Metropolitan Community College proudly honored the courage, sacrifice and service of our nation's veterans, including the students, faculty, staff and colleagues who are part of our MCC family.

Across all five campuses, MCC expressed gratitude through meaningful activities:

  • MCC-Blue River honored missing service members with a Fallen Comrade Table and collected donations for the Veterans Community Project.
  • MCC-Longview recognized veterans with a red poppy display, campus banner and personal gifts of appreciation for enrolled student veterans.
  • MCC-Maple Woods invited students and employees to write heartfelt thank-you cards to veterans.
  • MCC-Penn Valley collected messages of gratitude that were delivered to veterans at the VA hospital.
  • MCC-Online hosted an employee recognition gathering and created a slideshow honoring veterans.

These thoughtful gestures reflected MCC's appreciation for those who have served and reminded us that gratitude extends beyond Veterans Day.

To our MCC students and colleagues who have served or continue to serve, thank you! Your dedication and contributions enrich our college and strengthen our community. We are grateful for your service and proud to have you as part of the MCC family.
