  • The professors at MMC are what really made my experience enjoyable. The passion, dedication, and expertise that they projected created an environment where everyone wanted to succeed.

    Meet Brooke
  • I have been interning at New York University Langone Health Center’s Environmental Pediatrics Department to aid in their Children’s Health and Environment Study (CHES). This study is the initial part of the larger NIH-funded Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) study, which aims to shed light on how environmental exposures during early life can impact long-term child health outcomes.

  • I started at MMC as a B.F.A. acting major, but soon realized that I was really a director at heart. The flexibility of the Theatre program...allowed me to study directing AND acting, as well as musical theatre and new play development, giving me the tools to begin my directing career right out of school.

    Tom Wojtunik ’02

    2002, Major in Acting and Directing
    Former Artistic Director, Astoria Performing Arts Center

  • Interning with the artist Wood-Brown was an experience that I will always cherish. I assisted Jo in preparing her lecture circuits, a group exhibit at The Painting Center, and a panel discussion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I feel fortunate to have developed an understanding of the artist’s perspective through this internship.

    Aileen Marcantonio ’09

    Class of 2009, Major in Art History

  • My experience at MMC challenged me not only to study the basic sciences in a typical linear sequence, but rather to integrate coursework in sociology, language, and philosophy into the Biology major courses.

One of the perks of being a Business student in NYC? The internships! Michelle Ledezma ’25 takes us along as she heads into her internship at the financial services company SMBC. A Finance and Management major and Economics and Accounting minor, Ledezma said the position and her courses keep her busy, but she loves how she's bridging her class work with real-world practice. "It's really nice that I can go to class and learn the principles and the foundation but then actually use them in my internship," she said. #GoGriffins #NYCCOLLEGE #accountingstudent #businessstudent

#MMCProud! Our extraordinary alums are doing extraordinary things! Here are some recent updates from the classes of 2023, 2019, 2016, and 2013. 🔵 Jasmine Ramos ’23 was a production assistant for "BARBA: A Brazilian Body Percussion Musical," which ran last month at the Pregones/Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre.

Dance Magazine recently interviewed Mattie; check the link in our bio for the story! 🔵 In January, Chelsea Pollack-DeRario ’13 was named VP, Head of U.S. People & Culture, for Axel Springer, which owns Business Insider, Politico, Morning Brew, and Insider Intelligence. She began her career in Human Resources and Recruiting at BuzzFeed in 2013 and was the head of People Operations at Cheddar Inc. before joining Axel Springer. 🔵 Tony Russo ’19 recently made his Off-Broadway debut in Qui Nguyen's drama-comedy "She Kills Monsters" and also served as the show's fight choreographer! 🔵 Dylan Randazzo ’16 is starring in his first Sondheim show, "Sunday in the Park with George" at @AxelrodArts now through March 24.

What’s it like going to college in the world’s greatest city? Yesterday’s Accepted Students Day offered a taste!

Check out these electrifying photos from @mmctheatrearts February production of IN TRANSIT. Be sure to swipe all the way to the end to see two of the musical’s writers (@sara.wordsworth and @jamez111) hanging out with the cast. They were gracious enough to attend the Sat production and stay afterward to chat. They were complimentary to everyone at MMC who put the production together and were impressed because they acknowledge how especially challenging this musical is. Major props to our theatre superstars! #MMCPROUD #GoGriffins #theatre #theatrestudent #NYCCOLLEGES

Dun dun! Griffins, there are a few good reasons to tune into the @NBCLawandOrder franchise: 📸 1-2. Nadia Brown '17 made her #lawandorder debut in last Thursday's episode "Last Dance." Stream it on @peacock! 📸 3-4. Assistant Theatre Arts Professor Aimé Donna Kelly has a recurring role in Season 25 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She plays the no-nonsense Captain Renee Curry. 📸 5. Speaking of the #Lawandorder universe, here's a throwback to last March when Raegan Taylor '25 snapped this pic of the show filming outside Carson Hall. Alums: Let us know if you're appearing on the show, too! �💙 ##GoGriffins

On this #GoodNewsFriday, we've got some great updates to share about MMC students! ★1-2: Senior BFA Dance major Kayla Kemp ’24 was featured on the "Today" show last week, as part of a flash mob celebrating the 40th anniversary of "Footloose." Fun fact about Kayla: In 2022, she received the prestigious Jeannette K. Watson Fellowship, which is awarded to just 15 undergraduates each year.  ★3: Senior MT major Katelyn Harold ’24 just booked her first regional contract! She'll be playing Francine in "Jersey Boys" at the @EngemanTheater this spring. And, with commencement around the corner, the rehearsal schedule allows her to finish all her classes and fulfill her credits. "This experience would not be possible without the support and training I’ve received throughout my time at MMC, and I’m so grateful," she said. ★4: Junior MT major Andrew Maroney ’25 will be spending the summer in Washington with @numericapac playing Lonny in "Rock of Ages." "It is an absolute honor to join this incredible group of creatives on my first professional contract," they said. "I cannot wait to get going with this amazing cast and creative team in just a few short months!" Congratulations! #MMCProud #GoGriffins
