MCC's Centre for Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation


Focused on an Equitable and Accessible Education for All!

We are proud to be one of only 71 colleges in the nation to host a campus-based Center for Truth, Community Healing and Transformation (TCHT).


Our Center serves as a hub and resource to Photo of a group of people sitting in a circle talking
engage in the
ongoing practice of community healing and to build deeper collective capacity toward equity and justice for everyone.


Together through relationship building, truth-telling and healing, we have the foundations for equity and transformative change in our communities.  

We have integrated equity work into our strategic plan and see TCHT as an opportunity to:

  • Engage in collegewide honest dialogues on race
  • Serve as a reosurce and partner within College communities
  • Promote ongoing healing activities
  • Create a positive narrative about community vibrancy throughout all aspects of MCC and community
  • Prepare the next generation of leaders to build just and equitable communities
  • Pinpoint key leverage points for change
  • Envision what the community will look, feel and be like when the belief in a hierarchy has been eliminated
  • Expand, strengthen and deepen community partnerships within our community to advance social justice and build equitable communities
