Celebrating the Women of Excellence

This year MCC was fortunate to start a new initiative that recognizes the potential talent and leadership of our women of color.  Acknowledging the success with MCC’s “Men of Excellence” program under the direction of Milladge Griffin, “Women of Excellence” seeks to develop and demonstrate strong personal and interpersonal competences that will guide these students to success at MCC and the Rochester Community. Within a short period of time, these students have built positive relationships based on trust, respect, dependability and honesty.  Our mission is to inspire young women of color beginning with five key elements; Academic support/readiness, Financial Literacy, Professional Development, Community Engagement and Health and Wellness. This year these young women efforts demonstrate the positive influence and impact women have in our community every day.  Our recipients of a $500.00 scholarship are:

Teja Brown                         Chanya Bryant

Ashley Doud                       Kiana Keller

My Linh Le                           Shauna Marr

Brianda McEwen              Mai Phuong Nguyen

Ruby Noboa                       Denaresh Quinones

Nhu Tran                             Tamaya Volmy

On behalf of the Office of Diversity/Equity and Belonging we would also like to thank Brittany Granville and Marisol Reyes advisors (Educational Opportunity Program) and the many supporters of this initiative.
