Welcome to the The Peer Assistance Resource Center (PARC)

Visit us in our new location in Building 3, Room 120!

Part of the Campus Center, MCC's Peer Assistance Resource Center is staffed by Peer Mentors, students who have undergone extensive training in college information and leadership skills. Peer Mentors guide students through the Orientation programs which are held during the summer and in January. They are also available to assist students during the regular semester.

In the PARC, students will find directions to and from various campus locations, the times and places of meetings for many of our clubs and organizations, and a schedule of events complete with important dates for the semester. Campus maps are also available. The PARC offers pamphlets and brochures on a multitude of subjects ranging from leadership skills to success strategies.

In addition, the PARC has a great deal of information on the many co-curricular opportunities on campus. If you have any interest in finding out more about MCC's clubs and organizations, the PARC can provide you with the information to get you started.

The Peer Mentors also provide many different programs throughout the year on a variety of wellness topics. From Violence Prevention in the Community to Eating Disorders, the Peer Mentors staff brings in experts to talk with the student body about issues that affect their lives every day. In Decembe of 2003, to celebrete World AIDS Day, the Peer Mentors sponsored several pieces of the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. This very successful event drew crowds from both the college and the local community.

The Peer Mentors welcome each and every student to visit the Peer Assistance Resource Center. If a friendly smile and an encouraging word will help get you through the day, we encourage you to stop in and say, "Hello!"
