How would I, Gracyn Wener, explain Gracyn Wener? She’s a stereotypical Aries. A constant violator of twitter’s community guidelines. A self-described Beatles historian (she literally cried when she walked across Abbey Road). A chronic wearer of plaid. Frequent Starbucks customer. Really big fan of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. A lover […]

My name is Carla Cohen, but my maiden name is Carla Crockett. I started writing for the Agora in 2009 and have been on staff off and on for the last 10 years. I started because I felt Journalism was my calling but now I’m going for Graphic Design. My […]
MCCC’s Registered Nursing Program alumni base grew Dec. 18. 25 students were pinned as registered nurses at Meyer Theater Wednesday night in front of a crowd of over 50 people. “While I’m sure many of you wondered whether you were going to live through nursing school, you did,” said Kimberly […]
Local businessman Gary J. Vajcner has always desired to give back to Monroe. On Monday, Vajcner was able to do just that. Vajcner donated $1.1 million dollars to Monroe County Community College at a ceremony held Monday in MCCC’s Audrey M. Warrick Student Services building. Vajcner’s donation to MCCC is […]
