welcome to the start of a new semester

It's almost here! The start of another semester. Wow! The summer has passed so quickly.

Several of the campuses have had renovations which involved relocating several familiar classrooms for a few programs. Be sure to check the room numbers carefully to avoid the embarassing situation of walking into the wrong class. I recall my own "redfaced" experience of doing just that many years ago.

The faculty have returned to campus; this year we have several new members of the faculty spread across the college. Please pass along a friendly welcome to our newcomers!

I hope all of you get off to a great start to this exciting new academic year!

TGIT----!

The summer hours at MCC are almost over for all of us. No more Fridays off after this week. Started the day at Lake Havasu High School with dual enrollment students. Students that were juniors last year are all looking so mature this year----and they have all their paperwork done! Wow what I difference a summer makes! Thanks guys I appreciate all that work!

Dual Enrollment one of my favorite times of semester

Lake Havasu High School has gone back to class and this is one of my favorite times of year! I love working with the LHHS students on their dual enrollment classes because I get to meet so many students with really wonderful and ambitious dreams of where they are going after high school. I don't think that at their age I was that ambitious about my future and career choice. Wow!

Welcome back faculty

Faculty,

Welcome back to campus!

We had a very busy summer as we planned for the start of the fall semester. The new ITV system is up and running; be sure to attend the training sessions so you will feel comfortable on the first day of class. An Angel upgrade has a few new twists and turns that I'm sure you will be interested in knowing more about; training sessions are also scheduled.

Many new staff have joined the college at each campus, please give them a warm welcome as you meet them in your travels about campus. Also, we ask for your patience as they learn their new roles.

Welcome-back luncheons sponsored by the Foundation are scheduled on each campus. See you there!
