Dale K. Nesbary

Dale K. Nesbary, Ph.D. has served as President of Muskegon Community College since 2009. Since then, MCC has been named the best community college in Michigan, in 2017 by BestColleges.com and in 2021 by Intellegent.com. The College raised record amounts of grants, gifts, and community funding in support of $55 million infrastructure investment, the largest since opening its main campus in 1967. These include their $14.1 million Health and Wellness Center, built from the ground up as a working emergency hospital and housing a community facing health clinic, both of which were placed in service during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The College also boasts many accomplished academic programs including perennially nationally ranked nursing programs, and two performance groups (West Michigan Concert Winds and the MCC Collegiate Singers) having recently performed in the Isaac Stern Auditorium of New York’s famed Carnegie Hall.
