The State of Education in Genesee County - MCC’s Role in Defining Our Community
2011-12 Annual Report

Dear Friends,
We believe the 2011-12 Annual Report will shed light
on the roles of Mott Community College and education in Genesee County and beyond. While we have
celebrated many achievements this year, including
being named one of the top 10 community colleges
in the nation by the Aspen Institute, it is clear that
many people throughout the country are still in the
dark about the necessity of community colleges and
the crisis education is facing. Putting our mission in
perspective with other educational institutions across
the nation has been inspirational. Viewing ourselves
in light of our community’s challenges has been
remarkable.
The mission of Mott Community College is to provide high quality, accessible and
affordable educational opportunities and services including university transfer,
technical and lifelong learning programs that promote individual development
and improve the overall quality of life in a multicultural community.
The fact is, community colleges are growing in
importance all across the nation as we begin to
understand that investments in job training programs
are essential to the nation’s prosperity. Clearly,
community colleges must play a significant role in
preparing workers for emerging jobs.
At a recent Hamilton Project Forum in Washington,
D.C., Alan Krueger, chair of the President’s Council
of Economic Advisers, called the “widespread
Dick Shaink, President
Mott Community College
community college network” a huge advantage in
the nation’s ability to compete globally. “The structural
problems in the job market preceded the economic
crisis, partly because of the skills deficit,” Krueger
said, and this is why retraining is so important.
Combining instruction in trades education with more
abstract courses, such as math and writing, is more
effective than offering just skills training by itself.
Community colleges can do more than train people
for existing jobs; they can be “game changers” by
helping business and industry create new jobs, said
Steven Van Ausdle, Ph.D., president of Walla Walla
Community College in Washington.
We believe Mott Community College is a game
changer, certainly in Genesee County and beyond.
We wholeheartedly agree that the information in
this Annual Report reflects our efforts to change the
game in the lives of thousands of individuals and in
the economic life of our region.
And it shows that we could not have done it without
you. We hope you will help us share with others the
message that the state of education defines the state
of our community.

The Biggest Crisis Facing
our Community
Do we still think of ourselves as one people, with
common shared hopes, whose futures are dependent
on our mutual successes?
Don’t be in the dark
Do we owe it to ourselves to do better and pave a
clear pathway for all students in the community to
become college educated citizens?
The state of education defines the state of our
community.
People in even the best-educated school districts in
Michigan are in the dark about the financial challenge
education is facing.
We are urging you come into the light about
the actual cost per student and the budget of MCC.
We can no longer afford to stay in the dark about
the growing and largely unemployable disenfranchised
individuals in our community. There will never
again be a vast number of jobs for them on the
automobile line.
And many don’t know what to do about it.
We at Mott Community College believe it is
something we should be talking about
ALL THE TIME. Too few of us seem very worried,
and too many students simply say, “We can’t
afford to go to college.”
We at MCC believe students can’t
afford not to.
The State of Education
in Genesee County
National statistics show that more than half of
community college students who were recent high
school graduates did not feel properly prepared for
college level courses.
A weak job market has created a surge in enrollment
at Mott and community colleges nationwide. There is
a growing need for improved skills and job training in
Genesee County and beyond.
Statistics prove that poorly prepared college bound
students tend to be placed in developmental courses,
where many toil and eventually drop out. Half of
community college students nationwide are placed in
developmental courses when they begin their college
studies. Numerous community colleges, foundations,
nonprofit organizations, and even state governments
have tried to address this issue with varying degrees
of success.
As caretakers of the future, we must identify
the ways students learn, and understand the
technological and academic supports they feel
they need in order to thrive for long-term success.
A smaller and smaller percentage of jobs require
only a high school diploma. Unless you are headed
for a career in the trades, a college degree is no
longer a luxury, it’s a necessity.
It has become painfully obvious we need a far
better educated workforce. You can’t get jobs
without educated workers.
Studies show that students who transfer into a
four-year college in their junior year are much
more likely to graduate than those who enrolled
as freshmen, whose graduation rate is only 50
percent.
MCC’s Role in Defining
Our Community
The unemployment rate for college graduates
is only 3.4 to 4.4 percent.
Mott Community College’s mission is to seek a
vital economic solution. We are Genesee County’s
higher education powerhouse.
We believe we have the most efficient and
effective way to graduate from a four-year
academic institution.
As the cost of a college education continues to
defy gravity, more students throughout the nation
are using the community college advantage to
make a four-year degree affordable.
Tuition and fees at Mott are only $108.05 per
contact hour, so spending the first two years at
Mott cuts the cost of a four-year college degree by
almost half.
Community colleges are more agile because we’re
smaller and can rapidly respond to changing
markets.
Class size remains remarkably small, averaging just
over 22 students.
The truth is, if you’re educated, you’re less likely
to be unemployed.
It’s that simple.
Come into the
light with MCC…

