Friend of the Program Award

The EOP&S Program benefits greatly from the cooperation and support of MJC Staff and faculty in all departments, from facilities to financial aid to instructors and beyond. Our students thrive and succeed due in large part to a network of support woven throughout the different departments on campus. We have the privilege to recognize those individuals outside of our department who have supported our program and our students in unique and meaningful ways. Nominated by EOP&S department staff, these MJC staff and faculty members have helped to illustrate the enormous value in having "friends of the program".
