Dr. Alice Holloway Young has had a profound impact on education in Rochester and Monroe
County for over fifty years. As a founding trustee of Monroe Community College, and
as its chair from 1978 to 1998, she shaped the direction of the college and provided
leadership that saw MCC become the premier institution it is today. As an African-American
educator in the Rochester City Schools for four decades, Dr. Young was a pioneer.
She was among the first African-American teachers, and the first African-American
to hold the titles of Reading Specialist, Vice Principal, and Principal. When Dr.
Young retired in 1985, she held the position of supervising director of elementary
instruction. Dr. Young is an integral member of the MCC Community. The Alice Holloway Young Commons, the student residence halls, have been named in her honor. Dr. Young's impact on
the community has been recognized by the NYS Senate as a Woman of Distinction.
We have established this program to encourage talented individuals from underrepresented ethnic or racial groups to consider a career in a community college.
