Recognizing MTC’s Faculty and Staff

As we move into a New Year, MTC believes it is necessary and important to recognize members of our faculty and staff members who were instrumental in ensuring student success during the unprecedented year of 2020.

This month, the college kicked off its Spring Semester by announcing the 2020 Employee of the Year Honorees. The honorees were nominated and voted on by their peers for the annual awards

“It’s always an honor to recognize our best at the beginning of a semester,” said MTC President Dr. Ronald L. Rhames. “Our dedicated faculty and staff are the core of MTC’s commitment to academic excellence and student success. Though only a few receive the title of Employees of the Year, all the employees here at MTC have my respect and appreciation.”
