Alumni who have excelled in their respective professions and life missions and have elevated MCC’s esteem through their achievements, service and association with the institution will be inducted into MCC’s Hall of Fame on Wednesday, March 6.
Each year, MCC honors a group of servant-leaders who have distinguished themselves in their professions and community service with the Hall of Fame award.
The ceremony gets underway at 2 p.m. in the McCain Theater. A reception will follow in the College’s PTK Courtyard of Scholars, adjacent to Ivy-Scaggs Hall.
Inductees for this year’s class are Dr. Sarah Garner Abernathy, David Charles Garner, and David Quave. Dr. Abernathy is a family nurse practitioner for the G.V. Sonny Montgomery Veteran Affairs Medical Center, and Garner is an associate chief financial officer for the government of the District of Columbia. Quave retired from Medtronic Corp., marketing biomedically-engineered products. Dr. Abernathy and Garner are sister and brother, marking the first time siblings will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Moreover, former employees who have passed away since last year’s ceremony will be remembered by the tolling of bells. They include Clara Castle, Jimmie Evans, Mark Gunn, Tina Reena Keenan-Bonner, Kelly McKee, Morris Sweatt, Mary Tolbert, Sally Widen, and Darlene Withers.
The Hall of Fame ceremony is hosted by the MCC Foundation and is a highlight of the college’s academic year.
