GOAL 3: VALUING A CULTURE OF CARE TO ADVANCE STUDENT OUTCOMES

CARING FOR STUDENTS AND ABOUT EACH OTHER & OUR COMMUNITY

MDC’s talented team of faculty and staff are the difference makers for our students. Ensuring the safety of our students and employees is a college-wide priority. The college is expanding its culture of care by launching the MDC CARE -- Comprehensive Access to Resources and Education -- initiative with an emphasis on supporting one another, recognizing excellence, and promoting continuous improvement. We are bringing back the Presidential Excellence Award Program that provides one-time monetary recognition to employees who have gone the extra mile. At the same time our Employee Enrollment Initiative will offer a more personalized continuing education experience.

The college has extended a helping hand to students during the pandemic with programs to fight food insecurity, fund technology to support remote learning, and expand scholarships. To honor and thank our hometown first responders who got their start at Miami Dade College, we developed a special heroes edition of our MDC Alumni Hall of Fame Awards. The way MDC and our community took action and adapted, from the quick pivot to remote teaching and learning to the careful planning for a safe return to campus shows how we care for and about each other. MDC is committed to augmenting our exceptional team by improving systems and promoting continuous improvement through professional development. Together, we are creating a brighter future for the region.
