Beau Jensen

Lakeview native is living the dream

Like many students coming out of high school, Beau Jensen had no idea what kind of career field he wanted to go into, but Montcalm Community College was there as a steppingstone toward his future. Jensen took several dual enrollment classes at MCC while attending Lakeview High school, so his transition to the college was simple. He said the main reasons he chose to attend MCC were because he was already familiar with the college, he could take the same classes at lower prices than most other schools and it gave him time to figure out his next steps.

I was familiar with the college, having taken swimming lessons there as a child, and it was only a short drive for me.”
