MCC Booth at the Puerto Rican Festival 2014


MCC at the Puerto Rican Festival 2014

Once more The Diversity Council sponsored the MCC booth at the Puerto Rican Festival. This year marked the festival’s 45th anniversary making it the longest running ethnic festival in Monroe County.

Our experience promoting MCC within the Latino community has been amazing. This year, volunteers including staff, peer leaders, alumni and students answered questions regarding admissions, the programs MCC offers, and gave high school students checklists to get ready for college.  About two hundred people visited the booth over the weekend, including alumni who shared their positive MCC experiences.

Thanks to the generous contributions of the MCC community, MCC booth visitors were able to receive MCC brand items.
