MMC will host Charter Day—an annual event commemorating the day we received our charter as an independent college—on <a href="https://www.mmm.edu/calendar/event/16007-charter-day-2023">April 3</a>. Each year, as part of the festivities, we recognize hard-working faculty and staff who help make the institution special. And in 2023, our dais will be full: We’re honoring 22 faculty and staff members who’ve reached a milestone anniversary at the College. Altogether, they represent some 400 years of service to our community. We spoke to five of them about their time here and what makes the College unlike any other.</p> </div> </div> </div>
