MCC basketball - what a great year!!! It's a good time to be a Crusader! Both our men's and women's teams captured their conference titles as well as the regional titles and went to their national tournaments in Springfield, MO and Grayson, KY, respectively. The women fought hard in 3 games and had a great time playing and bonding. The men went 2-1 at Nationals and came away with a 3rd place finish - the highest in school history. Congratulations to Shawn Condra, men's coach, and Larry Olsen, girl's coach, on jobs well done. Both of these coaches are great examples of Jesus on and off the court! Way to go!!!

What do you enjoy most about MCC?
I have been blessed to work with people who are dedicated to use their knowledge and gifts to invest in student's lives. I also love the students God has sent to MCC, and I find it rewarding to walk with them through their years at the school. Put those two aspects together, along with the fact that I thoroughly enjoy literature and writing, and it's a win/win situation! |

How did MCC make a difference in your life?
MCC totally helped change my life since I had only accepted Christ 4 weeks before school started in the Fall of 1993. MCC gave me an opportunity to be around and be influenced by Christians as well as learn the Bible from educated Christians. I went to MCC largely on an invitation from Jeremy Eubanks and Justin Moxley to play basketball at a Bible college instead of ESU. I had never heard of a Bible college before! To this day MCC is the place that shaped my faith, made it possible to do ministry, and live in an environment where I was able to stay on fire for the Lord after my dramatic conversion experience.

For Alums - Loan Payment Help Darci Webster, our MCC financial aid counselor, has given some great tips - please read!
Feeling the pinch of the economy? Having trouble making that student loan payment every month? There's good news regarding student loans. Contact your lender immediately about a different repayment option. From an economic hardship deferment or forbearance (for problems only lasting a few months), to a new repayment plan like the income-contingent or income-based, there are many options for those experiencing difficult financial situations. Please do not procrastinate as lenders can garnish wages, income tax returns, and social security benefits. For more information, go to http://www.finaid.org/loans/troublerepayingdebt.phtml
