For too many years, the growth model allowed MCC to sit back and wait for students to come to it. And students could afford to bypass college, given that there were jobs. But given the times now, MCC needs to become more of a presence in Mesa, especially at Mesa Public Schools, in order to convince students that 1. college is a sound investment in their future 2. MCC is the place for that investment to start. MCC can work in partnership with Mesa schools at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels to establish a presence so that more students from Mesa, and Mesa schools especially, think seriously about attending MCC.
