A few grads from the class of 2025 were home from college today and stopped in to give advice to seniors in Ms. Putnam Genz's MCC Strategies for Success class.
They shared their experiences so far in various majors from trades to STEM to education to human services to healthcare to public safety to finance, and in private, community, and regent colleges. They have advice on academics, time management, finances, friends, overcoming obstacles, and ensuring the experience is the best it can be.
A huge thank you to each of these students for sharing!
We hope to see more back soon!
