Media Coverage of First Day of Classes at Downtown Campus

TV and radio reporters visited MCC's new Downtown Campus early Tuesday morning (9/5) as MCC students and employees walked through the doors before the first classes began on the first day of the fall 2017 semester. The news media outlets asked MCC members for their thoughts on the campus.

13WHAM News (Channel 13) did a live broadcast on campus for its morning news show with interviews of Dean of Students Dr. Ann Topping and MCC student / SEGA President Daniel Skerritt:
