Foundation Launches New Mission Statement
At its September meeting, the board formally approved a new mission statement for the MCC Foundation. Developed by a committee comprising board members Jill Jones, Kris Olson, Dr. Darrell Slette, and Foundation staff member Kim Patterson, the mission statement encompasses the purpose and passion of the organization:
The McLennan Community College Foundation promotes quality higher education that enriches the academic, economic, and cultural life of our diverse community. To further this mission, the Foundation acquires financial resources and strengthens support to fund scholarships, professional development, and capital improvements for the students, faculty, and staff of the College and the broader communities it serves. In so doing, the Foundation hopes to enhance quality of life, encourage success, and positively change the futures of students and their families.
The new mission statement will be featured in an upcoming informational brochure due out this fall.
