Benefits of a Liberal Arts Education
David Langlois, a former music major who discovered a knack for computers and information technology at MCC, recently won $1,000 for successfully pitching his new tech business concept. He nearly withdrew from the entrepreneurial competition before finding last-minute inspiration from Shakespeare.
One of the Best
Muskegon's Anthony J. Kolenic Jr. ranks among the nation's finest attorneys. For each of the past 16 years, he's been listed among the Best Lawyers in America in his field of Employee Benefits Law. The Michigan Super Lawyer also advocates for education.
New Careers in Time-Honored Technology
When the recession claimed the jobs of Ken Visger and Monica Deboef, they became first-time college students as adults and, soon after, graduates coveted by West Michigan firms seeking their RPG computer skills learned while at MCC.
Racing to the Future
"Electric vehicle development is going to blow wide open in the next five years," says MCC automotive tech instructor Allen Thomas, who's helping MCC students get on the ground floor. He teaches them about alternative fuels and helps them construct world record-setting electric vehicles.
Strength to Face Challenges
"All my challenges in life have taught me about the struggles that other people have and how I might be able to help them," says MCC alumna Christina Perez, a registered nurse with Community Mental Health. She uses her experiences to advocate for the developmentally disabled and those challenged with mental illness in our community.
