Monroe Community College is a two-year college of the State University of New York, located in Monroe County, New York. The college has two campuses, one in the town of Brighton and another, the Damon City Campus, in the City of Rochester. The College also encompasses the Applied Technologies Center, programs at the Monroe County Public Safety Training Facility, and has courses online and at four extension sites in East Rochester, Greece, Spencerport, and Webster. It was founded in 1961. The origins of Monroe Community College took place in 1961, when physician Dr. Samuel J. Stabins recognized the need to prepare students to work in local hospitals and health care facilities, and founded MCC. MCC became part of the SUNY system, and its program offerings were expanded to prepare graduates for a employment or transfer to four-year institutions. The College’s first home in Rochester’s former East High School at 410 Alexander Street had been condemned by the city as a fire hazard, forcing the school to make renovations. On September 9, 1962, the original campus re-opened, with an enrollment 720 students.
