项目
Summer and Winter Institute:
The aim of the Winter and Summer Institute is to introduce incoming freshman and continuing students to academic and cultural experiences designed to solicit critical thinking and problem solving in the areas of history/philosophy, mathematics and literacy. 学生 read and analyzed excerpts in selected areas of history/philosophy and literature, and participated in classroom discussions. Written assignments were drawn from readings 和讨论. 指令s in writing skills were provided as students complete 写作业. The goal of the institute is to engage incoming and current MRC student's in an effort in increase student recruitment and retention. 指令 was designed to strengthen participants' critical thinking skills and address the social and cultural obstacles confronting them.
指导:
Our professional mentors are a diverse group of college Mentor's that will work one on one with mentees to manage the academic challenges financial aid issues and social aspects of the 大学经历. Our peer mentors are fellow students who have already achieved some success at KCC. They will listen to concerns, share their experiences, and help create your own path. 学生 who become men are responsible, committed 和动机.
