Students from Spectrum Club, Americorps S.C.H.O.L.A.R.S., and the College Success class met recently to plan upcoming seminar.
Are the basic necessities of child care, housing, transportation, food, and even clothing holding you back from completing your academic goal at MWCC?
Imagine if these resources were offered for either a reduced rate or entirely free. Students can find out more about these services at the College Success Seminar on March 22 from 10 to 2 p.m. in the south cafeteria.
This event was organized by Gail Kaddy, Associate Director of Academic Success Services, and set up by the Spectrum Club, Americorps S.C.H.O.L.A.R.S., and the students of the College Success class. These individuals decided on everything from what non-profit agencies will attend to the location, date, and time. The emphasis, as student Anne Ramsey stated, is that “nothing is out of the question.” These College Success students said the event is not just for students, but also for faculty and staff, who might better understand the problems that MWCC students face on an everyday basis. Attending the seminar will be 25 nonprofit agencies, all offering either free or reduced rate services. Some of these agencies include: WIC, Child Care Resources, Spanish American Center, Catholic Charities, Veteran housing, Mass Rides, Community Action Centers, and M.O.C.
