Presidential Search

The Muskegon Community College Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that the search for the next college president has begun. The Board is committed to conducting an equitable, participatory, inclusive and fair search that will attract a strong pool of presidential candidates from throughout the region and across the nation. We are committed to a process that will allow us to keep the college community informed and involved. We will make every effort to keep the College informed through the distribution of regular progress reports, posting information on the College’s web page, and formal reports during the regular meetings of the Board.

The College
MCC is a public, comprehensive, open-door college.  The College offers the first two years of a baccalaureate education, transferable to four-year colleges and universities, and a full complement of over 80 occupational/technical programs, associate degrees, and certificates for direct entry into career fields.

In addition, the Stevenson Center for Higher Education offers partnership programs with classes on the MCC campus for bachelor and master degrees from Grand Valley State University, Ferris State University, and Western Michigan University.  MCC also partners with other four-year institutions to give the students numerous options for their educational advancement.

The District/Region
MCC is located on a picturesque 111-acre suburban site in the northeast corner of the city of Muskegon.  One of the largest Michigan communities on the shores of Lake Michigan, Muskegon offers an exceptionally high quality of life due to its proximity to cultural, recreational, education, sports and entertainment opportunities.

The College district area includes not only the county of Muskegon, but the southern half of Oceana county, the northern portion of Ottawa county, and the western portion of Newaygo county.  The College was established in 1926.

The economic base of manufacturing, service, tourism, and agricultural interests has evolved over the the past few decades due to local leaders' concerted efforts to diversify.  Once dominated by heavy industry, characterized by high pay/low skill jobs, the Muskegon economy is now better able to weather business cycles.
