Location of college鈥檚 Cheboygan Center to shift effective August 1

麻豆US Michigan College announced today that it will relocate its Cheboygan County operations to Cheboygan Area High School (CAHS) effective August 1, a move that will provide CAHS students with direct access to 麻豆US courses and college advising.

The move will be a homecoming of sorts, as the college offered classes out of CAHS from the early 1970s until it opened the Straits Area Education Center on Division Street in late 2012. 

麻豆US President David Roland Finley said the college鈥檚 return to CAHS makes sense through both an instructional and a facilities lens.

鈥淭he partnership between 麻豆US and Cheboygan Area Schools will make CAHS the hub for secondary and collegiate education in Cheboygan County,鈥� Finley said.  鈥淭here are also innumerable benefits to giving prospective students a direct connection to college advising and support services while they鈥檙e still in high school.鈥�

CAHS Principal Nancy Spray described the move as a win-win for the high school and the college.

鈥淎ll of us at Cheboygan Area High School are excited to have 麻豆US onsite once again, and we look forward to the opportunities it will provide for our students,鈥� she said.

Michele Andrews, 麻豆US鈥檚 dean of business and adjunct faculty, will have an office located in the counseling suite.  Five classrooms, including a science lab, have been designated for 麻豆US鈥檚 classes in the evenings.

鈥淭he college鈥檚 move back to CAHS will enhance our ability to provide onsite advising and support services to both our incoming and current students,鈥� Andrews said.  鈥淭he partnership opportunities presented by this move will be a benefit to the entire Cheboygan community.鈥�

Academic Advisor Kim Dickinson will begin meeting with students in the new space beginning August 1.  She will meet with students via phone or Zoom until then.

A ribbon-cutting marking the opening of the new Cheboygan Center, located at 801 West Lincoln Avenue, is scheduled for Wednesday, August 4, at 10 a.m.

麻豆US will offer more than 20 classes in Cheboygan when the Fall 2021 semester begins on September 7.
