College Community and Volunteers Make 15th Annual 5K Walk/Run for Scholarships a Success!
The MCC Foundation thanks the members of the 5K Planning Committee for their
outstanding effort to reconnect students, faculty, staff, retirees, alumni and
friends to MCC. Together, we held a very successful Homecoming walk/run
raising $20,385 in support of student scholarships at MCC. We are
grateful to all our partners within the college community that made it
possible.
Just over 500 walkers, runners, donors, sponsors and volunteers participated
in the 5K either in-person or virtually. Scholarships totaling $5,000
were awarded via Facebook Live to student winners: Alexandra Campman,
Anamaria Hernandez Socha, Elizabeth Hofer, Latasha Horne, Jordan Loewke, Callum
O’Neil, Anne Pyrak, Casey St. Clair and Jessi Subik.
Highest Fundraisers were: the Engineering Leadership
Council and Travel Club for highest fundraising MCC club or organization and
Owen’s Red Racers was the highest fundraising team. Other award
winners were: Alexandra Campman and Khalid Babiker who won smile every
mile and the Lap for Linda team won for best team spirit.
5K Walk/Run top finishers were: Joshua Ward and Allie
Sgromo, first place male and female finishers; Kevin Sheehan and
Jana McCutchan, overall alumni; Michael Laviani and Rachel Harvey-Patrick,
overall students and Chris Kumar and Kate Robinson, overall employees.

The day ended with an alumni art exhibit and closing reception in the Mercer
Gallery featuring works by alumna and printmaker Claudia Mejia-Willett.
