Community Discussion on Transit Needs
Location: Cheney Dining Hall, Lowe Building, MCC Campus
MCC was awarded a $77,000 applied research grant from the Federal Transit Administration (Department of Transportation). To kick-off work on this grant, members of the public are invited to participate in a discussion on transportation planning issues.

In the fall 2010 and spring 2011, community college students in Communication and related college courses at MCC will learn how to conduct culturally-sensitive and locally-situated discussions of transportation planning issues in their own communities to meaningfully involve youth, low-income, and minority populations. In partnership with the regional transportation planning organization Capital Region Council of Governments in Hartford, CT (CRCOG), the project will focus on a local planning context to develop and pilot a model that can be used in various local and regional areas through similar partnerships with the system of an estimated 1,000 community colleges in the country. What will that context be? By participating in this Round-table Discussion on Transit Needs, the public will help decide the focus. A broad range of participation in this event this encouraged. If you or your organization would like to be a part of this particular event, or collaborate with students in community service learning starting in the fall, please contact Dr. Rebecca M. Townsend.

MCC International Film Series
Location: SBM Charitable Foundation Auditorium, AST
Wind Journeys (Colombia) - Ignacio Carrillo travelled most of his life through the villages and regions of Northern Colombia playing traditional songs on his accordion, a legendary instrument that was said to be cursed because it once belonged to the devil. As he became older, he got married and settled with his wife in a small town, leaving his nomadic life behind. When she suddenly dies, he decides to make one last journey to the Northern edge of the country, to return the accordion to the man who gave it to him. On the way, he is joined by Fermn, a teenager who dreams of becoming a travelling musician like Ignacio.
