Chat w/ the Dean

Don't miss Chat with the Dean. Dean Hamblin will be meeting with students to discuss a "smoke free MCC" and retaining student access to the H drive. She will also have open time for any issues student wish to bring up. If you can't make the chat today in the student lounge (400 building) at 2:00, catch one Monday at 3:30pm or 6:30pm in the student lounge. Hope to see ya there!

Transfer Information Week

Mark it on your calendar. MCC is holding transfer information week 2/28-3/3. On Thursday, Mar. 3, college and university reps will be on campus to answer any student questions. If you're wondering about course requirements, scholarships or anything at all, these reps can help you. NAU, SUU, Chamberlain College of Nursing, Colorado Technical University, Grand Canyon University and University of Maryland University College are sending reps to talk with you. Other institutions have sent printed materials you can pick up at the same time. Don't miss out on this opportunity.
Meeting a person who's experienced the campus and the school culture is invaluable in forming a clear perception of what it will be like to attend the school. The web and phone conversations are not the same, especially on aspects like student life. Come meet the reps face-to-face, you won't regret it!

Seniors Hit Campus!

Yesterday was Senior Day. Local high school seniors came to MCC (see Academic Chair John Cawley hanging with the students) to learn about MCC programs and college in general. Director Of Student Services Brandon Boulter also shared gems with them regarding financial aid and how to choose the right college to fit their goals. As an added bonus, the students got free lunch - pizza, chips and pop. I always like seeing the students on campus as their exploring the next step in their lives. Seemed like they had a good time and appreciated the information they were able to glean from our presentations.

Welcome Back

Wow, everyone is back on campus as the first week of classes gets underway. SAC Pres Helena Darger served free chips and hot dogs to hungry students and staff (like Fern Batemen) during our Welcome Back event. This week has gone pretty smoothly so far, fortunately. I think everybody is settling into the new semester fine.

And We're Back

What a great holiday and now it's back to work! I hope everyone had as wonderful a holiday as I did. I went to watch the Utes in the Vegas Bowl and, though the game was kinda dismal for my team, I had a good time.

Now we're back to full swing registration. See Leysi busily helping students. It will be nice when registration is done and we've got student back on campus for classes.

Holiday Concert