“M
ott Community College is
important to the community
today because it offers
education that equips students and
transforms their lives. I am a testimony
of it.”
Eric began pursuing his dream at Mott
Community College of one day working in
a shelter. He credits the instructors and
programs as helping to cultivate leadership
and providing the necessary structure to
achieve his dream. Upon graduating with
his Associate’s Degree in General Studies,
he matriculated to Northwood University
where he obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in
Business Administration. He then received
a Master’s Degree in Organizational
Management from Spring Arbor University.
“Through all that education and training,
I now work at Carriage Town Ministries as
the Director of Men’s Ministries,” Eric said.
“I oversee the operations for food, clothing
and shelter for the homeless population
and I am now an asset to the community.
And a lot of it stems from my experiences
at Mott Community College.”
As an alum, Eric believes Mott has a vital
role in redefining the greater Flint community. He likens the college to a human heart
pumping life to the body that surrounds
it. “Many lives have been blessed and
improved by Mott Community College… It
constantly gives life to the city of Flint.”
Eric noted that Mott continues to grow
at a “very healthy rate,” always investing
and reinvesting in the campuses to make
sure the facilities and programs provide
the best possible quality education and
experience for its students.
Mott College provides a quality education
in state of the arts facilities,” he added.
“It is the best of both worlds.”

W
hen it came to choosing a college,
Danielle Nettleton said the decision
was easy. “Mott is a good starter
college,” she said. When the brochures
started coming to her home, it was clear
that it had the lowest tuition in the Flint
area with the same types of academic
programs offered at other colleges and
universities. “And it was close to home,”
she said.
Danielle is taking full advantage of everything Mott has to offer with hopes of
eventually earning a Bachelor’s Degree in
Communication Technology. Her internship with a local radio station is providing
the perfect complement to the skills she
is learning in the classroom. “Mott has
prepared me for my future by teaching me
the skills necessary to survive out in the
work field.”
Danielle underscored her appreciation for
the efforts at Mott to keep tuition rates
affordable for students. She knows that
without the Foundation for Mott Community College helping to raise private
monies on behalf of students, education
might not be an option for her as she also
is raising a young child.
Is she pleased with her educational
experience at MCC?
“I’m very happy. Are you kidding me?”

