About CMCC

The Department of Planning & Public Affairs is responsible for publicity; media and community relations; the College website and campus newsletter; institutional research and planning; grants management; and the CM Education Foundation.

The Office of Institutional Research is the official source of institutional data related to the College. The office handles a wide array of reports required by state and federal authorities along with information and data requests from internal and external organizations. The coordinator conducts numerous surveys of student satisfaction in order to provide data for strategic planning, program review and benchmarking projects with which CMCC has partnered.
