Wow! What a year our 2022-2023 fiscal year was! We saw so many successes, a clear testament to our faculty and staff’s commitment to our region’s students. This past June, we were named one of Kentucky’s Best Places to Work, and that is a title we take great pride in. Everyone at Team MCTC goes the extra mile to support, engage, and educate our students while simultaneously treating one another like family. We share in learning opportunities, lunches, and laughs, and MCTC is a place where our employees enjoy working.
One annual event we always look forward to at MCTC is our annual Service Day, where our employees go out into their communities and volunteer in various capacities. This year, our employees visited nursing homes, animal shelters, local school districts, and other groups. At MCTC, we don’t just want to be an organization that is in the communities we serve, we want to be an organization that is a part of the communities we serve. We are already looking forward to our 2024 Service Day!
A message from the President
Dr. Laura McCullough
Another exciting event that we held in 2023 was our Commencement Ceremony. Graduation is the most important event we host and my personal favorite because the impact we make as a college is clearly seen. This year was the first year in several years that we held a ceremony for the entire college that all the campuses attended. We selected our Montgomery Campus in Mt. Sterling for this year’s commencement, and it was so wonderful to see all our graduates together in one place celebrating with one another. We plan to rotate our commencement each year between two campus cities (Mt. Sterling and Maysville) with arenas capable of hosting such tremendous crowds attending what is by far one of the best days of the year! This academic year, the college awarded 383 associate degrees, 1,692 certificates, and 111 diplomas to 1,267 graduates. We are so proud of all our graduates and look forward to what they will accomplish!
Last fall, MCTC launched the Four Disciplines of Execution. With 100% employee involvement, MCTC’s Wildly Important Goal is to increase the
number of awarded diplomas and degrees from 513 to 650 by June 15, 2025. We appreciate the hard work our employees are putting in each day to help us reach this goal, and we know that the success of this goal will improve the communities served by MCTC.
As always, we are so thankful to our community partners and donors who support the mission and vision of our college. Because of that unwavering support, we can provide the highquality educational experience that we take such pride in at MCTC. This year alone, nearly 200 unique gifts were made to the college, which directly supports the experience our students have while they are on campus, whether through scholarships, emergency funds, or other needs. We are appreciative to our donors for the effect their generosity has on our students.
Now, on to 2023-2024!

In their own Words
INTERNSHIP LEADS TO CAREER SUCCESS FOR MCTC GRAD
Former Army veteran Rafael Roca is an inspiration for aspiring Information Technology (IT) professionals after successfully launching his career at Traditional Bank in Mt. Sterling. Roca graduated from the Computer and Information Technology Program at MCTC in 2020.
His first exposire to a future career in IT was during his time in the US Army. After completing his time in the Army he decided to attend MCTC due to the smaller class setting and more hands-on approach.
Roca’s instructor at MCTC, Sharon Staviski, recommended him to Traditional Bank in Mt. Sterling for an internship, where he now works as an IT Systems Technician.
“ “
Getting hands-on experience is critical. Not only does it give you a chance to learn on the job, but it also allows you to network and make connections in the industry.
After attending a larger four-year university I decided I wanted a more personalized experience with smaller class sizes at MCTC. It feels like home here. “ “ MARY BAILEY Class of 2023 PRACTICAL NURSING
