UPDATE: MSMC Winter Sessions Running as Scheduled

UPDATE 1/6/2023: MSMC has shared that Winter Courses at the college are back up and running as of January 5 with Spring 2023 classes expected to run as scheduled.

Over the past several years, college students especially, along with K-12 students, have learned to adjust to ever-changing classroom structures.  During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the academic years that followed, students became accustomed to terminologies like hybrid courses and virtual classrooms.

With that in mind, a heavy focus during the past few years has been on cyber safety and security.
