60th Anniversary Celebration

< Back

For release: 10 April, 2013

Whether you have earned your degree, taught a class, attended a show, or learned a new skill here, consider yourself part of our 60th anniversary celebration. If you have attended a concert, a camp, a graduation, or a sporting event, you too are a part of it. In fact, the entire community is part of our 60th.

Why?

Because the success of the College relies on the entire community. Together we have accomplished great things over the past 60 years and it is together that we will move forward to create more. Are you ready to celebrate? We certainly are—and we hope you will join us!

Getting Started

Little by little you’ll see the signs—a 60th anniversary logo, advertising that highlights our successes, events that welcome you to campus—signs that Our History is Only the Beginning is more than an anniversary tagline. It’s a promise. Our hope is that you will come back to this site throughout the year and join us as we look back on our rich 60 year history, and more importantly, celebrate all that is still to come.
