Commencement is not a celebration of the end of a college education, but a celebration of the beginning of life after college. That is the message John Warmack of Texarkana, Arkansas, told graduates of Missouri University of Science and Technology Saturday, July 31, during a special summer commencement ceremony.
Warmack, principal at Warmack and Co. LLC and a 1979 civil engineering graduate of Missouri S&T, was the commencement speaker at the ceremony, which honored former Missouri S&T students who graduated during 2020 or in spring 2021 but were unable to participate in a ceremony because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Summer 2021 graduates also participated.

As Arkansas is experiencing a dramatic surge in COVID-19 cases, with more than 2,800 new cases reported Thursday, kids are being impacted like never before in the pandemic. Gov. Asa Hutchinson said he was especially concerned about the increase in pediatric cases while announcing he was reinstating a public health emergency for the state.
Only people who are 12 and older can get vaccinated, which is a concern as schools are only a few weeks away from starting a new academic year. The latest variant is making a growing number of children sick, with Arkansas Children’s Hospital this week reporting its largest number of patients with COVID-19.
