Thirty retirees will be honored by Mott Community College (MCC) at virtual recognition event on Oct 22.
Retiring with more than 695 years of service amongst them, the 2019/20 retirees represent every department from health sciences to fine arts and student success services, to workforce development and public safety.
“The commitment and dedicated service our 2019/20 retirees have given the college during their tenure has left a lasting impact on students’ lives and on the college, especially this year as we transitioned quickly to tele-work and tele-learning due to COVID-19,” said MCC President Dr. Beverly Walker-Griffea.
