MTCC President, Dr. Brian S. Merritt, joined other North Carolina Community College System presidents, trustees, and system staff today for a meeting on W. Jones St. led by NCCCS President, Thomas Stith, III, to discuss legislative priorities and how the “Great 58” are a true economic engine for our state!

There are thousands of McDowell Technical Community College alumni doing great work in our communities across the region. Beginning in 2021, MTCC will initiate a new program to honor and recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions and exceptional accomplishments in their chosen career; significant contributions to their community and to the lives of others; and/or exceptional service in support of the college.

The McDowell County Chapter of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) has established an endowed scholarship at McDowell Technical Community College to provide need-based scholarships to McDowell County residents.

Thanks to a generous donation from Gemaire Distributors, LLC and Rheem Manufacturing, the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Technologies Program at McDowell Technical Community College will soon be getting upgraded equipment for the department’s teaching lab at the Universal Advanced Manufacturing Center.
