2025 MC Parent of the Year Winners
Established in 2019, the Metropolitan College Parent of the Year Award honors the unwavering support and dedication of parents and caregivers who have made a meaningful impact in the lives of Metropolitan College participants.
Students from Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) and the University of Louisville (UofL) were invited to nominate a parent or caregiver who played a pivotal role in their academic and personal journey. A selection committee made up of leaders from Metropolitan College and UPS reviewed the heartfelt student essays and selected one outstanding recipient from each institution.
All nominated parents received a congratulatory letter and complimentary tickets to the UofL football game on September 20. Each award winner was also presented with a commemorative plaque in recognition of their extraordinary support.
At Metropolitan College, we recognize that families are a vital part of our students’ success. We extend our heartfelt congratulations and sincere appreciation to the 2025 Parent of the Year Award winners and all nominees. Your commitment and encouragement do not go unnoticed.
