MCCC’s mission is a broad statement of our organizational scope, purposes and operation that distinguishes us from other colleges, universities and organizations. Our vision is a picture of the future we are working to create – what we want MCCC to become. And, even though we frequently talk about mission and vision first, the basic underlying foundation for both our mission and vision are MCCC’s core values. These values guide our attitudes and guide our behavior.
