FINN CARES 2021

Formerly known as MDC Cares, FINN CARES launched six years ago through the Student Life Department with the mission to serve our community and a goal of creating meaningful change in our students while doing so. 

Aligning with the attributes of a changemaker, also found in our dear College Mascot FINN, students who participate in the annual FINN CARES project will be exposed to unique opportunities to S.O.A.R: show empathy, own their actions, accept differences and realize their potential.
