MCC re-opened all entrances on campus, and no longer requires a pass for entry. All employees and all students attending in-person classes must continue to comply with the state mandate requiring either proof of vaccination or weekly COVID-19 testing. This will be strictly enforced each week throughout the semester.

In This Together

It takes all of us to create a safer campus community. Current Students who are taking in-person classes--please help by uploading proof of vaccination or signing up for weekly testing.

Masks/Face Coverings Update

All MCC employees, students, and visitors are required to wear a mask/face covering on campus when indoors. This update is based on McHenry County’s current COVID-19 transmission levels. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our campus safe.

Robin Deak

Named 2021 Full-Time Faculty of the Year

I always say there are two things you can control—your attitude and your effort. I encourage my students to be self-advocates, to prioritize self-care, work on self-confidence, and take selfies (just because they’re fun!).
