Norm & Company features Educational pioneer, Dr. Alice Holloway Young

Dr. Young was a Founding Trustee & Board Emerita at Monroe Community College (MCC) and has been a leader in the fight for greater equality in education. Dr. Young shared what it was like growing up on a farm in the rural South, her role in bringing the Urban-Suburban program to Rochester schools, how she became involved in MCC, and what she hoped her legacy will be.
