Fall into Civility


Can anyone believe that it is almost the end of October already?  It’s time for pumpkins, mums, golden leaves, and trick or treating. It’s also the perfect time to think about civility.  This year, the Civility Committee is going strong – we have already done a mini campaign in the Terrace/Marketplace area to get the word out about our new logo and new direction.  We have a 2 week traveling campaign about Domestic Violence that started yesterday – it is currently in the North Atrium, but will be in Building 10, the Campus Center Atrium and at DCC within the next two weeks.

As a Civility Committee, we are always looking for ways to make MCC a more courteous and safe place to visit, work and go to school. We created a new logo which we believe embraces the community in a more positive way – making our committee “The Civility Project” and keeping it an ongoing campaign throughout the year instead of only focusing on civility one or two times.  We are very excited about some of the initiatives that we are working on!

If you have ideas for the Civility Project, please feel free to share them, or if you already have civility-related projects occurring in classes or with your clubs/orgs, let us know! We would love to partner with you or bring light to your events as we promote civility every day on campus.

So this fall/Halloween season, as you are handing out candy and hopefully smiles and cheerfulness, think of how we can create a cheerful, respectful atmosphere on our campus and let us know your thoughts!  Also - watch out for us on campus and support our campaign! 

Thanks!
