Here’s to a summer of learning, growth, and achievement. Let’s make it a great semester, Hawks! ❤️🖤📚

🌈 Pride Month is in motion at MXC!

SGA kicked things off today with a Tie-Dye event celebrating creativity, community, and self-expression. 🎨✨

Stay tuned for more Pride Month events throughout June!

This June, Malcolm X College celebrates the strength, diversity, and contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community. Throughout the month, join us for events focused on creativity, connection, education, self-expression, and community building.

At Malcolm X College, we are committed to fostering an inclusive campus where every student feels seen, valued, and supported. The Wellness Center serves as a safe, confidential, and welcoming space for all students, offering counseling services and connections to LGBTQIA+ resources throughout Chicago.

📅 Check out our June Pride Month events and join us in celebrating authenticity, acceptance, and pride all month long.

Last Thursday we held our Study Abroad Celebration!

We spent the evening looking back at all of the trips MXC students have taken over the years, celebrating the chaperones who made those trips possible, and talking about the future of the program. It was great to have so many familiar faces in the room.

We also honored President David Sanders and Congressman Danny K. Davis for their support of the study abroad program and their belief that these opportunities should be available to every MXC student.

To our past students and chaperones, thank you for being the heart of this program. And if studying abroad is something you have been thinking about, stay tuned because more is coming.

The Transfer Center had the BEST time with our METAS, TRIO and Medical Assistant graduates during Grad Fest Week. 🎓

Congratulations to every single one of you. You earned this.

Upward and onward to your transfer dream school!

What a week for Malcolm X College in Austin, Texas!
We are thrilled to congratulate our four NISOD Excellence Award recipients, Patrick Davis, Alanna Witherspoon, Tracy Clisby and Tammy Scott-Brand, who traveled to Austin for the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development conference to be recognized for their outstanding contributions to students and to our college community.
On top of that, MXC was honored with the Most Promising Place to Work designation, a recognition that reflects the culture and commitment that our faculty and staff bring to this institution every day.
We are incredibly proud of our awardees and grateful to everyone who makes MXC a place worth celebrating. Congratulations!

Yesterday, Malcolm X College celebrated the achievements of our Community Health Worker (CHW), Health Information Technology (HIT), and Medical Coding graduates during a special Pinning Ceremony and recognition celebration 🎓

VP Nick Hryhorczuk reminded graduates that healthcare can often feel overwhelming and impersonal — but they are now prepared to be trusted professionals who connect people to care, resources, and compassion.

Students also learned about exciting opportunities for CHW professionals, including free one-year membership opportunities through the Illinois Community Health Worker Association and the new Illinois state certification process supporting career growth and stability.

The celebration concluded with a student recognition ceremony, sendoff, and reception with family, faculty, and staff.

Congratulations to our graduates as they prepare to make a difference in healthcare and the communities they serve! 👏🏽

The School of Nursing at Malcolm X College celebrated another incredible Associate of Applied Science in Nursing Pinning Ceremony 🎓

The President shared a powerful message with graduates: for those who were ever told they were “too old,” “too young,” didn’t have the right background, or came from the “wrong side of town” — look at them now. “Show the world who you are! Be the best you can be and make us proud!”

Dean of Nursing Tammy Scott-Brand also shared a heartfelt and humorous story about visiting her father in the hospital, where an MXC Nursing graduate recognized her and excitedly exclaimed, “You’re the Dean!” before giving her a long embrace — prompting her father to jokingly remind everyone, “Hey, I’m the patient!” 😂

As she thanked students for choosing healthcare, remaining committed to serving Chicago, and answering the call for both day and night shifts, she reminded graduates that one day, a future nursing graduate may be the one caring for them or their loved ones.

Many staff and faculty were present to show their support and celebrate with students and families. Following the ceremony, a career fair was also held to connect graduates with employment opportunities and engage them as they begin their professional journeys.

And as the President said: “Now go pass the NCLEX!” 👏🏽

Congratulations to our future nurses!
