President's Message

Dear MacCormac College and Friends,
 
I'm delighted to welcome you to the first edition of The MacCormac Difference, our new monthly e-newsletter. Our aim is give you a snapshot of life on campus and keep you updated with the latest news of our students, staff and faculty, alumni and partners.
 
The fall semester is a special time of year. As the new school year begins, and we greet faces old and new, it reminds us that fall is an opportunity to set new goals, overcome challenges and scale new heights.
 
This is one of the most exciting and inspiring times in the College's history as we boost efforts to increase student success, improve the quality of learning outcomes, and position exemplary customer service at the heart of all we do.
 
Our e-newsletter is just one way in which we will keep the entire MacCormac community informed about what is happening at the College. We value your thoughts and feedback on how we can best inform you.
 
I invite you to take a moment to enjoy the first issue of The MacCormac Difference.
 
Best regards,
 
Dr. Marnelle Alexis Stephens
President
