The Mohave Community College Information Technology Department recently received a 2019 Campus Technology Impact Award. Submissions for the five categories and 12 awards came in from colleges and universities around the world, according to the higher education online magazine Campus Technology.
Mohave Community College and Indiana University were selected winners in the category IT Infrastructure and Systems.

MCC was honored for its online disaster recovery systems upgrades last year, when the college had the honor of holding a breakout session at the VMWorld 2018 Convention in Las Vegas.
