Calling
all Alumni and Friends
to
Glendale College
by
Alex Leon, Office of Communications, Marketing, and Foundation
On
Sunday September 28th, over 500 people gathered to celebrate the 75th
anniversary of Glendale Community College as well as to dedicate the Cimmarusti
Science Center and to honor Dr. Davitt for his years as Superintendent/President
of the college.
The feeling of love and support for the college was seen on the faces of
everyone as they looked at the beautiful new science center and planetarium as
well as many of the improvements that have significantly changed the appearance
of the campus.
Many of the people in attendance were members of two campus organizations
that were created to support this type of event and many others on campus: the
college’s Alumni Association and the newly formed Friends of the Glendale
College Science Center.
The Glendale Community College Alumni Association was established in 1988
as an organization of people who desired to serve and support the college.
A newsletter highlighting alumni activities is published periodically,
and information regarding alumni events on campus is made available through a
mailing list of over 7,000 names.
A new marketing plan is being created for the Alumni Association that is
intended not only to increase membership in the organization, but also to get
more people involved in the college.
Much like the Alumni Association, the newly formed Friends of the Science
Center has been created to support the science center and its activities aimed
at educating K-12 students and teachers as well as the community about the
wonders of science.
Annual membership starts at just $25 and includes a special periodic
newsletter and information about public shows and other events.
Please call Barbara Jordan at (818) 551-5201 for information about
joining the Alumni Association or becoming a Friend of the Science Center.
