How to Succeed in College
如果你是MCCC的新学生，欢迎你，如果你是继续学习的学生，欢迎你回来. 秋季学期的第一天对一年中剩下的时间起着不可或缺的作用. Here are a few suggestions to start the year off right.
- Take the time to get to know your faculty. 你的老师是你成功的最佳资源，他们希望你成功. No one knows how to succeed in a course better than the professor. All faculty have office hours; utilize this time to introduce yourself, ask questions and find out more about their professions.
- Get involved, join a club, participate in college activities, and form a study group. 研究表明，积极参与校园活动的学生更有可能在课堂上取得成功.
- Develop a plan to succeed. Schedule study times and stick to them. MCCC投入了大量资金，以确保你有很好的学习和工作的地方.
- Don’t miss class. 这里的规则很简单，不缺课的学生往往比缺课的学生做得更好. 如果你确实错过了一节课，在课前通知你的老师，并讨论你需要做什么.
- Get to know your fellow students, and make friends. 在校园交朋友的学生往往更有动力，得到更多的社会和学术支持.
- Do not wait until you are in trouble to get help. Make regular appointments in our Student Success Center. MCCC offers free tutoring and skills help for all students.
Campbell Academic Center Opens
8月24日，学生们将在新改建的坎贝尔学术中心开始上课, the first day of Fall Semester.
Among the updates are the addition of numerous student study rooms and collaboration spaces; physical and technological improvements to classrooms, including the addition of an active learning classroom and computer lab; the addition of a writing lab, student media lab and an art gallery for students and the public; a transformation of the library into an expanded Learning Resources Center that creatively merges access to traditional library services with media and instructional support, as well as collaborative learning spaces; a renovation of the building’s small theater, and the addition of new entryways, exterior seating “walls” and outdoor gathering areas.
With the renovation, the facility now has 53,279 square feet of space, an increase of 1,015 square feet, all of which was added to the first floor. The project cost $11.6 million, 所有这些都是由门罗县选民通过的维护和改善计划资助的.
“新的坎贝尔学术中心是一个专门为学生和他们的成功而设计的设施,” Lynette Dowler, MCCC Board Chair, said. “它已经转变为一个协作学习和教育探索的中心，完全专注于当今学生的需求, as well as students of the future.”
Student Survey - Lunch on the quad or the atrium?
Monroe County Community College has a picturesque campus, which begs the question: Where’s the best place to have lunch? A survey was sent out to students to ask that very question. Two options were given: 1) The central campus mall area, or 2) The open-air courtyard in the Warrick Student Center
The central campus mall came in first with 17 votes. The courtyard was close, with 15. 学生们决定他们更喜欢在山坡上野餐，原因不难理解.
一定要尝试这两种方法，并将您的想法和未来的调查建议发送到 steelghost22@gmail.com 你的话题可能会被选为下个月的MCCC“时事通讯”.
