Dr. Terry Smith, executive vice president and dean for Academic Affairs, and Janet Caruthers, library director, announced the creation of the Columbia College Archives, a unit of the J.W. and Lois Stafford library, which will be located in the lower level of Dorsey Hall.
Smith and Caruthers gave sincere thanks to Bonnie Brouder, former first lady of Columbia College, and Sallie Coley, director of Events, Protocol & Design, for gathering papers, artifacts and other materials over the past several years to begin the unofficial archives. They also thanked Bob Hutton, executive director of administrative services, for coordinating the Dorsey Hall lower level renovation.
“They were instrumental in getting the college archives to this point so more people can learn about the college’s history,” Smith and Caruthers wrote in a letter.
The college is in the beginning stages of hiring a full-time staff member and creating methods of contact. If you have any questions, contact Janet Caruthers at jaocaruthers@ccis.edu or at ext. 7376. Specific information about the Archives’ resources and services will be announced later.
‘This message is for Cecelia Darrough. Ms. Darrough, I have been trying to find your email address on the CCIS website but seem unable to do so. I am interested in being placed on the list of crafters for next year’s (2020) Faculty/Staff December craft show. I was at the event at Battle High this past weekend and a friend told me about what a nice show this is. I had not seen anything about it and believe my product line would certainly fit in.
I am an alumna of Columbia College (1995) and am the owner/chief soapmaker for Heartland Soapworks. I specialize in cold process soap; also making lotion bars, body butters, and linen sprays.
I would like to participate next year so, if you could put me on your list to receive an application next year, I would appreciate it. I will put this on my October calendar so, if I do not hear from you by then, I will be back in touch.
Many thanks!
Ms. Lockwood,
Thank you for reaching out with your question! Ms. Darrough no longer works here at CC, but we are more than glad to assist. Please email saac@ccis.edu and a member of our team will be sure and include you on the invitation for next year’s event. Have a great Holiday and thank you again for the note.
