#5: McLennan AD Shawn Trochim sat down with The Career Play’s Garret Sulak to dive into her career at MCC and what’s ahead for the department. Here are some of her most notable comments…
➤ With over 20 years leading the Highlanders, Trochim on stepping outside her comfort zone: “I challenged myself to get out of my comfort zone to try to go embark on a new responsibility in terms of fundraising and getting out and meeting with donors and talking to people in the community to help try to fund a project like [our baseball and softball upgrades]. I felt like I was kind of stuck, so to speak, and needed new challenges. Over the last five years, we've been able to embark on, like I mentioned, the facility upgrades, the hiring of a second athletic trainer. It's almost unheard of for a junior college to have two athletic trainers. We were able to hire a strength and conditioning coach for the athletic department, and then we started volleyball.”
➤ What’s next for MCC? “The next thing we want to look at is, are we going to be challenging ourselves to look at what on-campus housing may look like for our student body, for our athletic department? A new basketball facility is something that I feel like is on the horizon. I'm not going to promise that, but it is something that we're definitely looking at. … I certainly believe that at some point in time, in the next five years, we could very well have a new basketball facility, a facility where we play basketball, a facility where we play volleyball. I want to dream like that, and I want that to be something that's on the forefront. Just to end that, I want to be able to leave this place when I walk away from it in this position; the next person really truly understands they're set.” (link)
#4: The Minnesota State Board of Trustees has approved the reallocation of up to $25M per year over the next four years to support struggling institutions, with St. Cloud State (NCAA DII) and Bemidji State (NCAA DII) to receive $10M and $4.8M, respectively in FY28. This change will involve shifting funds from two-year colleges to support these institutions, with individual school contributions ranging from $121K to $1.8M. Dakota County Technical and Inver Hills will contribute a combined $747K. President Michael Berndt calls the revised plan “stronger and more thoughtful” while warning, “It’s frankly demoralizing to our employees to see the outcome of our work significantly reduced by seeing our allocation dollars reduced. … More transparency about what has been done, and what is being planned, will enable me to be a better advocate.” (link, link)
#3: Mohave renamed its men’s and women’s soccer facility Firebird Field, constructed in 2024, to Bighorns Field in dedication ceremonies, which also featured new lighted signage. The new branding reflects the college’s identity and the renaming was made possible in partnership with the City of Bullhead City, Bullhead City Rotary, and Mohave College Booster Club.

The River would also evaluate reinstating women’s basketball in 2028-29, pending resource availability, if approved. (link)