Student Government Senator, Women in Education Fellow

by teaching me the skills necessary to

T
eresa understands Mott and its mission to educate
the community it serves. She is not unlike many other
“friends” of the college who not only give of their
finances to ensure that the educational offerings stay
state-of-the-art, but Teresa also volunteers her personal
and professional time whenever she can.
“I think the perception of the community that has not
attended Mott Community College has changed a lot
over the years,” she said. “They now recognize the value
of the community college in this area, the ability to retrain individuals for other jobs, as well as provide sound
education for young adults right out of high school. I
think it has a larger presence in our community now than
it has in the past and it provides a quality education.”
“I didn’t attend Mott Community College and I think that
my perception over the years has changed dramatically.
I now see the importance of a community college in this
area, the good things it does inside the community as
well as what it provides for the community.”
“I feel that although I am not a graduate from here, it
still deserves my support. There is no better gift than the
gift of education. And if I can support this institution by
providing that to others, I feel that is a great thing.”
Teresa said she believes others will become more
supportive when they learn of everything Mott does
for the community as well as the students.
“I think Mott Community College is a gem right in the
middle of our town,” she added. “It is absolutely incredible
to me the number of families and people that Mott
Community College touches. I have seen grandmas,
mothers, daughters all going to school at the same time.
Somebody who has lost their job is being retrained.
Somebody just graduated from high school and is coming to Mott. And grandma, she just wants to learn more
because she didn’t get an education when she was
younger. I think Mott Community College is generational.
My father went here when it was Flint JC.”
“So it has evolved over time and it is a gift that will
keep on giving to our community if we continue to
support it.“
“People can’t always afford to go away for education
now,” Teresa said. “It’s too expensive. And it continues to
skyrocket … I think that people view Mott as an integral
part of the community and see that it has more value
when times are tough in particular.”
Teresa McClelland-Sargent, CFP, CDFA
Owner, Financial & Tax Planning, Inc.
Treasurer, Board of Directors, Foundation for MCC
“I am not a graduate of Mott Community College, however, I think it is one of the
finest institutions in the area. I admire what they do with young people as well as
older individuals in our community. Education is never going away and I think
Mott is here for the long haul and is always going to be extremely important to
the community. I feel it deserves my utmost support. There is nothing better than
the gift of education.”

A
fter more than 42 years of teaching
at Mott, Paul Rozycki understands the
academic institution better than most,
especially its significance in the greater
Genesee County area.
“The impact of Mott students in the
community is remarkable,” the now retired
Political Science instructor said. “If you
take a look around Genesee County, the
leadership positions on almost every
level, you will find a great many successful
people who have been Mott students.
I have been very, very gratified to see a
number of my students go on to elected
offices—some state senators, local office
holders on city councils, county commissions, things of that nature. Mott students
have played a major role in the leadership
of Genesee County.”
Paul firmly believes Mott’s impact will
continue to be significant despite the
shrinking state and local tax dollars that
have traditionally supported Mott.
“I think community colleges will be the
driving force for the new economy. We’ve
seen a lot of emphasis on that at the
national level, and I think that will be true
for some years to come. Given its long
history, I think Mott College is going to be
a leader in that area.”
The community will continue to be important in Mott’s success, he noted. “The
word community is in our name and it is
a two way street.” While Mott has always
welcomed the support of the greater
Genesee County community through millage
and bond issues, even more assistance
may be needed in the months and years
to come.
“Over the last 90 plus years, Mott has really
given the population of Genesee County
the ability to create new careers, new jobs,
and it is probably more important now with
the loss of General Motors and so many
students of all ages trying to redefine
themselves. As Genesee County tries to
redefine itself, Mott’s really playing a major
role in that process.”
Paul Rozycki, MCC Professor Emeritus
“If you take a look around Genesee
County, the leadership positions on
almost every level, you will find a great
many successful people who have been
Mott students.”

