Jackie Morgan and Jason Flanders are here to guide you!

Everyone needs a little help sometimes. It’s important for students to know that MPTC has a strong support system in place to help them succeed.”

As part of MPTC’s robust student services department, Jackie and Jason provide direct support and personalized one-on-one assistance at all of Moraine Park’s campuses to students needing additional community resource support, including: housing, food, legal, childcare, utilities and healthcare resources, to name a few.

Jackie pursued her education while a student parent and working full-time. She understands the challenges students may face while pursuing their education. She has served in higher education roles that provided direct service to students to help them succeed. Her goal is to work with MPTC students to reduce barriers and link them to support programs, resources and community organizations specific to each student’s need so they can focus on their academic success.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor at MPTC, Jason has heard first-hand about the individual obstacles that students face. Understanding this impact, he believes it is essential for students to have resources available to them. Once these obstacles are addressed, students have more emotional and cognitive energy to focus on their education
