How Meridian Community College Brought Accessibility Awareness from “Zero to 100 Percent”
All incoming freshmen receive training on digital learning tools, including YuJa Panorama, during orientation. They learn how to download different file types, use the accessibility widget in Canvas, and other tools they may need.
Meridian Community College is a public community college serving Meridian, Mississippi, and the surrounding Lauderdale County community. Founded in 1937 as an extension of the local high school, MCC is the only one of Mississippi’s 15 public community colleges to have originated through the initiative of a local school system. Today, the college offers more than 40 career and technical education programs alongside a robust University Transfer program, serving around 3,400 college credit students each year along with thousands more through continuing education and community enrichment programs. Through its Tuition Guarantee Program, MCC ensures that any graduate of a Lauderdale County high school or home school can attend tuition-free, reinforcing the college’s role as a true community anchor.
