Office of the President

Incidents involving police violence, racism and discrimination do not reflect the type of College community we strive to build and are contrary to MCC’s values of integrity, excellence, empowerment, inclusiveness, collaboration and stewardship. MCC provides access to academic study and economic opportunity on safe, welcoming and inclusive campuses. Led by Dr. Calvin Gantt, VP, Diversity, Equity and Belonging and Executive Director, Downtown Campus, MCC fosters dialogue and takes action on equity and empowerment to effect change. Incidents in Rochester and across the nation remind us that we all need to be part of the solution. We are all responsible for ensuring an equitable and welcoming learning environment for the full diversity of our community. 

As a College, we take our roles and responsibilities as educators seriously, and we recognize that the sense of family that MCC provides to our community is needed now more than ever. As we remain focused on achieving educational equity, we must stay attentive to our students and their path to success. We must act on our values with purpose and integrity and live them every single day. This is how we move forward, together.
