President's Welcome

Welcome to the 2011-2012 academic year at MCLA!  I look forward to seeing you on campus in the classroom or lab, on the playing field or in the stands, in the gallery or on stage, and working and learning in the community. You will find faculty and staff across the campus ready to work with you and eager to do all that they can to help you make the most of your college experience, right from the start. We all take great pride in your success and your accomplishments!

The MCLA board of trustees, faculty, and staff are dedicated to creating and sustaining the very best learning environment for our students. One of our great strengths is our close-knit community, which provides us the opportunity to get to know our students and for you to know us as well. Together, we build a strong community for living, learning, playing and working, one that challenges students to excel and succeed, and prepares you for the challenges and opportunities beyond MCLA.

This Student Handbook is a useful resource to guide you throughout the year. It includes important information about MCLA policies and procedures, details on co-curricular activities, and a listing of people to contact to address specific questions or concerns. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. The faculty and staff are here to guide and support you. We want to give you the information you need to make your time at MCLA enriching, enjoyable, and successful.

Once again, I welcome you and wish you all the best for what promises to be an exciting and successful academic year.

Sincerely,
Mary K. Grant, Ph.D.
President
