A LETTER FROM THE MCC FOUNDATION

Dear friends and supporters,

It’s hard to believe that graduation is fast approaching, and another quarter is coming to an end. If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that we need to appreciate each season of our lives. It is a pleasure to celebrate this season of transition at Metropolitan Community College, and I am excited to look ahead at what the upcoming academic year will bring.

In this issue of Community, you’ll learn more about how the MCC community is making a difference. You’ll meet Seth Redding, an MCC alum who completed his degree debt free and with full-time employment at Lozier Corporation through an industry-reponsive partnership. We celebrate our alumni and how they continue to have an impact on MCC students. I hope you enjoy learning about the current student and alumni using their creative talents and technical skills to excel in our Digital Interactivity and Media Arts program. Our MCC community continues to thrive and overcome adversity at every turn.

You will also learn about steps we are taking to enhance our programs through the addition of the MCC IT Express location, conveniently nestled in the budding Millwork Commons community in north downtown, a vibrant hub for tech, art and design. You will get a peek into some of the unique offerings that we provide through our Continuing Education classes and the summer of savings available to Nebraska high school students through the no-cost CollegeNOW! offering.

We have a lot to be proud at MCC, and I hope you enjoy learning more in this issue. Thank you for being an important part of this season and our community.

Sincerely,

Amy Recker Executive Director, MCC Foundation Associate Vice President for Advancement
