Mott Community College’s Distinguished Alumni Award was established in 2002 for the purpose of recognizing truly outstanding women and men who have provided an inspirational impact to students and/or the community and for their significant contributions to career achievement and community service. By honoring our former students we hope to inspire today’s student to strive for both personal and professional success.

In 2005, the Foundation for MCC recognized its first-ever recipient of the Outstanding Retiree Award. Awarded annually, this year's recipient, retiree Paul "Jack" Carlsen, was honored for his outstanding service to MCC during the Distinguished Alumni & Outstanding Retiree Awards Ceremony on October 17, 2007. Congratulations, Jack!
