Montgomery County Community College (MCCC) is excited to celebrate the fall season by inviting prospective students and their families to its fall open house events at its Blue Bell and Pottstown campuses.

The first open house event begins at Pottstown Campus (101 College Drive) on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM in South Hall Student Commons. The College will then host an open house event on Blue Bell Campus (340 DeKalb Pike) on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM, beginning in the Montco Cultural Center theater, located in the Science Center building.

The events are free and open to the community. To register, visit MCCC. 

Michael Harcum, Director of Admissions and Recruitment, said the College is looking forward to highlighting its renovated facilities on both campuses including South Hall, the Montco Cultural Center, the Health Sciences Center suites, the esports pavilion and more.

“We are a key regional partner committed to serving the educational, workforce, and cultural needs of our students and communities,” he said.

Each open house event will allow visitors to explore MCCC’s beautiful facilities and classrooms, and learn about its 100+ programs of study, 30+ transfer partners and its wraparound supportive services.

During the Pottstown event, visitors will be able to see the Wellness Center, machine shop, student theater and Sound Recording and Music Technology (SRT) studio in North Hall.

Visitors will also be able to view the progress on the incoming Hospitality Institute, which is slated to open during the fall semester for students in the Baking and Pastry, Culinary Arts and Tourism and Hospitality Management programs.
