Best Wishes to Michelle Richards, MBA

It is with bittersweet emotion that I inform you that Michelle Richards, MBA, Bursar, has accepted a position at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Michelle's last day with the College will be Friday, September 25th. Michelle began her journey at MCCN in February 2013 as the Administrative Secretary for Academic Programs and transitioned to the new Bursar position after receiving her Master’s in Business Administration in February 2017. In her time as Bursar, Michelle has made many process improvements that have streamlined the business office and improved service to our students. Please join in me in congratulating Michelle and wishing her well in her future endeavors.
