Late last night there was a threat posted to social media from an individual. While the threat was not a direct threat to the college, we closed our main campus, the Sturrus Technology Center, and the MCC Ottawa Center for today. All face-to-face classes at all locations have been canceled.
Police were notified and they confirmed they had received a report and had responded. An officer from the Muskegon County Sheriff's Office communicated to us that there was no longer an immediate threat.
MCC administration and crisis prevention teams are meeting this morning to debrief and determine plans to reopen the college.
Thank you to all for communicating your concerns to the college. Our priority at this time is the safety of our students and employees.
