Resource fair to bring agencies and MCCers together

Connecting students with helpful resources is the reasoning behind Meridian Community College's Community Resource Fair, with representatives from local and area agencies coming to campus. 

The Spring Semester 2025 event is set for Jan. 15, from 9 a.m. to noon. 

"This is one of my favorite events," said Shaquita Hopson Alfonso, MCC associate director of advising and retention. She and others from the College's Student Affairs Division, including Parent Services and Student Support, organize the event. "Bringing in other people and resources makes a difference for our students," she said. 

Alfonso added, "There are so many things MCC can help students with – and we have many MCC representatives at the resource fair." This resource fair also allows us to give them connections to help them." 

The event also allows students to explore academic, personal, and professional development resources and volunteer opportunities.
