The Resource Committee members will be presenting three information sessions this semester:
Wednesday, February 13* 12:00 - 1:00 pm BC Empire Room
Friday, February 15 12:00 - 1:00 pm DC Board Room 400
Thursday, February 28 12:00 - 1:00 pm BC Empire Room
*Faculty Senate Conversations
All faculty and staff are invited to these panel presentations to learn more about how each of us can assist students in this important non-academic developmental area.
As noted on the list above, the committee has created a Resource Guide that is attached. The two lists are extensive but not complete. There are other resources available for students on campus, so this guide only provides a partial listing. If you would like to add any resource to the list, please email us.
Many thanks to the entire MCC community for your countless efforts to help students overcome all insecurities they face.
