A Statewide Network For Biology Educators

MCCB provides a state-wide forum for sharing instructional techniques and up-to-date information for
teaching college-level biology. The organization fosters communication, friendship, and unity among
the biologists of the twenty-nine community colleges in the State of Michigan. Our logo reflects the
location of those 29 colleges. Two state-wide conferences are held annually.

Founded in the early 1980’s, MCCB began as an offshoot of COSIP (the College Science Improvement
Program).  Two COSIP groups were originally created in Michigan: a southern group of colleges
(associated with the University of Michigan/Dearborn and directed by Dr. Hertzler) and a northern group
of colleges (associated with Central Michigan University and directed by Dr. Carl Scheel). The initial
meeting to form a statewide organization of community colleges took place at Delta College in 1981.
The first slate of officers was elected at that time, with Eldon Enger as President and Janet Dettloff as
Vice-President
