From our beginnings as a two-year women’s college, we’ve transformed significantly and evolved to meet the changing needs of our students. But one thing has remained constant: our commitment to providing higher education for diverse populations.
We want to see our students rise to their creative and intellectual potential, develop their own sense of personal growth, and chart their unique path to professional success. Equally important, we want them to be engaged members of their communities.
We embrace our responsibility to create a welcoming and accessible community built on our core values and beliefs. Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan, along with the President’s Task Force for Racial Equity and the Advisory Committee for Inclusivity, have set specific goals for addressing issues of inequality.
The amazing classes taught by brilliant professors gave me the knowledge needed to step into a full-time role at a company. Furthermore, the fact that the college was in NYC made me independent, courageous, and open-minded.
#MMCProud! 🎓 Commencement season at MMC continues today, with students in our college programs at the Bedford Hills and Taconic Correctional Facilities for women set to graduate. President Walk will confer their degrees at ceremonies taking place this morning and afternoon. MMC has been the sole degree-granting institution at Bedford Hills for 25 years, awarding more than 275 degrees. In 2019, the College began partnering with @hudson_link to award degrees at Taconic. See the link in our bio to learn more about MMC’s #prisoneducation programs and our recent Crossing Borders academic conference held at Bedford Hills and pictured above!
