Happy New Year! Most of us in higher education start our new year in July and @MineralAreaCC is no exception. It hasn't been the easiest of years but some good things did happen...a thread.
2/13 We improved polices to provide greater equity for our general services crew. I am really proud of this one, it seems strange but they didn't get the same time off every year as all other employees. Now they do.
3/13 MAC partnered with the @MineralAreaFAA to provide music and theatre for the community and rebuild the arts programs at @MineralAreaCC. This is a very exciting development and we are very thankful for their involvement and support.
4/13 We were able to add and renew articulation and transfer agreements with multiple institutions so students can have a clear path to a four year degree after MAC.
5/13 The @MACmbball team went to the national tournament for the 3rd time in program history, but the first time ranked #1 overall. Undefeated regular season, @NJCAA Player of the Year @LeonsMalevy, and an outstanding team GPA.
6/13 MAC had one of the best Covid-19 responses in the region and our employees did a great job supporting the mask and distancing policies. We were able to host multiple vaccine clinics and due to the measures taken we were open all academic year and had very few cases.
7/13 We completed the plan for a new 80K square foot career and tech training facility on campus. We were approved for $5M from the state of Missouri to help with this project. This will be huge for workforce development in the region.
8/13 College Park, our residence halls, were full for the first time in a decade.
9/13 Funding was approved from the MAC Foundation to kickstart the new MAC E-sports program. We are excited to get started!
10/13 In 2019 we started men's and women's soccer. I'm proud to say that program did not cost MAC a penny. It has returned +100% of it's expenses back to the college in enrollment, housing, fundraising, & other revenue. Currently, 50 students are signed to play at MAC in the fall
11/13 Men's @MACRunningCards won the @NJCAA National Title for the second year in a row and were recognized on the floor of the Missouri House of Representatives.
12/13 MAC won several awards at the annual @MCCATweet Convention in 2020 - Senior Service, Governor's Award for Teaching Excellence, and Faculty Innovation.
13/13 MAC is a great place to work and go to college. I am so proud to be a part of an institution that recognizes others, works hard to serve the community, and provides affordable, accessible education for all.
We are just getting started.
