大学75周年：皇冠博彩开始庆祝校庆
Posted on September 19, 2021
皇冠博彩 kicked off its 75周年 special events Thursday with a luncheon at the 库克教育中心. A full slate of special events will culminate with a 75周年 Gala set for Saturday, May 21, 2022. This year of celebration has been given the tag-line “Looking Back, Moving Forward.”
District President Dr. Kevin Fegan and Board Chairman Phil Judson honored Texas legislators Rep. Cody Harris, Rep. Jake Ellzey and State Sen. Brian Birdwell for their work on House Bill 885 which allowed the college to offer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree to its students. Gov. Greg Abbott signed the bill in June, and it took effect immediately. The first classes are expected to begin the fall semester of 2023, with the first graduates occurring in August of 2024.
A performance followed with an excerpt of a production written by Chair of Theatre Dr. Shellie O’ Neal. The play will be a series of monologues highlighting historic students from the college’s past. O’Neal invited the community to view the free show on a date to be determined in November at the Dawson Auditorium on the Corsicana campus.
Fegan and Judson joined Chair of the 75周年 Committee Stacie Sipes on stage to place the first two items, a commemorative Bulldog coin and a program from the event, into a time capsule to be buried in the courtyard and unearthed in 25 years on the 100th anniversary of the college.
“It will be buried next to the bi-centennial time capsule, which will be dug up in 2026,” Sipes said. “它将在5月的晚会期间关闭。 We appreciate everyone who came out and supported us today and look forward to a fun celebration over the year.”
