106 Warriner Hall, Mount Pleasant, MI

Charles Stewart Mott Community College, more often referred to as Mott Community College, is a public two year institution founded in 1923 and located in Flint Michigan. The school was originally known as Flint Junior College and held its first classes at Flint Central High School. As enrollment increased the need for a permanent campus became necessary, resulting in a move in 1931 to the Oak Grove Campus.

The school was named Genesee Community College until the time of Mott's death in 1970, at which point the school as renamed in his honor.
