More than 300 students graduate at MGCCC’s Summer Commencement

MGCCC held their summer commencement ceremony earlier this afternoon at the Harrison County campus.

Robin Lyons was the commencement speaker. He teaches English and serves as the chair of the School of Language Arts at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College’s Perkinston campus.

More than 300 students graduated today. Dean of Student Services Michelle Sekul said, “This is a huge milestone for those graduates — now some of them will be going on to get a Bachelor’s degree but some of our students will be leaving here today and probably already have jobs. This is what we’re here for at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. We’re here for the students, we’re here to see them complete that degree, we’re here to see them get that job or move on to the next level. So, we love to see what education can do for their lives.”
