Each session will begin with an overview of the University Center at MCC, then allow time for prospective students to meet with representatives from the Center's educational partners, including Aurora University, Northern Illinois University, Roosevelt University (pending final approval), and Southern Illinois University-Carbondale.

"We're very excited to bring degree programs from several universities close to home for our McHenry County community," said Kailley Harmon, executive director of the University Center at MCC. "The students we've talked to so far can't wait to receive more information and connect with our university partners about Fall 2024 admissions."

During the sessions, attendees will have the chance to ask questions and get information about degree programs, admissions, transfer credits, tuition and financial aid, class offerings, and future internship and career opportunities.

The University Center at MCC, announced earlier this year, plans to open in its downtown Woodstock location in fall 2024. The center enables local students to earn bachelor's and advanced degrees close to home, offering cost savings and dedicated on-site support.
