MCC received a $5,000 grant from the MS Community College Board for non-traditional recruitment and retention for its innovative program, Experience the One: Occupations Not Usually Explored by Non-Traditional Students.
Kimberly Rush, associate dean of advising, retention, and student success, shared how motivation can drive success in various aspects of their lives, both in and out of the classroom.
"With orientation, students can check out our campus but also learn of all the support available," said Katie Barrett, Meridian Community College dual education coordinator.
By invoking the words of the iconic civil rights leader, speakers at MCC's MLK Commemorative Celebration reminded the audience true character is revealed in times of challenge and controversy, not in moments of comfort.
