Midland College is now mobile!
Midland College is now mobile! Thanks to a $134,000 grant from the Texas Pioneer Foundation, MC purchased a Mobile Go Center (MGC), a 42-foot gooseneck trailer and Ford F-350 pick-up that allows college representatives to travel to more rural areas of the Permian Basin.
Through the use of the MGC, Midland College staff can reach certain populations in its service area, isolated by poor technology and rural living, who are not aware of the importance and affordability of higher education. Midland College has staffed the MGC with knowledgeable, bilingual representatives able to speak on a broad range of topics, including admissions, financial aid, testing, career and degree options, as well as college choices. The MGC will not be used just as an advocate for Midland College, but as an advocate for the pursuit of higher education in general.
The MGC also helps the college increase and enhance its efforts to meet the required state goals as outlined in the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s “Closing the Gaps” initiative.
Among other resources for students, the MGC provides 17 laptop computers with satellite Internet hookup; a 42-inch flat screen TV; and an integrated sound system.
