fall enrollment

The MCC fall enrollment is experiencing double digit growth for the 3rd year in a row. As exciting as that is, it also creates challenges to students and staff.

Students are finding that classes fill faster than they are accustomed, and the classrooms seem to have shrunk with all the bodies. The academic chairpersons were feverishly recruiting new faculty to teach all the new course sections that were added.

Our facilities and maintenance staff were also very busy renovating and adding new classrooms; stop in to take a look at the fresh, new spaces.

We are fortunate to have been able to make these facilities upgrades this summer. After the bond election failed last November, we did not receive the funding source for new construction and renovation. We searched for funds in other places. Due to aggressive fiscal review, we were able to put together the funding required. We also searched the campuses for underutilized space for classroom locations, and have created fresh, new classrooms.
