Celebration of Life for President Emeritus R. Thomas Flynn

With deep sadness, MCC announced the passing of its fourth president, R. Thomas Flynn, on April 10. President Emeritus Flynn began his career with MCC in 1974 as the Vice President of Student Affairs, a role he held until 1994. From 1994 to 1999, he served as Vice President of Student and Administrative Services and Chief Financial Officer. In 1999, he was named MCC President. Five years later, in recognition of his 30 years of extraordinary service, MCC passed a resolution designating the campus center on the Brighton Campus as the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center. President Emeritus Flynn retired as the College's longest-serving officer in 2008.  

All are invited to attend a Celebration of Life for MCC’s fourth president, R. Thomas Flynn, on Friday, June 13 beginning at 10:00 a.m. in the MCC Theater. For more information and to RSVP, please visit the MCC webpage honoring his legacy.

We hope you will join us as we celebrate the life of this visionary leader whose dedication to student success and access to education helped shape MCC into the institution it is today.
