Page 5 - MCC 2019-2021 Strategic Plan

TO OUR
COMMUNITY
Mott Community College began as Flint Junior College in 1923. We are fast approaching our Centennial Anniversary. Over the decades, MCC has grown, developed, and adapted to meet the needs
of our ever changing and extraordinarily diverse community. The people of Flint, Genesee County, and mid-Michigan have experienced boom times
and recession, growth and decline, prosperity and adversity. Through it all, however, our community has remained resilient, scrappy, and ever hopeful. And so
it is with “the community’s college” – MCC.
We are pleased to share with you this document – under
the label “Mott Strong” – that outlines in detail where Mott Community College is headed as we approach our one hundredth birthday. Importantly, it includes a full copy of the College’s recently completed and approved Strategic Plan, covering the period 2019-2021.
This document is the result of many, many hours of discussion and information gathering among Mott students, faculty, staff, and our elected Board of Trustees. It is also the result of at least as many hours of conversations with people and organizations external to the College – business owners, union members, elected officials, nonprofit agencies, neighborhood groups, educators, and the rank-and-file citizens and residents of Flint, Genesee County, and mid-Michigan. We are confident the initiatives outlined here will allow MCC to more fully achieve
our mission and foster a new birth of student and economic success in our region.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees for Mott Community College, we welcome your interest, enthusiasm, and support as we implement “Mott Strong.”
Sincerely yours,
Michael Freeman
Chair, Board of Trustees Mott Community College
