Mott Community College will honor 25 retirees at virtual recognition event on Nov. 4.

Retiring with more than 589 years of service amongst them, the 2020/21 retirees represent 12 departments across the College. They come from different disciplines, different departments, and sometimes different campus locations, but what they all have in common is a passion for helping students and a commitment to student success.

“The commitment and dedicated service our retirees during their tenure at MCC, especially during the COVID pandemic, has been extraordinary, said MCC President, Dr. Beverly Walker-Griffea. “I know they have made a lasting impact on students’ lives, but their legacy is not just the success of the individual. It can be found in the long-term impact their work has had on making our community stronger one student at a time.”
