Class of 2026 celebrated during ICC Commencement exercises

Itawamba Community College celebrated the achievements, perseverance and promise of the Class of 2026 during Commencement exercises Friday, May 15, at the Davis Event Center on the Fulton Campus.

Addressing graduates during the ceremonies, ICC President Dr. Jay Allen reminded students that “the big picture begins with you,” echoing the college’s yearlong theme, “The Power of One,” while encouraging graduates to recognize the impact one person can make through service, leadership and determination.

“The road to this moment has looked different for every graduate seated before us today,” Allen said. “Some balanced jobs and family responsibilities, some overcame obstacles that once seemed impossible, and others discovered new purpose and direction along the way. Yet each story represents the power of perseverance and the value of opportunity.”
