A lot of good happened at @MineralAreaCC in 2021! Here are some of the highlights, it will be a long thread!
We broke ground on an 80,500 square foot Workforce Innovation and Education Center that will provide training and skills development for current and future industry employees in the region.
Truly the first of its kind for post-secondary education within 100 miles.

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.

This year has been rough but there was some good news, here are some things we accomplished at @MineralAreaCC this year! Still a lot to celebrate in the #YearOfTheCardinal! A thread…
Corrected missed salary step. All employees saw an increase in salary to start the new academic year in 2019, a correction of a previously skipped scheduled increase. #YearOfTheCardinal

Today we welcomed back our faculty & staff to @MineralAreaCC. I had the pleasure of providing the State of the College address. This thread will provide highlights of our 2020 agenda. It's great to have everyone back! 2020 is going to be a great year for MAC! #YearOfTheCardinal
The State of the College is GOOD! Financial audits show we are in good shape. We will focus on optimism and financial responsibility/accountability moving forward. We can always get better & we have work to do but @MineralAreaCC is in good shape this year! #YearOfTheCardinal

The first week of classes here at @MineralAreaCC, some instructors asked their students to write down their thoughts on why they chose MAC and how it is going. Those statements (anonymous) were given to me in their own words. Here is a thread of some examples...#POMAC@MineralAreaCC "My online classes make it easier for me so I do not miss too many classes if my kids are sick. I've met a lot of great people so far and I look forward to the semesters ahead of me"
@MineralAreaCC provides great resources and course options for non-traditional students! #POMAC

My first presidential address to the @MineralAreaCC faculty and staff went very well! Such great people to work with, I can't wait to meet them all. I was able to present my vision for the future of MAC today and some of my key points are in this thread, enjoy! #POMAC@MineralAreaCC Salary Equity
Making a basic cost-of-living increase each year a priority goes a long way in valuing people. Money doesn't equal happiness in employment, but feeling valued does. Knowing your place of employment cares enough to make this a priority is priceless. #POMAC
