Huizenga Congratulates Muskegon Community College on its Commitment to Excellence

Yesterday, Congressman Bill Huizenga (MI-02) congratulated Muskegon Community College on being recognized as a national leader among two year higher education institutions. Additionally, Congressman Huizenga discussed how Muskegon Community College is continuing to build on its success and strengthen opportunity for Muskegon County and West Michigan. 



Congressman Huizenga:

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Muskegon Community College as a national leader in two-year higher education institutions. MCC, located in Muskegon, Michigan, offers classes at state-of-the art facilities throughout the West Michigan region.  

Under the leadership of my friend, President Dr. Dale Nesbary, the students, faculty, and staff have all collaborated to reach great heights. As a result of these efforts, MCC was recently ranked the top two-year college in the state of Michigan. 

MCC has excelled in part by emphasizing academic achievement, investing in high-quality facilities, and developing apprenticeship training programs 

Last year, Graduates of the Nursing Program ranked first in the country on the Registered Nursing Licensing Exam, achieving a 100% first time pass rate. 

Currently, MCC is seeking to build on its success by investing in the most significant facilities upgrades in its history. Through this unique apprentice training program, students work to earn a skills trade certificate with the option to complete further classes to achieve an associate’s degree. 

I ask my colleagues to please join me in honoring Muskegon Community College as they continue to raise the bar and provide high-quality educational opportunities for students in Muskegon County and across West Michigan.
