Middlesex CC to Host Health & Biotech Virtual Pathway Open House

Middlesex Community College will host a trio of virtual Pathway Open Houses throughout the Fall semester. The first Pathway Open House will take place at 5 p.m. on Thursday, October 29 and cover the Health and Biotechnology programs at Middlesex. Students can learn what MCC and these specific programs offer from the beginning – diving into the specifics of the college, academic majors and all the resources that may be of interest to prospective students.

“The Health Programs and Biotechnology Pathway Open House will appeal to students who enjoy science, are keenly interested in going into a helping profession, and are ready to commit to programs that will prepare them for high demand careers,” said Camille Brown, MCC’s Director of Admissions and Student Recruitment. “Students at this event have the opportunity to learn about our many selective health programs from the faculty who lead these programs.”

Over Zoom, attendees will learn about the Admissions process, speak with Financial Aid Counselors, meet with MCC faculty members, hear about campus offerings, and learn about transfer options. Those who participate will also have the opportunity to explore career paths and learn about career-focused degrees and certificates, career development courses, and customized training for businesses.

MCC’s Biotechnology program will be represented by Kate Sweeney, Dean of STEM, and Stefana Soitos, MCC’s Director of the Biotech Learn and Earn Experience. Among other topics, they will discuss how completing the program – the first from a community college in Mass. – will lead to a fulfilling and successful career.

“Learn about the coursework, our new multimillion dollar state of the art facility, and all of the incredible options available to you, such as the Learn and Earn Experience,” Sweeney said. “Learn and Earn offers students the opportunity to work in Biotech at the same time they are pursuing their degree.”

The Health and Biotechnology Pathway Open House is at 5 p.m. on Thursday, October 29. Those interested in careers in Biotechnology, Dental Assisting, Dental Hygiene, Dental Laboratory Tech, Health Care Administration, Medical Assisting, Medical Billing & Coding, Medical Laboratory Tech, Nursing Day & Evening, Phlebotomy, Radiologic Tech and Ultrasound Tech should attend.
