A brief summary of papers, guides, presentations, and other resources the institution has developed to share their sustainability experience with other institutions:

MCC has partnered with Central Community College for the previous three years and recently with University of Nebraska-Lincoln Environmental Studies, amongst other community environmental organizations, to bring the community a Sustainability Leadership Presentation Series. This program is a live presentation that is webcast to other partners throughout the state to enrich the understanding of sustainability issues within the Heartland Region. The presentation draws approximately 100 live viewers a month and many more subsequent views on Youtube.

MCC is a member of the Coalition of Urban Metropolitan Universities. In 2015, MCC partnered with University of Nebraska-Omaha, and the Ohio State University to present on various sustainable food operations which are occurring on our campuses. MCC focused on our horticulture/culinary degree program.

In April of 2015, MCC partnered with University of Nebraska-Omaha to promote a Sustainability Food Consortium. This was an all day event in which community members, non-profits, food producers, and other institutions came together to see how they could help one another with reaching an end goal of a sustainable food system in Omaha.
