The 2021-22 Muskegon Community College President’s Speakers Series: Lessons in Leadership, which concluded on May 10, 2022, featured individuals selected by MCC President Dale K. Nesbary for their impact on the growth of his professional career. Dr. Nesbary is retiring this summer after 44 years in higher education, research, and public policy work, including 13 years as the college president.
“The Lessons in Leadership series is intended to allow colleagues from education, the public sector, business, and the community to share their ideas on the state of higher education, offering solutions to issues that we face daily,” explained Nesbary, when creating the series. “Their solutions will take the COVID-19 pandemic into account as well as other pressing issues with which they are familiar.”
