President's Wednesday Message


Every day is a “national” day for something. According to the National Day Calendar site, this week alone brings us everything from Gingerbread House Day to Violin Day to Bouillabaisse Day to Cat Herders Day to Barbie and Barney Backlash Day. Clearly, something for everyone.

At MCC, we don’t need a year’s worth of made-up holidays to know that every day is special and worth celebrating. Each day that our students come to our College to learn, to grow, to overcome, to persist, to believe, to transform their lives is a gift. Each day that you come to our College to teach, to mentor, to counsel, to help, to enrich, to inspire is a gift.

When the gifts of our students meet up with the gifts of our faculty and staff, magic happens. A year in the life of MCC is a calendar filled with millions of moments that add up to life-changing momentum.

As the end of 2016 nears, I thank you for all you have brought this year—and bring every year—to our students, our College, our community. May 2017 bring even more inspiring days to us all.

Anne M. Kress
President
