    Mark your calendar.

    The next MCC Community forum is Wednesday May 22, 6:30PM-8PM, C.O.R.E. Center (District 47) Conference Rooms A and B, 300 Commerce Drive, Crystal Lake.

    The purpose of the forum?

    From the MCC website:

    “MCC welcomes the community to attend its community forums and hear what the College is doing to move higher education forward and contribute to a vital community.”

    “Each forum will include a panel discussion on new MCC initiatives, as well as an opportunity for participants to ask questions.”
