While MC is observing Spring Break through Sunday, March 16, please exercise caution and good judgment as it relates to severe weather in your area.

MC Public Safety will be on campus monitoring the situation throughout the weather event.
The safety of our MC students, faculty, and staff is our top priority. Please closely monitor your local media outlets for updated information and observe your local weather forecasts and warnings.
