Armstrong challenges 2018 graduates More than 600 graduates of Itawamba Community College crossed the stage at the Davis Event Center on the Fulton Campus May 12 during two commencement ceremonies and were rewarded with Associate of Arts or Associate of Applied Science degrees or certificates of completion. They were among approximately 800 graduates who have earned degrees from ICC this year. Although each graduate’s journey is unique, there were commonalities. In fact, 56 graduates spent 11-20 years in pursuit of the degree, and five invested more than 25 years to reach this point. About 30 percent of the graduates are the first to earn a college degree in their family, and 55 shared the 2018 ceremony with a cousin, sibling, parent, aunt, uncle, son, daughter, spouse and a fiancé. During both ceremonies, ICC alumnus and Tupelo native Dr. Ketra Armstrong, who is a tenured professor in the school of Kinesiology in the Department of Sport Management of the University of Michigan, shared her life story as a challenge to the graduates. “This (ICC) is home,” she said. “Life takes you around the ... ICC to offer Summer Institute Itawamba Community College will offer three opportunities as part of its upcoming Summer Institute. Participants in the Graduation Academy, which will begin June 1, are students who lack specific courses to complete degree requirements. They have been contacted about enrollment opportunities, according to Dr. Brandi McCraw, instructional coordinator. The Musicians Academy is for music majors (voice and non-voice) to complete a lab-based science during the summer term while they also become more fluent in reading music. Each student will be enrolled in a four-hour lab-based science course and in Fundamentals of Music, McCraw said. “Developmental education courses can add the expense of unplanned, extra semesters to a student’s collegiate experience,” McCraw said. The Summer Bridge program targets students who have an ACT math sub-score of 16-18 and enrolls each into a summer cohort with handpicked instructors who are dedicated to student success. “The academic progress for this cohort of students is carefully tracked by our academic support specialists in order to provide the tools each student needs to successfully move to the next course ... Mississippi Speaker of the House of Representatives Jason White challenges ICC graduates in one of three commencement ceremonies Mississippi Speaker of the House of Representatives Jason White challenged Itawamba Community College graduates today (Friday) at the 10 a.m. commencement ceremony at the Davis Event Center at the Fulton Campus to live by the words he shared with his colleagues as they began the new term in January. “To whom much is given, much is expected,” White said. “I would tell you graduates the same message applies as you enter this new chapter of your lives. Hurdles and challenges certainly await you; don’t get bogged down by the small things, focus on the big picture and make an impact. Don’t be trepidatious to do something out of the ordinary, challenge conventional wisdom, and even push yourself to a zone of discomfort.” White said that when he was in law school at Mississippi College, a half mile or two blocks away from the Mississippi State Capitol which he passed every day for three years, he never once dreamed that he would be elected as a Representative nor being involved in politics. “Be open to ... ICC's enhanced Summer Edge program offers tuition free up to six hours and waived fees Itawamba Community College is continuing its Summer Edge program, and the enhanced version will offer all students an opportunity to take up to six credit hours (two three-credit hour classes) with tuition and all fees waived. Classes include both online and face-to-face. “Itawamba Community College is committed to student success and has worked diligently over the past two years to ensure all students are receiving the resources they need to be successful,” said ICC President Dr. Jay Allen. “We feel that this is a significant opportunity to reengage/engage students who continue to experience economic barriers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will enable students to get an edge in classes through quality instruction at ICC. That is our continuing commitment.” ICC’s summer schedule enables students to take classes they need or those that will enable them to have an edge in their college career. The summer opportunities are also perfect for adults who want to explore other careers, upskill on their own or enroll in classes they never had an opportunity to take.
