The ICC experience continues to elevate! Construction of The Connection Center, a meeting space with a Chick-fil-A, is proposed on the Fulton Campus on Main Street in front of the Band Hall parking lot. The expected opening would be Spring 2026 pending Board approval of bids.
Dr. Allen at Gaylord Palms in Orlando PTK International Convention received the Paragon Award for New Presidents nominated by Upsilon Sigma chapter Fulton
ICC opened its new residential facility, Magnolia Hall, with a ribbon cutting today at 10 a.m. at the Fulton Campus. The 72,000-square-foot three-story residence will provide state-of-the-art housing accommodations for 246 additional ICC student leaders and scholars.
If community colleges were to cease to exist due to budget cuts, tens of thousands of people seeking to better themselves would have no shot, and Mississippi's economy would plummet due to an unprepared and vacant workforce, especially in the area of skilled workers
Itawamba Community College continues to monitor the weather as a result of Hurricane Ida. If conditions change causing alterations to college operations, you will be notified as soon as possible via the regular outlets, ICC Alert, social media, the website and area media.
Get ready to meet the stars on- and off-the-field! 🌟 Join us for Meet the Indians this Tuesday and connect with all of our spring sports. It's more than a game – it's a community! 🏀🥎⚾️🎾
