MESA, Arizona–September 10, 2015—The public is invited to tour the recently completed Mesa Community College Enrollment and Student Success Centers on Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. to noon. Following an Opening Ceremony attendees may enjoy tours, activities and festive food.
“MCC is proud to offer the public an opportunity to view the dramatic changes to our campus,” said Dr. Shouan Pan, MCC President. “These changes reflect one of our core values, that of student success. We are dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of our students and our community.”
Designed to centralize enrollment services and specialized student support services, the project consists of a new 17,000-square-foot Enrollment Center and the extensive remodeling of existing adjacent buildings. The project was funded through the Bond Initiative approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004.
In the newly-constructed Enrollment Center, students have easy access to Admissions, Records, Advisement, Registration, Financial Aid, and Cashier’s Services all under one roof. The Center includes a new Quick Advisement area that assists students who have general academic questions.
The Student Success Center houses a number of student services including Multicultural Services, Career Services, Counseling, Disability Resources and more. The Kirk Student Center, originally built in the ‘60s, houses updated Student Government offices, Student Life & Leadership and the cafeteria.
