Professor Elam

Weekend November 3-4, 2012

The formal ground breaking for the next two buildings at the Main Campus came off as scheduled.

The day had a military theme as one building , Patriots' Casa,  will be dedicated to Military Students. All branches of the service were on hand and we were there to  commemorate the event. 

By the way, has anyone  noticed the fountain?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There were food trucks and food booths, this couple was running the Chik Fil A stand.

All branches of the service had a presence at the event. 

The construction is actually under way but there are artist renderings of what the buildings are expected to become.
