From the Chief Academic Officer
Headshot of Tuesday Cooper, Interim Dean of Academic AffairsWe’re excited that you have chosen to join our community of learners. As you may know, MCC has several award-winning and professionally accredited programs such as culinary arts and hotel-tourism, music, radiography, surgical technology and business. Also, MCC can help you prepare for the workforce through our business office technology, dental assisting, occupational therapy, health and exercise science, and computer game design and graphic design programs. If you aspire to begin your college education in a cost-efficient manner and transfer to a baccalaureate institution, MCC can assist you in that endeavor as well. We have several transfer ticket programs with the Connecticut State Universities and articulation agreements with private colleges in Connecticut. You can study one of our many programs in business, English, chemistry, biology, liberal arts and general studies, just to name a few, to help you begin along that path.
While on campus take advantage of the tutoring center, use the library and the computer rooms, and visit your professors during office hours. Our professors are top notch and will challenge you to reach your full potential. You can view their profiles on the faculty pages under the Academic Divisions tab on the MCC website.
At MCC, your potential is endless. Go do what you were created to do. Thank you for making Manchester Community College your college of choice. We are here to serve you, so please let us know how we can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Tuesday L. Cooper, Ed.D.

From the Chief Student Affairs Officer
Headshot of Peter Harris, Interim Dean of Student Affairs and Enrollment ServicesOn behalf of the Student Affairs Division, I want to personally welcome you to Manchester Community College. Our division is designed to support you from the moment you arrive on campus, all the way through to walking across the stage and receiving your diploma. These services include: admissions, registration, financial aid, advising, counseling, transfer counseling, career services and placement, first year and new student programs, mentoring programs, recruitment and retention services, services for students with disabilities, assessment testing, veterans services, commencement, the bookstore and food services. These areas, along with many others on campus, provide support, knowledge and assistance that will aid you in your pursuit of your academic goals.
The best piece of advice I can give you is to create a place for yourself here at MCC. Find someone on campus you can connect with and learn from; someone that can help you navigate the sometimes rocky path of education without stumbling. MCC staff and faculty are always willing to serve their students in the best way possible. We all want you to be successful, so please ask us how we can help!
It is important to establish yourself with staff or faculty and research shows that students who engage in co-curricular activities are more likely to be successful in college. So join a club, go to a campus event outside of classroom hours, or stop by a student-run show on campus. You will be supporting your fellow students and building a lasting relationship with MCC!
This is your college and, now, it is a part of your educational journey. Do everything you can to experience it fully. I hope you have a great year!
Sincerely,
Peter C. Harris
Interim Dean of Student Affairs and Enrollment Services
