Spotlights

2011 Alumni Homecoming Dinner

 

Back in 1986, a group of Hospitality alumni came up with a way to stay connected to MCC and each other in the form of a dinner. The first annual Hospitality homecoming dinner was held in 1986 and has taken place each year on the Monday night before Thanksgiving ever since. The dinner was opened up to all MCC alumni in 2004. The dinner is an opportunity to network and reminisce with old classmates and revisit the college. Photos from the 2011 Alumni Homecoming Dinner are available by clicking the link above.
