Diversity Outreach Fellow

Why MHC? I wanted to attend a college where I could pursue my many interests while being challenged academically and as a person. Upon visiting MHC during “prospie weekend,” I just fell in love with the college. The campus is gorgeous, the professors are amazing and the student body feels like one huge family. MHC is full of amazing and talented women and I believe that MHC is a place that brings out the best in an individual.
