Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Dr. Alice Holloway Young

On April 26, our community lost a founding trustee, board chair emerita, trailblazing educator, and lifelong champion of excellence – Dr. Alice Holloway Young.

Dr. Young's legacy at MCC is enormous through her extraordinary leadership during her 63-year service on the Board of Trustees and her generosity in support of students. She shaped the direction of the College and provided leadership that saw MCC become the premier institution it is today. Because of her lifelong work and her belief in the power of learning, the local community and the lives of over half a million students who walked through the halls and classrooms at MCC have been transformed.
