Quotes That Inspire: Living MCC's Vision

Join me in taking a deep breath and saying, “We made it!” We stayed healthy and safe and so did our students during the fall semester.

Who would’ve believed when we started in February that our “Quotes That Inspire” series would conclude during the same week a COVID-19 vaccine was made available to New Yorkers? Our 2020 journey has been remarkable!

Today’s inspiring quote is one that originated with you—the faculty, staff and administrators of one of the top community colleges in the nation.

“Monroe Community College will be the nationally-recognized leader in championing equity, opportunity, innovation, and excellence while transforming students’ lives and communities.” – MCC Vision Statement

We need look no further than MCC’s vision statement to guide us as we enter a new year and write the next chapter of MCC’s success story. As higher education professionals and collectively as a college, you are living your vision as champions of equity, opportunity, innovation, and excellence. That’s why MCC will continue to play an integral role in student lives and in our region’s economic and societal recovery following the pandemic.

By staying safe together, we have shown how much we care and that the success of community college students matters. Thank you for inspiring every day.

Please join me at today’s virtual MCC Town Hall at noon. In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy this video masterfully produced by John Frontuto of MCC’s Instructional Technologies Department.
