Students, Employees Honored for Response to Attack
Several MCC students and employees were honored at last night’s MCC board of trustees meeting for their quick response to the Sept. 14 knife attack on MCC-Penn Valley Dean Al Dimmitt. Board President David Disney, who himself was among the immediate responders at the scene of the attack, read a commendation from the board that recognized the “incredible strength and resolve” of those who were in the immediate vicinity of the attack and who were able to restrain the assailant to prevent additional injuries.
Following the presentation Disney commented about how people never know when they will be tested, and his strong emotions toward those that do stand up when they are tested. Disney concluded by stating, “I’m proud to be a part of this organization.”
During an emotional statement delivered by Dimmitt, he thanked his family and those who came to his aid that day.
