"Once I entered the Nursing program, I was welcomed with open arms. The compassion and enthusiasm those ladies have for teaching is infectious. It drove me to work harder for my goals." Tanya Kolka '21
"MVCC truly helped me realize what I wanted to do with my life. After one semester in [the Health Sciences] program, I knew right away what I wanted to do and where to start. All of the professors and staff helped me reach my goals while I was there. I didn't have to worry or feel like I couldn't succeed because with every step I took, someone was always there." Sarah Costello '22
"MVCC has shaped me to be more of a confident man and helped me to better myself. It helped me explore different options of careers and made me realize that there was so much more for me." Eric Joyce '22
"MVCC allowed me the opportunity to receive a promotion in my career which increased my salary significantly. I was able, as a single mother, to slowly take classes and still be involved in everything my children were committed to, whether it be sports, academic assemblies, or anything else they participated in." Dora Colon '20
"The Nursing program at MVCC did a very good job of preparing me for what real life would be like working as a nurse. From class lectures to hands-on labs and clinical hours, there is not a lesson learned throughout my time in the program that has not been applied to my work as a registered nurse." Jennifer Munn '21
"MVCC gave me the stepping stones I needed to go after my career choice. The machine shop mimics what a normal day on the job would feel like, and it really helps prepare you for what you're going into. I didn't have the machining knowledge when I first started. I had an idea and I was decent at math, but I didn't know much else. Now I am a fully efficient programmer, and they rely on me at my job to produce what's needed, running one of the busiest work centers we have." Joey Lucia '20 '21
"My experiences at MVCC pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me to open up to the community around me. During my second semester, I joined MVCC's chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and met many great people who helped me to branch out and open up more. That encouragement has helped me in my professional life to speak up for myself and participate more in group assignments." Trent Kasmarcik '19
"MVCC taught me problem-solving skills as well as how to maintain concentration during stressful situations. The caliber of professors during my short two years enrolled in the Engineering Science curriculum were peerless. MVCC provided me not only with technical tools but also communication tools to be a successful engineer." Anthony Granatelli '82
"I am busy in the best ways, and without my dream team of professors and advisors at MVCC supporting me, I never would've known that a single 25-year-old mother could attain the level of career development and security that I am able to enjoy today." Sam Brown '19
"MVCC helped shape me into the person I am today by giving me the tools and room to grow on my own. Never being away from home or my hometown, I found great friends that became like family and felt accepted by the MVCC community. MVCC was a time in my life I will always treasure." Lauren Lloyd '18
"Coming from an underprivileged background, I had to seek out resources to support my education. Thankfully, MVCC was full of resources to help students, ranging from scholarships and mentors to leadership activities and community service opportunities." Sabah Haji '21 '22
