“Monroe Community College is a stronger community because of the rich diversity of our students, faculty, and staff. When one member of our community is harmed or feels unsafe by world events, we are called to provide whatever support we can to help them through difficult times. By supporting each other, we inspire from the inside out.<\/p>\n
“MCC cares about and offers support to students, faculty, and staff who are impacted by the attack on Ukraine. We recognize that members of our community may have family and friends\u2014here in Rochester and abroad\u2014for whom the current situation creates a great deal of stress, fear, and anxiety. Rest assured that you are not alone.<\/p>\n
“MCC\u2019s Counseling Center and Disability Services<\/a>\u00a0staff at both the Brighton and Downtown campuses are ready to respond to students in need. International students can also contact the Global Education and International Services (GEIS<\/a>) department.
