This semester I enrolled in the Media Production production program at MCTC and soon discovered that the program is being phased out. First semester classes will no longer be offered after spring semester.
Government provided health care is frequently disputed on the grounds that it is a socialist approach. In a humane society, however, health cannot be regarded as dependent on capitalistic wealth.
The arrival of the health clinic in November should thrill the students of Minneapolis Community & Technical College. The clinic represents not only a service to MCTC, but also a model for American health care in the future. Since WAY’s surveys indicate that approximately 32% of our students do not have health care coverage, there is an obvious need for affordable services at our school.
So there we were, deep into our intense, 10-minute single-focus meditation exercise. The gourmet dining room was silent and still, save for a quick and repetitive clicking from the overhead speakers, which yours truly used as the focus of the exercise. Our feet flat on the floor and backs perfectly straight in neatly arranged chairs, we had just finished a nine-step breathing exercise to help relax for this adventure.

According to a 2005 USA Today article, a mere 6% of low income students will graduate with a bachelors degree by age 24, while 51.3% of higher income students will graduate with the same degree at the same age.
Beginning this semester, MCTC was chosen by the Transportation Security Administration to provide education, in several ways to Transportation Security Officers.
Those who are even vaguely familiar with MCTC’S Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning and Refrigeration program know that it is as thorough as it is extensive. Though this year MCTC wanted to ensure just how well built its program was. MCTC took it upon itself to pursue accreditation, to make sure that the school was preparing students at the highest-level possible for jobs in the fast growing HVACR industry.
Two types of flu are expected to spread this year and experts are predicting an epidemic
In mid-November a health clinic will be opening at MCTC. The clinic will offer clinical services and other wellness eduction. It developed out of an idea for a student clinic and has since grown into a larger vision.
