Roadrunner Mascot

The roadrunner became a symbol for Morgan Community College early in the College’s beginning. With some saying MCC was like the smart and speedy roadrunner made famous by the cartoon character in Looney Tunes-always one step ahead.

The MCC Roadrunner was officially elected by students, faculty, and staff during spring registration beginning in November 1977. Final approval of the Roadrunner took place on January 9, 1978 by the Morgan Area Council (MCC’s governing body). The new roadrunner was featured on the cover of the 1978 yearbook.
