Lee “Mac” MacArthur
ALPENA — The Alpena Community College Foundation announces the recent establishment of the Lee M. MacArthur (Mac) M.A.C. Solutions Empowerment Scholarship Fund.
This endowed scholarship fund was established by Lee’s children: son, David MacArthur, and daughter, Jennifer MacArthur, to honor and memorialize their beloved father who passed away on June 9, 2024. Lee was known for his thirst for knowledge, a passion for hard work, and a willingness to lend a helping hand to all who knew him.
The Lee M. MacArthur (Mac) M.A.C. Solutions Empowerment Scholarship Fund was created with a donation of $10,000 and it will provide scholarships to students pursuing a degree in ACC’s Concrete Technology Program. MacArthur was a lifelong Alpena resident and a graduate of Alpena High School. He furthered his education at a trade school to become a steam engineer and begin his career as a merchant marine in the U.S. Coast Guard. Later, MacArthur found fulfillment as a power house operator for the LaFarge Corporation until his retirement in 2016.
In addition to his professional achievements, MacArthur was a man of many interests including spending time outdoors duck hunting, fishing, camping, boating, and ice fishing on Grand Lake. However, his greatest joy came from spending quality time with his children, family, and friends.
The ACC Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization which is governed by a volunteer board comprised of 13 community leaders. Since the inception of the ACC Foundation in 1982, a total of $4,382,382 has been awarded to thousands of ACC students.
