Coyotes on campus

Thursday, an alert was sent out to MHCC students and staff that coyotes have been spotted in the woods behind the campus. These animals were seen wandering in the areas near the art buildings. Anyone using the trail heading to Beaver/Kelly Creek should be cautious but also may enjoy a chance to admire them.
