NMCC 50th Anniversary Celebration January 12, 2011

Get ready to celebrate!



On January 12th we'll be celebrating in the gym on campus and launching a year of celebration in honor of the college's 50th anniversary.

Details from a recent press release:

Activity on campus will begin shortly into the New Year with the start of the new semester, when the community is invited to join students, faculty, staff and alumni of NMCC, and its forerunners Northern Maine Vocational Technical Institute and Northern Maine Technical College, for flashback to the early 1960’s. A sock-hop, complete with music and entertainment from the era, a noon time malt shop themed meal, and indoor drive-in theatre will be held in the NMCC Gymnasium on Wednesday, January 12, between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

“We wanted to kick-off our celebration with a fun event that our students, employees and community members could all take part in and enjoy,” said Jason Parent, NMCC director of development and college relations and a member of the NMCC 50th anniversary celebration planning committee. “The idea of a sock-hop was developed as a way to celebrate the popular culture at the time of the late 1950’s and early 1960’s as the College came to be.”
