Sleuthing Series — Campus Dedication (Sept. 24, 1972)
JCCC Archives presents the Sleuthing Series, where every Tuesday, we bring you an image from our past and ask you to help us find out more!
What We Know
The first semester of classes at the “Campus on the Boulevard” began on August 24, 1972. This is according to the Fall 1972 schedule of classes. Many were still trying to arrange office space. The Commons was still under construction and was not, yet, open to the public. Guests were warned, “Please observe caution signs.”
With 3,600 students enrolled in credit courses and another 2,500 in adult continuing education classes, JCCC was the largest public two-year college in the state and the third largest college in the Kansas City area.
What We Don’t Know
See if you can identify any of the college or community people in the photos below. Please add a comment if you recognize anyone that we did not.
The small announcement (below) folded to just less than 3″x4″ with the face on front and the information and seal inside. How or where it was distributed is not clear, but it informed the students and community about the anticipated move.
