​Introducing Emily, MICC’s Participant of the Month for May! As a first-year student in the College Program, Emily has already made a remarkable impact on the community.
 
Participant of the Month is awarded by nominations from both peers and staff for individuals who have clearly demonstrated one or more of our three R’s: responsibility, resilience, and respect. Let's dive into what makes her a deserving recipient of this recognition.
 
According to Emily’s nominations, it's clear that her resilience, responsibility, and dedication played a significant role. One nomination described her as hardworking, focused, and determined in preparation for certificate interviews and the Careers Program.
 
Emily's commitment to self-advocacy and open communication with staff and advisors about her concerns demonstrates her maturity and proactive approach to her college experience.
 
Additionally, her active participation in classes and her ability to create connections with peers contribute to a positive learning environment for all.
 
Emily's resilience was further showcased when she found a creative way to make up an assignment by including a peer from another program year and connecting over lunch. This problem-solving and adaptive mindset highlight Emily's determination to excel and grow academically.
 
When asked about her favorite memory or thing about MICC, Emily couldn't choose just one. She shared, "So many memories and things: friendships, dedicated staff, passion projects, learning and self-improvement, Cheers Pablo excursion, apartment incentive outing to MOA, writing certificate letters." It's clear that Emily has embraced the diverse experiences and opportunities that MICC offers, creating a vibrant college journey.
 
Emily's enthusiasm extends to her classes, electives, and socials. She enjoys a wide range of activities, including SEL-type classes, art classes, art socials, Careers classes, Advisory, and Apartment Circle. Her diverse interests and active participation in various activities contribute to her growth and engagement at MICC.
 
Let's get to know Emily better with two fun facts about her. Firstly, she delights in Japanese sweets and marble soda, showcasing her appreciation for different cultures and experiences. Secondly, Emily prefers physical games over digital ones, highlighting her love for active and interactive pastimes.
 
Congratulations, Emily, for being recognized as the May Participant of the Month!