T
his year, The Foundation for Mott
Community College gave an
unprecedented gift of $250,000
in unrestricted dollars to help avert a
significant tuition increase for the
more than 10,000 students currently
enrolled at the college, along with its
normal, annual allocation to the
college.
The Foundation was created in
1986 specifically for such instances.
Lennetta Coney, President of the
Foundation for Mott Community
College, described her office as
“grant seekers” who seek and give
dollars to the college as needed.
Lennetta said she is determined to
find the financial means to continue
to help make the college move
forward.
“Education is vital now,” Lennetta
said. “I know that the future of
education is one of those necessary
elements that the community must
embrace. Once upon a time, it was
easy to enter the workplace after
graduating from high school. No
longer can an individual simply look
for a job. They must know the
technology that supports that job.
They must possess the critical
thinking skills necessary to get ahead
and secure gainful employment.
Education is the pathway to success.”
With Mott’s low tuition costs and
small class sizes, more and more
students are considering the
College for an associate’s degree or
job training as the first step to
achieve their academic goals.
“Mott Community College is so vitally
important to the community today
because it is the community’s college.
We have so many young people and,
I’ll say, mature people who are looking
for a quality education, and want to
stay home and work. In some cases,
they cannot afford to leave town.
Mott offers the best of all worlds.”
“We know that nationally community
colleges are fulfilling the need for
workforce development and economic
development,” she added. “We are
poised to meet the employers where
the need is greatest. Employers tell
us what they need and we develop a
curriculum to fulfill their manifest or
work process. We are uniquely
positioned to provide it and make
sure that our coursework is relevant
to the workforce today.”
It’s Lennetta’s belief in Mott’s
community-minded mission that
helps drive her to ask others for
financial support. For her, she would
rather ask donors for gifts than
to have students no longer afford
to take classes at the community
college.
“Many people are unfamiliar
with private gifting,” she said.
“But how else do we then
make up the deficits created
by government cutbacks and
dwindling property taxes?”
Lennetta invites the community
to come to campus and look at
Mott’s website, to see all that is
being accomplished.
“I think when people see what we
are doing, they will understand that
the community college is a vital asset
to the lifeline of this area,” she said.
“Donors who give back help us help
students while avoiding exporting our
talent to other communities. They
really understand the vitality and the
necessity of a community college.”

are doing, they understand that the

L
arry Gawthrop still believes that
Mott Community College provides
the best value for each tuition
dollar that is spent. He and members
of the administration are doing
everything they can to ensure that
the Mott legacy continues throughout
the months and years to come. But
crunching the numbers to make it
happen isn’t always easy.
“The future of Mott Community
College, I believe, is changing as far as
addressing needs,” Larry said. “The
needs of the community are changing.
We are currently in an economically
depressed community. We have very
high unemployment. The City of Flint,
I think, has been unfortunately leading
the nation in unemployment rates in
the last two years. There was a lot of
retraining we had to do, curriculum
redevelopment, certificate programs
we had to develop to meet those
needs. The future of Mott Community
College is going to depend on the
local economy and the needs of the
local community.”
The numbers Larry and his team are
constantly crunching come from three
different funding sources: state aid,
which is an appropriation from the
State of Michigan; local property taxes
from a voter approved millage; and
tuition. Unfortunately, state aid has not
kept up. As a matter of fact, Larry
reported that it is lower than it actually
was in 1999 and 2000, “which is really
unfortunate.”
In an effort to keep those tuition costs
affordable for college students, The
Foundation for Mott Community
College made a historic general fund
contribution of $250,000 to the
College.
“The property taxes recently have
been in a precipitous decline,” he
added. “We have lost over $5.5-million
dollars in the past two years. So that
puts a strain on college finances.”
And while his long-term outlook for
Mott focuses on managing the state
and local cutbacks, he is also growing
more troubled about the increased
funding needed to offset the influx of
developmental students that require
remedial education even before they
are ready for their college courses.
Mott administration strives to provide
a balanced approach in its finances
through spending cuts and tuition
increases.
While tuition costs as of January 2012
are $108.05 per contact hour, Larry
explained that the cost of delivering
that contact hour is $243.
“That gift allowed the college to keep
tuition lower for all students, which is
extremely important especially in
these tough economic times,” he said.
“The community has been extremely
supportive of Mott Community College
since its inception and it continues,”
Larry said. “We see support not only
financially through the Foundation, but
also with the millage rate … in our
programs and the local efforts we’re
doing in outreach. I think we need to
have that continued support so that
we are able to offer and provide this
high quality education at a low cost.”
Larry Gawthrop, Chief Financial Officer, Mott Community College
Tuition costs today will be $108.05 per contact hour.
The cost of delivering that contact hour is $243.
In an effort to keep those tuition costs affordable for
college students, The Foundation for Mott Community
College made a historic general fund contribution of
$250,000 to the College.
