Midland College to host Ribbon Cutting for new Mobile 'Go Center'
Tuesday, November 18, 11:00 a.m.
Midland College Campus,* 3600 N. Garfield
*in the parking lot directly across from the entrance to the F. Marie Hall Academic Building
A Ribbon Cutting ceremony will be held to celebrate the arrival of MC's new Mobile Go Center on Tuesday, November 18 at 11:00 a.m. in the parking lot directly across from the entrance to the F. Marie Hall Academic Building.
The Mobile Go Center (MGC) consists of a 42-foot gooseneck trailer and Ford F-350 pick-up that will allow Midland College representatives to travel to more rural areas of the Permian Basin. It has been funded by a $134,000 grant from the Texas Pioneer Foundation.
Through the use of the MGC, Midland College staff will be able to reach certain populations in its service area, isolated by poor technology and rural living, who are not aware of the importance and affordability of higher education. Midland College has staffed the MGC with knowledgeable, bilingual representatives able to speak on a broad range of topics, including admissions, financial aid, testing, career and degree options, as well as college choices. The MGC is of use not just as an advocate for Midland College, but as an advocate for the pursuit of higher education in general.
Through the use of the Midland College MGC, the college continues to increase and enhance its efforts to meet the required state goals as outlined in the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's "Closing the Gaps" initiative.
Among other resources for students, the MGC provides 17 laptop computers with satellite Internet hookup; a 42-inch flat screen TV; and an integrated sound system.
