September 2023 Group Watch: Marion Military Institute Gets Funding Backed by Senator Britt
U.S. Senator Katie Britt recently celebrated $34 million in funding from the National Institute of Standards and Technology for a new Math and Science Building at Marion Military Institute’s Perry County campus. MMI has prepared young men and women across the country for successful civilian and military careers since 1842. It is a part of the Alabama Community College System and one of only four military junior colleges in the nation. According to Britt’s office, the new classroom space will enable the campus to expand course offerings in fields such as computer science, cybersecurity and information technology. MMI is home to one of the nation’s top Service Academy Programs, with more than 600 cadets receiving Academy appointments in the last seven years, and the school also counts more than 216 generals and admirals among its alumni.
