Speak directly and promptly to Dr. Mac and/or to the office staff whenever you have an issue, small or large, to resolve at the Center. If there is an issue today, for whatever reason, let's resolve it today and move on. We are genuinely here for you to help you find your "voice" and speak up for yourself respectfully. The answer to your question will very likely be "yes!" because MAC wants to give you whatever you need as long as it is legal, moral, ethical and humanly possible. Keep in mind that you are ultimately responsible for your education. We at MAC are facilitators of learning. You are in charge of the quality and direction of your own learning. You are driving the "bus" of your life. Better still, why not own the "bus company" or aspire to be the Secretary of Transportation of your own life? You are the man. Your are the woman.
