The Tassel is Worth the Hassle!


Join MCC’s Phi Theta Kappa for the Complete to Compete event on Friday, March 21 at 11:00 a.m. in the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center Atrium. 

Did you know that within the next 10 years 67% of jobs that provide livable wages will require a college degree? (cccompletioncorps.org) Or that only 19.6% of all 52,306 counted community college students in New York state graduated in 2010, (collegecompletion.chronicle.com.)  That means that 80.4% did not complete.  Don’t become a statistic!

Join us Friday from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. in the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center Atrium to encourage your students to commit to completing their degrees! Students who participate in the Wear your Major costume contest and will be entered to win a MCC Bookstore gift card.  See you there and remember the tassel is worth the hassle!
