Wikipedia: Monroe Community College

Monroe Community College (MCC) is the local community college, although it has a national reputation for excellence among community colleges. It's known for having an amazing array of professors for a community college and being the largest community college in Upstate New York. In fact, it is the largest college of any kind in Upstate.

MCC is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Curricula are registered and approved by the New York State Department of Education.

The College is a member of the League for Innovation in the Community College. The League provides direction and leadership for experimentation and innovation in two-year colleges. Its members are recognized as the best community colleges in the United States and Canada.

Established in 1961 as a unit of the State University of New York (SUNY), Monroe Community College was established to address the concern of community leaders about the need for nurses in the Rochester area. MCC began then and still today prepares students to work in local hospitals and health care facilities. MCC became part of the State University of New York system, and its program offerings were expanded to prepare graduates for a wide range of job fields or transfer to four-year institutions. MCC’s first class - 720 students - enrolled in September, 1962. Since then, enrollment has increased steadily and new programs continue to be added to meet the changing requirements of the local community.

MCC’s Housing and Residence Life program was launched in 2003 on the college’s Brighton Campus and was expanded in 2007. The residence hall complex is named for Dr. Alice Holloway Young, a pioneer of Rochester public education and a founding trustee of MCC¹.

The student paper at MCC is called the Monroe Doctrine

Approximately 50,000 people have received MCC degrees; more than a quarter of a million people have taken one or more MCC courses.

MCC’s Brighton Campus is located on a 300-acre site at the junction of routes 390 and 590, just outside the city limits of Rochester, New York. The wireless campus includes technologically-advanced academic classrooms and learning facilities.

Opened in September 1998 (as the ESL Sports Centre, later Sports Centre at MCC), the four-rink Bill Gray's Regional Iceplex, located on the southeast corner of MCC’s Brighton Campus, is a practice facility for Rochester’s professional hockey, lacrosse and soccer teams. The Iceplex also serves the entire Rochester community through a broad range of activities including open skating, hockey league games and learn-to-skate classes.

The multi-faceted Public Safety Training Center - a partnership of Monroe County, the College, state and local public safety agencies across the area - opened in 2001 at 1190 Scottsville Road. The facility trains nearly all of the area's police and corrections officers, firefighters and emergency medical personnel.

In early 1997, MCC opened the Applied Technologies Center, a 53,000-square-foot facility that houses programs in automotive technology; heating, ventilation and air conditioning, optical fabrication and precision machining.

In 1992, the College opened its Damon City Campus at 228 Main Street, in downtown Rochester. The Damon City Campus is home to MCC’s programs in human services, law and criminal justice and teacher education and offers a breadth of liberal arts courses. The campus also houses distinctive programs for the community including Gateway to College at MCC and the Science Technology Entry Program. On October 21, 2015 a ground breaking ceremony was held at one of the buildings of Kodak headquarters to redevelop and move the downtown campus in 2017.
