education and University Transfer programs crossed the stage in a day filled with pride, anticipation, and a sense of new beginnings.
MCC President Dr. Tom Huebner praised the class for its determination and resilience. “MCC helped these students find their potential and gain the knowledge and skills they needed to succeed,” he said. “Watching them reach for their dreams reminded us why we do this work.”
Six graduates were chosen as members of the Fall 2025 Circle of Excellence. The students who studied in the College's University Transfer and Career and Technical Education programs were saluted for their academic achievement, leadership, community service, and spirit.
Associate Degree Nursing graduates Kloe Goodin of Enterprise, Jasmine Kelly of Louisville, and Adrienne Edwards of Philadelphia were selected for the honor and were recognized in the Health Care Assistant and Nursing Graduation ceremony.
Bailey Csaszar of Leakesville, and Josie Smith and Rosina Burford, both of Meridian, also received the Circle of Excellence recognition. Csaszar is studying athletic training; Smith is a Medical Office Management Technology Program graduate, and Burford is studying commercial aviation.
