Following the completion of major renovations to its campuses in Pottstown and Blue Bell, Montgomery County Community College is inviting prospective students and their families to its MCCC fall open house events, on both campuses and online.

The events are on the following times and locations:

• South Hall Student Commons, Pottstown Campus —Saturday, October 14, 10 AM-12 PM
• Science Center, Blue Bell Campus— Saturday, October 21, 10 AM -12 PM
• Virtual— Thursday, October 26, 6 to 7 PM

The events are free and open to the community.

“We are excited about the open houses,” said Michael Harcum, Director of Admissions and Recruitment. “We are looking forward to welcoming Montco prospective students, their families, and the community to our beautiful, renovated campuses, as well as online. We can’t wait to highlight our dynamic faculty and the many programs and support services available to help students succeed.”

Employers and employees are also welcome to the open houses to learn more about its 100+ programs, flexible schedules and online courses.

Through MCCC’s Prior Learning Assessment, working students may qualify for credits or waiver of courses, depending on experience and training, allowing them to get a head start on earning an associate’s degree.

At Pottstown Campus, open house guests will have a chance to explore the renovations made to South Hall and North Hall.

In North Hall, visitors will be able to see the Wellness Center, machine shop, student theater and Sound Recording and Music Technology studios.

At Blue Bell Campus, the event begins in the freshly renovated Science Center, which includes the 563-seat theater. The theater is part of the Montco Cultural Center that includes all of the arts and cultural programming and venues across both campuses.

Visitors will also be able to view the progress on the incoming Hospitality Institute, which is currently under construction and slated to open in the fall of 2024 for students in the baking and pastry, culinary arts and tourism and hospitality management programs.

The online open house will give prospective students a chance to connect with faculty via interactive Zoom rooms and learn more about student services. The hour-long presentation will remain published online after the event ends throughout the year for those unable to attend.

In addition to faculty, both the Pottstown and Blue Bell open house events will feature representatives from student service
