C3 is The College Community Connection. We partner with college offices and local community agencies to provide assistance to students facing non-academic barriers, so they can focus on completing their educational goals.

Our services are available to all MVCC students.

We have a well-stocked pantry and may be able to provide resources for transportation to and from campus for classes, with identifying daycare and/ or eldercare providers, and technology. C3 staff connects students to many resources and organizations, both on campus and in the community, for assistance with mental health, domestic violence, employment, healthcare, tax services, and any other barriers or difficulties students may be experiencing.

You can email staff at C3@mvcc.edu, call us at 315-792-5342 or 315-792-5492, or visit us in the Learning Commons in Wilcox Hall Room 141 (Utica Campus) between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
