On September 23, 1923, the first group of students began taking courses at Flint Junior College (now MCC) in the still small, but rapidly growing City of Flint. One hundred years later, MCC is still changing lives for the better by providing high quality, accessible and affordable educational opportunities to what is now the Greater Flint community and well beyond.
MCC celebrated its centennial during a weekend of festivities that included a Lecture and Concert Series, the “Mott, Motown & More” Celebrity Lip Synch Show and Centennial Dance at the Capitol Theatre, a community parade through Downtown Flint and a festival and open house on the main campus featuring music, games, food trucks, a car show, tours and more. One of the highlights was a concert performed by the Dave Bennett Quartet in the Mott Memorial Building Auditorium. The celebration wrapped up with a fireworks display in Flint’s historic Kearsley Park.
The community turned out to participate and enjoy this momentous occasion and a great time was had by all!
