Avangrid Foundation and RG&E Continue 13-Year Support of MCC Assist
Please share with students:The Monroe Community College Foundation welcomed representatives from the Avangrid Foundation and RG&E to campus yesterday to recognize 13 years of partnership supporting MCC students.
The Avangrid Foundation recently contributed $50,000 to the MCC Foundation, bringing their cumulative giving to $650,000. Their support helps fund MCC Assist, the College’s emergency microgrant program, which provides financial assistance to students experiencing unexpected financial hardships that could interfere with their ability to remain enrolled.
During their visit, representatives from MCC, the Avangrid Foundation and RG&E toured the campus and met with College leadership to learn more about the impact of the partnership and the importance of emergency financial support in helping students persist toward graduation.
Thank you to the Financial Aid Office, Office of Student Leadership and Development, Office of Campus Events, Community Relations and Sodexo for helping ensure it was an impactful and inspiring visit!
