On Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025, a group of 31 Midland College students traveled to Austin to participate in Community College Day at the Texas Capitol. The trip, led by MC Professor of Government and Director of the Honors Program Dr. Terry Gilmour and MC Associate Professor of Government/Political Science Ben Malone, provided students with a firsthand look at the legislative process and an opportunity to engage with state lawmakers.

Brooklynn Dow and Carlos Pastrana Sanchez, both from Midland Legacy High School, each won a one-year scholarship to Midland College after beating the clock in the College and Career Connections (C3)-sponsored 3 Shot Challenge.
