I am pleased to invite you to register for “Student Success at Scale: Guided Pathways” – the sixth event in our Essential Discussions: Conversations at Monroe Community College series. The Essential Discussions series explores topics that are shaping the post secondary agenda.

MCC will host this daylong colloquium on Tuesday, February 23, 2016. It will provide opportunities to engage in conversations about how colleges are rethinking their organizational structures and implementing clearer academic pathways to support student success. The event will be held from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm in the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center on MCC’s Brighton Campus.
