Lee University Celebrates 10 Years Of Progress, Looks Ahead

  • Saturday, September 13, 2014

Lee University will host hundreds of guests, alumni, and community leaders on Friday for Celebration 2014, planned as a “festive and colorful day” commemorating the opening of Lee’s new Communication Arts building.

A service of celebration will begin at 10:30 a.m. in the Conn Center and include the dedication of the new Communication Arts building, a 41,000 square foot structure that was completed in August. 

There will be a public "open house" from 12-3 p.m. at the Communication Arts building, and the community is invited to attend. 

A 300-voice choir will highlight the morning’s festivities, along with an orchestra composed of Lee students. The event will begin with a processional of Lee faculty in academic regalia. An alumni representative from each of the 68 years of Lee’s history on the Cleveland campus, will wear caps and gowns to march alongside the faculty and Board of Directors. 

Morning classes will be cancelled Friday so that students may join other guests for one of 40 special Celebration Seminars conducted simultaneously across campus. Seminars will feature lectures from alumni, faculty, and other guest speakers on a variety of topics from advertising to sculpture to nursing. 

The 68 VIP alumni, as well as other out-of-town guests, will gather on Thursday evening for a Celebration banquet. 

For more information on Celebration, please call the office of Community Relations at 614-8598.
