Thomas Saelens, Site Manager
The taste of spring is in
the air…hopefully soon.
As you thaw out after a
winter of weather
discontent, please take
some time to prepare
class registration for the
upcoming semesters.
Spring, Summer, and Fall
semester registration will all open on
Tuesday, April 1, 2014. With over 20 years
of higher education experience, I have seen
the benefit of students that plan ahead. They
get better selection of classes, are more
relaxed, less stressed and feel positive about
their options. They even have lower
cholesterol and longer life expectancy (no
proof on these last two but why not be
positive).
Every student should take advantage of the
spring to examine their academic needs for
the next full year and make decisions
regarding their attendance and class
selection for the three semesters that have
open registration. I would recommend each
MCC student consider the following. If you
do this before registration April 1, you can
have your classes pre-approved and
registration will be much easier.

With a MCC Counselor or by yourself,
review your program of study. Determine
which classes you have left to complete and
create a class rotation or schedule for each
semester that you plan to attend to
complete your MCC degree.

Make sure you look at when a class is usually offered, especially if it is only offered
limited times of the year.

Make sure if the class requires a prerequisite that you have that planned into
your class rotation.

If your Fall and Winter semesters will be
difficult or requires a heavy credit hour
load, consider taking one class during
this spring and/or summer semester to
make
future
semester
more
manageable. By taking a Spring and/or
Summer class you can reduce your Fall
and Winter requirements.

If you meet with the Counselor before
April 1st, make sure they complete and
sign
your
“Class
Registration
Worksheet”. This allows you to register
on April 1st, by simply turning this form
into the NTC staff.

Take classes at the NTC (Clio) Branch
when possible.
It saves time and
money in travel expenses. Student
enrollment at NTC is the best way to
expand future course offerings.

Make sure you file your 2014-15 FAFSA
(Free Application for Federal Student
Aid) as soon as you have your 2013
Income Tax information available. This
new financial aid will be used for
Summer & Fall semesters of 2014.
Completing the FAFSA form early is
your best chance to maximize your
financial aid award and limit any
obstacles.

I hope to see you continue your
success at MCC and the Northern Tier
Center. Thank you for making our site
a success in the community. If you
need any assistance or have question
please stop in and see me or my staff.

The FBI’s national security mission is to lead and coordinate intelligence efforts that drive
actions to protect the United States.
Our goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the threats penetrate national and
transnational networks that have a desire and capability to harm us. Such networks include:
terrorist organizations, foreign intelligence services, those that seek to proliferate weapons of
mass destruction, and criminal enterprises.
Federal Bureau of Investigation
In order to be successful, we must understand that threat, continue to integrate our intelligence
and law enforcement capabilities in every FBI operational program, and continue to expand our
contribution to the intelligence Community knowledge base.

Hello:
I am Officer John F. Keahey; I’ve been a police
officer for nearly 26 years and retired from the Flint
Police Department in May of 2009. During my
career I’ve worked in many different areas of Law
Enforcement including: Special Operations Bureau,
FBI Safe Streets Task Force, Investigations
(Internal Affairs), and Interim Chief of Police.
Dress in several layers of lightweight
clothing, wear mittens and a hat
(preferably one that covers your
ears).
Wear waterproof, insulated boots to
keep your feet warm and dry and to
maintain your footing in ice and
snow.
Minimize travel. If travel is necessary, keep a disaster supplies kit in
your vehicle.
Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or
other local news channel for critical
information from the National
Weather Service (NWS).
Winterize your vehicle and keep the
gas tank full. A full tank will keep the
fuel line from freezing.
Insulate your home by installing
storm windows or covering windows
with plastic from the inside to keep
cold air out.
Maintain heating equipment and
chimneys by having them cleaned
and inspected every year.
Bring pets/companion animals inside
during winter weather. Move other
animals or livestock to sheltered
areas with non-frozen drinking water.
Running water, even at a trickle,
helps prevent pipes from freezing.
All fuel-burning equipment should be
vented to the outside and kept clear.

Cold Related Emergencies:
Frostbite and hypothermia are two
dangerous and potentially life-threatening
emergencies. Learn how to care for
these emergencies by taking a first aid
class.


After a VERY SHORT retirement I started working
for Mott Public Safety in September of 2009. I’ve
spent the last few years working at Main Campus,
Work Force Development Center and with high
school students as the School Resource Officer for
Mott Middle College. I really enjoy working here at
Mott Community College and consider myself very
fortunate to have met so many wonderful people
the past few years.

Migel Gatica, is a certified police officer with 24
years of Law Enforcement experience. He retired
from the Flint Police Department in June 2009.

Officer Gatica has been with the Mott Community
College since September 2010 where he was
assigned to work at the Southern Lakes Branch
Center. He was assigned to work at the Northern
Tier Center winter semester 2012.
Their work schedules are (Monday-Friday) 7:30 am-3:30
pm and 3:00 pm - 9:30 pm and their office is located in
Room 109 across the hall of the Computer Lab.
