Director of Facilities

The Student is….

 The most important person at MTC

Without students, there would be no need for our positions.

 ….not a cold enrollment statistic,

But a flesh and blood human being with feelings and emotions like our own.

 …not someone to be tolerated so we can do our thing.

 The student is our thing.
