Bond Presentation Focus of Fall Board Meeting
Foundation Board members attending the quarterly Board meeting Sept. 15 at the MCC Conference Center heard a presentation from Dr. Dennis Michaelis about the $74.5 million MCC bond proposal on the Nov. 7 ballot.
Michaelis shared information about MCC’s enrollment growth since 2000, its need for additional space in Science, Health Careers, and Emergency Services Training, and overall campus improvements. According to Michaelis, if MCC continues to grow at only half of its average historical growth rate of 6 percent, it will
need space for more than 10,000 students by 2015. Currently, fall enrollment stands at almost 8,000 students.
In other business, the board heard a report on the Foundation’s Marketable Investments, which currently total more than $5.3 million. Harry Harelik also reported on the progress of the First Generation College Student Initiative and efforts to sustain and expand the program
