CCC Seeks Memorabilia for Exhibit

The Camden County College community is marking its 40-year anniversary, and a planned campus exhibit will commemorate this milestone by showcasing CCC-related memorabilia.

Organizers would like to create the exhibit using items borrowed from students and faculty of all decades in the college’s existence. The Blackwood Campus Library will display these personal mementos as a way to recall and celebrate past and present times at CCC.

“It could be a beanie, a T-shirt, a dried corsage,” said Joan Getaz, library director. “Photographs would be great, too!”

The exhibit will open Sept. 4 and run through Nov. 30, with materials being displayed in three successive groupings. The first will highlight student life, featuring items from the late 1960s through today. The second will celebrate the college’s faculty members both inside and outside the classroom. The third will honor CCC’s four presidents and their respective tenures.

To loan personal items for the displays, contact Getaz by telephone at (856) 227-7200, ext. 4406, or via e-mail at jgetaz@camdencc.edu. All memorabilia must be delivered to the Blackwood Campus Library. All pieces will be displayed in locked cases until being returned at the conclusion of the exhibit.

As another part of its 40th anniversary celebration, the college is seeking graduates and other former students for its new Wall of Fame. Plans are for the name of anyone who ever enrolled at CCC to be placed on the wall. The Madison Connector Building, now under construction on the Blackwood Campus, will house this commemoration of students served by the college during its first 40 years. To ensure your inclusion, visit www.camdencc.edu/alumni/index.htm and fill out the form located there.
