School #9 Students Visit the Downtown Campus
On November 28, 2018, over 60 sixth graders visited the Downtown Campus from
Martin Luther King School No. 9 for a College and Career Exploration Field
Trip. After a brief MCC welcome, a culturally diverse panel of MCC personnel,
alumni, and a current student shared their personal stories discussing their
upbringing, high school and college experiences, and career interests. The
students asked thoughtful and insightful questions during the panel and
throughout the event. After the panel, the students were divided into
work-groups to explore Snap Circuit kits and were joined by the panelists and
others to continue their discussions.
This event was organized and co-sponsored by the Downtown Campus Student
Engagement Center, School of Applied Sciences and Technologies, and the Latino
Empowerment Network. The continued collaboration and everyone's cooperative
spirit made the event wonderfully successful and we look forward to more events
in the semesters ahead!
