2018 Economic Impact ReportMississippi Gulf Coast Community College

Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College is proud to serve our state as one of the most accomplished community colleges in the nation. Recognized as a Great College to Work For and Military Friendly School, the college has also been chosen for key grant programs like Achieving the Dream and RESTORE Act Work-Ready programs. We are also very proud to graduate the inaugural classes of both Collegiate Academy, in partnership with Gulfport School District, and the Engineering on the Coast program, a partnership with Mississippi State University. From offering dual enrollment/credit opportunities to more than 1,000 high school students in our district annually to providing test preparation to almost 10 percent of the state’s adult education graduates, Gulf Coast has positively impacted the educational opportunities for those students at a secondary level for over 100 years. The college provides training for its constituents with workforce training offered with industry partners or by way of grant programs and with outstanding career, technical and academic programs at the college’s 10 campuses and centers.

Dr. Mary S. Graham

Kristiana PaytonCollegiate Academy GraduateJefferson Davis Campus

“Collegiate Academy has been a great experience for me and is something I would definitely recommend to other high school students. I am excited to go to college this year as a junior with my associates degree already behind me! ”

MGCCC is the state’s leader in providing workforce training through the Workforce Enhancement Training Fund, with expenditures of almost $4.5 million in 2018. WETF provides training for industry and businesses through the college with funds administered by the Community College Board.

Key partnerships like those with Ingalls Shipbuilding, Merit Health and Pearl River Valley Electric Power Association do more than help our students. Those partnerships benefit industry and the local economy by ensuring there are well-trained employees prepared to meet industry needs so that growth is possible.

Collegiate Academy, in partnership with Gulfport School District, and the Engineering on the Coast program, a partnership with Mississippi State University, provide innovative pathways for university transfer that allow students to efficicently complete their college degrees and enter the workforce withhighly valued skills. Both programs have been so successful that they are expanding in 2019 to offer opportunities to even more students.

In FY18, the college spent almost $25 MILLION with

638 vendors in its four-county district.

The college disbursed almost $45 MILLION in salary and benefits to more than 1,000

employees during 2018.

In 2018, the college awarded almost $50

MILLION in federal, state, institutional and external financial aid to MGCCC

students.

Faculty and staff payroll contribute to the total earnings in MGCCC’s four-county district, and the spending of employees for entertainment, life essentials and household expenditures helps support businesses in those counties. In the same way, students spend much of their awarded financial aid within the four-county district on a variety of goods and services. The college purchases supplies and services, mostly with vendors located in the college district. These expenditures create a ripple effect that generates more jobs and higher wages throughout the economy.

*These numbers reflect spending through purchase orders and check requests and do not include monies spent via procurement card.

AT GULF COAST, STUDENTS ARE OUR PRIORITY. We recognize that without them, the college would not exist. Academic rigor, extracurricular activities, technology availability, safety and facilties are all important to making the college experience a positive one for our students. As part of our continuing commitment to student success, the college began the Achieving the Dream (ATD) program in 2018 as one of only two institutions in the state chosen to participate. A team from MGCCC met with ATD leaders in June to begin gathering and analyzing multiple data sources that help them better understand the student experience, prioritize resources and strategies, and monitor and evaluate impact. ATD offers MGCCC access to a capacity-building framework and companion self-assessment that will allow the college’s team to pinpoint strengths and areas for improvement across seven institutional capacities in areas such as leadership and vision, teaching and learning, and data and technology. With the capacity framework as a guide, ATD helps colleges integrate and align any existing student success efforts with bold, holistic, institution-wide changes that research suggests can help more students succeed.
