RBJ Highlights Single Moms Success Initiative, Guon Center Accreditation

Earlier this week, the Rochester Business Journal highlighted MCC's work in the Single Moms Success initiative and the Guon Child Care Center's recent reaccreditation. Its article also announced MCC's participation in a new documentary produced by WorkingNation.

Quote from Dr. Burt-Nanna on student success:

“We know from all the research that occurred across higher education that when students feel connected, when they feel a sense of belonging, when they identify with others in affinity groups like them, it leads to better outcomes. … We want to make sure that the holistic needs of our students are met,” MCC President DeAnna R. Burt-Nanna said in “Challenging odds: Single moms at Monroe Community College,” one in a series of newly released films produced by WorkingNation on what several U.S. colleges are doing to help single-mom learners persist and graduate.

Quote from Angela Colt on the NAEYC reaccreditation:

“We are proud to maintain the mark of quality from NAEYC and to be recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards,” said Angela Colt, director of the center. “I am proud to work with a talented team of dedicated teachers who tirelessly provide exceptional care and an engaging, safe and effective learning environment for children. Because of our team, we are able to contribute to the success of MCC student-parents.”
