MACOMB COUNTY This past fall was a much different experience for Macomb Community College students.
Instead of hustling to class, getting to know their instructors in person and meeting up in the student center for lunch and conversation, their education was conducted virtually online because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While it presented challenges, students persevered and this month, MCC held its 103rd commencement ceremony in a virtual format. College officials awarded approximately 2,400 associate degrees for the 2020 academic year for the fall, summer and winter semesters. The virtual ceremony is available for viewing at the college’s website, www.macomb.edu.
