Honor a Colleague with a Seat in the MCC Theatre

The end of the academic year is a great time to honor or memorialize a fellow employee who has inspired you. Why not name a seat for them in the MCC Theatre?

Janet Waasdorp, a professor in the Department of Education and Human Services, recently named a seat in honor of Dr. Joan Mullaney, who is retiring from MCC after 49 years of service. This is what Janet shared about Joan:

"The willow bends but does not break.

Joan is a strong, principled woman who has unselfishly served the College for 49 years. She is also an innovative leader, tireless advocate and loyal coworker. She is modest, humble, gracious. She is a strong ally and as such sets and reaches high standards both for herself and for those around her. Joan also has a keen wit and sense of humor. I have never known her to be in a bad mood and certainly it is impossible to have a bad day when she is near. She has made an important difference in my life and as she retires I think it only right that her work, personality, hope and enthusiasm be memorialized. They truly broke the mold once Joan was born. She is one in a million and I will miss her very much."

The MCC Foundation offers two simple and convenient options for naming your seat in the Theatre. Use payroll deduction giving to make your pledge today!

  • Lower level seats: $10.42 per pay period ($10.42 x 48 pay periods = $500)
  • Upper level seats: $ 30 per pay period ($7.30 x 48 pay periods = $350)
  • Annual, semi-annual and quarterly billing is available for those who do not wish to use payroll deduction.

In recognition of your support, a plaque bearing your name, or the name of someone you choose to honor or memorialize, will adorn one of the theatre's seats for a minimum of 15 years.

The MCC Foundation is grateful for the generous donors who have named seats in the MCC Theatre. Together, we have raised more than $25,000 to support the Visual and Performing Arts Department and its students. Thank you!
