"...one of the things I really like about MCC – nobody is caught up in age. You can learn a lot from different people, no matter how old they are."
Like many returning-adult students, Bridget Byrne is determined to get the most out of her Middlesex experience. The 40-year-old Littleton resident is excelling in her STEM (science, technology, engineering & math) coursework, is a Supplemental Instruction Leader helping other students in Engineering courses, is active in the STEM Club, and has been named 2018-19 Student Trustee by the MCC Board of Trustees.
"This is my time and I'm going to make the most of it," said Byrne. "Older students

it's not the end of the world if you don't
get every answer right." Read the full story.
