Monroe Community College

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

Monroe Community College will be closed today, July 3, in observance of Independence Day. 🇺🇸 Have a great long weekend!

MCC has received reaffirmation of accreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education! Thank you to everyone across MCC and in our community whose dedication and collaboration made this achievement possible. Together, we remain committed to excellence and student success. #SUNY #InvestedInYou

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. 🖤❤️💚

Hard to believe it’s already been a week since our 2026 Commencement Ceremony! 🎓 Here’s to the Class of 2026! 💛🖤 Photo courtesy: Blnd Abdullah

Monroe Community College is closed today, May 25, in honor of Memorial Day. We pause to remember and honor the brave individuals who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

Proud to welcome NYS Assemblymember Alicia Hyndman to the Brighton campus. The Chair of the Committee on Higher Education toured MCC's nationally recognized Optics Program and met with @DrDeAnnaBNanna and members of her Executive Leadership Team. We are grateful for her commitment to advancing higher education and supporting SUNY Reconnect. We look forward to continued collaboration! #SUNY

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!

Congratulations to MCC Board of Trustees member Gladys Pedraza-Burgos! We’re proud to see her honored by @News_8 as one of this year’s Remarkable Women. Her leadership, dedication, and commitment to our community make this recognition truly deserved. Learn more: rochesterfirst.com/remarkable-wom…

How can employers play a role in strengthening New York’s optics workforce? That’s the focus of a panel discussion at the NY Workforce Connect industry meetup on April 16 at the #FWDCenter. Panelists include @MonroeCC's Dr. Robin Cole Jr. Get tickets: nyworkforceconnect.com/meetup

We were honored to host SUNY Vice Chancellor for Community Colleges Valerie Dent at MCC, joined by Lauren McCabe and Dr. Ronalyn Wilson. They toured our library and our nationally recognized Optics and Nursing programs, and learned how we’re removing barriers to student success. @SUNY

MCC was well represented at #INN26INDY! Proud of Siva Visveswaran, Dr. Robin Cole Jr., Dr. Calvin Gantt, Gretchen Wood, and Julianna Frisch for showcasing our commitment to innovation and student success. #InvestedInYou

We’re proud to be expanding our child care services to better support student parents starting Fall 2026!
