"Success is the ability to go from one

MCC Teams Up With UM-Flint, Other
Partners in "3P Campaign"
Mott Community College was well represented with a host of administrators, staff and
students at a May 17 news conference unveiling
a project designed to address violence against
women. MCC teamed up with officials from
UM-Flint, the YWCA of Greater Flint, Flint
Police Department and Genesee County
Prosecuting Attorney's Office to announce the
3P Campaign: Prevent, Protect & Prosecute
Violence Against Women - made possible by a
$405,000 consortium grant from the U.S.
Department of Justice. The 3P Campaign is
part of a national initiative led by the
Department of Justice under the Violence
Against Women Act of 1994.
The funding will help support MCC's and
UM-Flint's public safety departments and local
law enforcement officials with providing com-
prehensive support to women affiliated with the
campus community who may be victimized as a
result of violence, including domestic abuse,
sexual assault and stalking. The funding also
will enable the two institutions to review current protocols and develop a campus education
campaign for faculty, staff and students, in consultation with law enforcement agencies and the
YWCA. The YWCA, the state designated
resource for survivors of domestic violence and
sexual assault in Genesee County, will provide a
liaison to work with both schools in an effort to
increase awareness about resources that are
available to the community. The schools are
also purchasing equipment and will offer additional training for public safety personnel, faculty and staff.
MCC Information Center
Has the Answer
In an effort to further enhance services
to every customer - students, potential students, parents, faculty and staff - the MCC
Information Center has implemented
MCC?answer: an interactive knowledge
base of frequently asked questions that can
be used to answer questions and clarify
concerns. The Office of Student Services is
dedicated to continuous improvement of
patrons' experiences with MCC. Faculty and staff are encouraged to forward information that will be
beneficial to callers, which will in turn help lighten the telephone traffic in their respective areas.
The MCC Information Center was created to provide accurate and consistent information by processing incoming concerns and inquiries via telephone and multi-media resources for the Financial Aid,
Admissions and Registration departments. A number of services are provided by the College
Information Center staff, including the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Referral of inquiries to appropriate departments or institutions
Addressing of a caller's core concerns-not just their initial question
WebAdvisor Operations: grades, schedules, transcript requests, academic history
Upgrading student demographic information
Information on policies, procedures for financial aid, admissions and registration

MCC Teams Up With UM-Flint, Other
Partners in "3P Campaign"
Mott Community College was well represented with a host of administrators, staff and
students at a May 17 news conference unveiling
a project designed to address violence against
women. MCC teamed up with officials from
UM-Flint, the YWCA of Greater Flint, Flint
Police Department and Genesee County
Prosecuting Attorney's Office to announce the
3P Campaign: Prevent, Protect & Prosecute
Violence Against Women - made possible by a
$405,000 consortium grant from the U.S.
Department of Justice. The 3P Campaign is
part of a national initiative led by the
Department of Justice under the Violence
Against Women Act of 1994.
The funding will help support MCC's and
UM-Flint's public safety departments and local
law enforcement officials with providing com-
prehensive support to women affiliated with the
campus community who may be victimized as a
result of violence, including domestic abuse,
sexual assault and stalking. The funding also
will enable the two institutions to review current protocols and develop a campus education
campaign for faculty, staff and students, in consultation with law enforcement agencies and the
YWCA. The YWCA, the state designated
resource for survivors of domestic violence and
sexual assault in Genesee County, will provide a
liaison to work with both schools in an effort to
increase awareness about resources that are
available to the community. The schools are
also purchasing equipment and will offer additional training for public safety personnel, faculty and staff.
MCC Information Center
Has the Answer
In an effort to further enhance services
to every customer - students, potential students, parents, faculty and staff - the MCC
Information Center has implemented
MCC?answer: an interactive knowledge
base of frequently asked questions that can
be used to answer questions and clarify
concerns. The Office of Student Services is
dedicated to continuous improvement of
patrons' experiences with MCC. Faculty and staff are encouraged to forward information that will be
beneficial to callers, which will in turn help lighten the telephone traffic in their respective areas.
The MCC Information Center was created to provide accurate and consistent information by processing incoming concerns and inquiries via telephone and multi-media resources for the Financial Aid,
Admissions and Registration departments. A number of services are provided by the College
Information Center staff, including the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Referral of inquiries to appropriate departments or institutions
Addressing of a caller's core concerns-not just their initial question
WebAdvisor Operations: grades, schedules, transcript requests, academic history
Upgrading student demographic information
Information on policies, procedures for financial aid, admissions and registration
