MAYHEW, Miss. (WCBI) – East Mississippi Community College’s outgoing president opens up about his decision to leave the school after eleven years at the helm as president.
Dr. Rick Young announced Tuesday that he will be retiring as of June 30th. After 42 years in education and 40 with EMCC, Young sees this as a good time to start a new chapter in his life.

“I’ve had several false starts over the past four or five years that I said I was going to retire, and I’ve always found reasons to extend it just a little bit. But, yes, it hasn’t really soaked in, if you will, the reality”

EMCC will begin the search for a new president next month.
