Longview
Parent Info
President's Welcome
As a father of two recent college graduates I understand your excitement - and apprehension - concerning this next important step of your son or daughter's life. This is an exciting time - full of an unlimited range of possibilities.
Let me assure you that your son or daughter is off to a great start by enrolling at MCC-Longview. Longview is the first community college ever recognized by Time magazine as College of the Year for 2001. This recognition was given for the college's Writing Across the Curriculum program, a program that helps all students develop effective writing skills. Longview has received a number of other national recognitions for quality programs, activities, and services. But most importantly, Longview is recognized for preparing students who perform well at four year colleges and in the workplace. Isn't that what we all want from a good college experience?
At Longview our focus is on student success. That means providing students with quality courses and programs, and by providing student-friendly services to support students' academic and career goals. Recently Longview was selected as one of ten community colleges in the nation to participate in the Foundations of Excellence in the First Year of College program. As one of these ten colleges our faculty and staff have spent two years assessing and improving our work with first year students. We're committed to doing everything possible to help your son or daughter get off to a great start.
All of us at Longview are here to help your son or daughter explore, establish, and reach his or her goals. You are an important partner in that journey - and we're here to support you in that important role. Please call on us when you need our help.
Sincerely,
Dr. Fred L. Grogan
