Student Life @ MCTC

In lieu of a student handbook / planner this year (MCTC students decided to "go green" and fund other initiatives this year), Student Life will be sharing information about events and deadlines in a few other ways:

* MCTC Website (on current students page)
* Table Tents - "See What's Happening at MCTC" weekly calendars as well as individual table tents that may be reserved by student organizations and campus departments (through Student Life)
* Monthly Calendar / info sheets (1/2-full page) - the first monthly calendar is below
* City College News - monthly issues (they hope to publish their first issue in early September)

If you would like a planner, the Bookstore is selling a planner for less than $5 and they have a few different options that are between $5-10.

Please mark your calendars for these important dates and deadlines:
