School #9 Students Visit the Downtown Campus

On November 28, 2018, over 60 sixth graders visited the Downtown Campus from Martin Luther King School No. 9 for a College and Career Exploration Field Trip. After a brief MCC welcome, a culturally diverse panel of MCC personnel, alumni, and a current student shared their personal stories discussing their upbringing, high school and college experiences, and career interests. The students asked thoughtful and insightful questions during the panel and throughout the event. After the panel, the students were divided into work-groups to explore Snap Circuit kits and were joined by the panelists and others to continue their discussions.

This event was organized and co-sponsored by the Downtown Campus Student Engagement Center, School of Applied Sciences and Technologies, and the Latino Empowerment Network. The continued collaboration and everyone's cooperative spirit made the event wonderfully successful and we look forward to more events in the semesters ahead!
