MIGHTY LION BAND CAMP 

Where did the summer go? The fall semester begins Aug. 18.
Students are registering for classes and buying books. On the
Scooba campus, EMCC band director Stephen Stringer is taking
the Mighty Lion Band through its paces this week as they prepare
for the 2010-11 season. The band has grown so quickly in one year,
more than doubling in size, that Stringer had to relocate across
campus to a larger space in Aust Hall. Roar!

FALL CONVOCATION

We also award service pins to employees celebrating anniversaries, beginning with 10 years and continuing in five-year increments.
