On behalf of our faculty and staff, welcome to Monroe County Community College in Monroe, Michigan.  Here are some of the things our students say we are known for:

• Promoting excellence in teaching and the value of learning
• Student access to the people and services they need to be successful
• Technology is up-to-date and well-supported (wireless campus)
• Nice campus (both in Monroe and the Whitman Center)

As President, I personally invite you to visit our beautifully landscaped campus in Monroe, Michigan, located on a 250 acre site dominated by trees and meadows. City buses run to the campus from the town center every 30 minutes. For students in the southern part of Monroe County, MCCC offers classes at the Whitman Center in Temperance, Michigan.
  
Monroe is located on Interstate Highway 75, a half hour drive from either the Detroit airport or Toledo, Ohio.
  
While big cities are close by, Michigan is known for it’s great lakes and camping facilities.   Sterling State Park for fishing, boating, and sailing is just east of Monroe on Lake Erie.  In addition, Cabelas, the world’s foremost outfitter of hunting, camping, and fishing gear is located nearby in Monroe County at Dundee, Michigan.

Historically, Monroe attracts a lot of visitors because it is the site the War of 1812 that took place on the banks of the River Raisin.  The American victory came a year later on Lake Erie when Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry led American forces in a decisive naval victory at the Battle of Lake Erie which gave the United States complete command of all the upper lakes.

If you visit our campus, our faculty advisers will welcome you for a tour of the campus. Registration information is available on-line at www.monroeccc.edu.

Sincerely,

David E. Nixon, Ed.D.
President
