I am a former student & a current Academic Advisor here at Mesa Community College. The college has physically changed a great deal between my time as student till now as an advisor.
Currently, MCC is under going more reconstruction to design more student space for engagement and learning. As a whole I believe this is a institution that does truly regard student growth & development as a vast importance. Does this always occur in proxy? No.. Thus I will say use this place as an opportunity to seek out those resources that apply to you & are available.
Student life & Leadership/ Multicultural services are without question the most under utilized departments on the campus & provide a wealth of knowledge, advising, support & relationship for growing and continuing minds.
While I cannot speak for the mass majority my responsibility as an educator is to provide you with each tool necessary to succeed regardless of personal endeavor.
