A Sense of Duty
MCC sophomore Hope Buell, a 2012 All-Michigan Academic Team Award recipient, possesses a list of achievements both academic and philanthropic.
Achieving her dream
Recent MCC alumna Mayra Sanchez takes pride in being the first member of her family to attend college. "MCC provided me with an accessible and affordable opportunity to start my career," said Mayra. "I really did not know much about college, so starting here seemed less intimidating."
The Great Outdoors
1994 MCC graduate Steven Rinella, a well-known author, travel writer and outdoor television host, credits MCC instructors for teaching him to explore his writing passion. "I was always interested in writing about the outdoors," said Steven."I just didn't know how to go about it."
Discovering Her Potential
Attending a community college wasn't even on Chloe Andrews' radar screen as a high school honor student. But a last-minute switch in her family's plans to relocate left her scurrying for "a back-up" college. Chloe's choice of Muskegon Community College "changed her life for the better."
A Lifelong Learner
Miguel Vasquez gives lifelong learning a whole new meaning. The 93-year-old MCC student just finished his first children's short story and is planning another.
Influencing By Design
MCC sophomore Laura Shaler's national award-winning graphic design will help pay for her college studies and also provide meals for the less fortunate in the Muskegon area.
A Grandparent's Pride
His Finnish-born grandfather taught Scott Hichue to bowl when he was five. Aaron Sherman's late grandmother envisioned bowling greatness for him. In March, the two Jayhawk teammates became National Junior College All-Americans.
