We're proud to receive nearly $500,000 from New York State to launch MCC's/@FWDcenterNY's new Food Processing Technician Training Program.
This initiative will prepare participants for careers in the food processing industry while helping strengthen New York's agriculture and food systems workforce.

This week, students at both our Downtown and Brighton campuses joined President Dr. DeAnna Burt-Nanna and members of MCC leadership for Pancakes with the Prez!
Events like these are just one of the many ways we build community at MCC. From sharing a meal and getting to know our leadership to creating spaces for students to connect with one another, we’re always looking for ways to help our students feel connected, supported, and part of the MCC community.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made both mornings so sweet!

This morning, I joined @MonroeCC in commemorating the 25th anniversary of 9/11. It was a meaningful opportunity to honor the lives lost, remember those impacted, and recognize the bravery and sacrifice of our first responders. Thank you to the students who organized this meaningful event and helped ensure we never forget the strength, resilience, and unity of New Yorkers.
At MCC, we're expanding access to education, preparing students for in-demand careers, and removing barriers to success.
SUNY Chancellor John B. King Jr. visited campus to learn how these efforts are creating opportunities for students and meeting workforce needs across our region. @SUNY

Monroe Community College will be closed today, June 19, in honor of Juneteenth. Juneteenth marks a powerful moment in history: the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in the U.S. were finally freed. It’s a day of freedom, resilience, and joy. 🖤❤️💚

We’re proud to share @DrDeAnnaBNanna's latest commentary in Community College Daily, the American Association of Community Colleges’ online news service. In “Leading True Systemic Change: Relevance, Momentum and Student Success,” she offers a powerful reflection on what it takes to create meaningful, sustained change in community colleges—always grounded in student success and purpose‑driven leadership.
Exciting progress continues on our Sydor Optics Advanced Technology Center! Recently, President Burt-Nanna, the Board of Trustees, and the Executive Leadership Council toured the site to see firsthand how this transformative project is taking shape. We’re looking forward to the opportunities this space will create for our students and community!
