Do You Know a Retiring Colleague You Would Like to Nominate for the Legacy Honor?


Inspired by Randy Pausch’s “The Last Lecture”, the Series is a platform to honor retirees and enable the college to benefit from the experiences of our most wonderful employees, both faculty and staff.   These presentations will be videotaped and become part of our permanent institutional history. As such, they are meant to provide the most respected members of the MCC community an opportunity to leave a meaningful, lasting message to inspire those still pursuing professional and academic journeys at the college. If you know anyone who is planning to retire or has recently retired, please get in touch with Carmen Powers at "mailto:cpowers@monroecc.edu" and look for more information on the Faculty Senate website. We are planning to provide more information on that site in the coming weeks as well.

The honorees will have an opportunity to share their most meaningful experiences and impressions. Last year, Bonnie Connell spoke of the history and growth of MCC during the time she worked here, and Jim Petrosino gave insights into the quality of leadership. Friends and family were then invited to a reception with refreshments.

This event is planned to be part of the Scholar’s Day celebrations. It is a truly wonderful honor.
