All-Class Reunion to reconnect student

by Courtney Bullard, co-news editor

Former South Plains College students will have an opportunity to “recollect and reconnect” during the first-ever All-Class Reunion.

The All-Class Reunion, which will be held Nov. 9 – Nov. 10 on the Levelland campus, will allow alumni to come back to SPC and see the campus and while reuniting with former classmates. The first day of the reunion is an invitation-only event on Nov. 9. It will feature the founder’s reception and recognition, hosted by the SPC Board of Regents, and will honor the founders of SPC and their families. The 1956 Citizens Committee members, original and past members of the Board, original faculty and administration members, as well as other faculty and staff, will be there as well. Later that night is the SPC Texan Classic, with the Texans taking on their 50-year-old rivalry Lubbock Christian Chaparrals JV team at 7 p.m.

“It is the ideal time to get alumni back to see what has changed and how the college has grown,” said Stephen John, vice president of institutional advancement.

Anyone who has ever attended SPC is invited to the second day of the Reunion activities on Nov. 10. It will begin at 11 a.m. with registration in the Student Center mall. A Reunion meet-and-greet session will follow in the Student Center until 3 p.m., when those in attendance can catch up with classmates and faculty during the campus Open House.

There will also be class mixers by department, and programs will be available for campus tours. Faculty will be on campus to discuss changes and visit with former students.

Lunch will be served with 1950s style burgers and hotdogs. Alumni entertainment and door prizes also will be included. Complimentary game tickets will be available for those who register. The Texans will be facing Coastal Bend at 3 p.m. During halftime of that game, former athletes will be recognized.

 

  

Graduation application deadline set for Nov. 1

by Caroline Basile, associate editor

The deadline is quickly approaching for those students at South Plains College who wish to graduate in December.

To be eligible for graduation, students must complete an application, meet all course requirements, be in good financial standing with the college and have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 (“C”) or higher.

At the Levelland campus, applications should be submitted before Nov. 1 at the Admissions and Records Office, located in the Student Services Building. At the Reese Center campus, applications may be dropped of at the Admissions and Records Office in Building 8. At the Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center, applications are to be turned in at Linda Wells’ desk. Also, applications may be taken to the main office at the Plainview Center. Applications may also be found on SPC’s website, http://www.southplainscollege.edu/.

“We encourage students who are unsure if they are able to graduate to visit with their academic advisors or a counselor,” said Andrea Rangel, dean of admissions and registrar. “We also hope since it is the 50th anniversary of SPC that those who graduate in December will return to the May graduation ceremony.”
