The current Faculty are participating in a number of activities involving curricular and facility development. Over 50 businesses in the Red Mountain service area have been contacted and many have serious interest in the Red Mountain Campus to upgrade the skills of their employees. Short-term computer courses that meet student needs, including leisure population needs, continue to be offered at the new Multigenerational Center in East Mesa. Discussions regarding the integration of technology in facilities design and learning environments continue to be held with the planning team and architects. High School Project MCC at Red Mountain continues to promote higher education opportunities through its Higb Scbool Project.
Red Mountain continues to create interest and gain involvement from high schools near the campus.
Last year, several focus groups were held with Red Mountain High School students, faculty, and counselors to gather input and feedback on the new campus. This project enabled MCC at Red Mountain to build strong and credible relationships with the faculty and staff at Red Mountain High School. Most importantly, we were able to spend significant time with our target market, the high school student. Our interaction with students allowed us to gain significant insight into their needs, which have assisted us in our campus planning. During the Spring 2000 semester, we will continue to cultivate these relationships and expand our high school program.
