It has been a great first quarter. I am pleased to report that our Giving Day campaign was a success - all because of you. Thank you to our donors and ambassadors in the support of our College and student programs. I am also thankful to alumnus Mr. David Huiett for his rigorous effort to solicit funds in honor of our Fall 2022 Valedictorian Jack Perrish and the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.
It’s been a busy first quarter. We hosted many events to grow our college and student body as well as enlightened prospective students from all over the region. Our faculty and students have been very active and successful in everything they do.
Looking ahead, we are excited for the plans we are making to celebrate our Centennial Anniversary to take place this coming summer and fall. We’ll launch a special website soon to keep you all informed.
