It was a summer to renovate our commitment to the intellectual, academic, and personal growth of young leaders and maintain the unity of our learning community as “one program on three sites.” It was also a summer to honor the past and reconnect our alumni’s achievements with the bright future of many new generations to be served by the GSP. On June 13, more than 1,100 scholars—both past and present—all gathered together on Centre College’s campus for Alumni Day. Although Alumni Day has been a recurring event on our three campuses, for the first time this year we united the scholars in one place to meet with GSP alumni who have become leaders throughout our Commonwealth.

Go far.” We help them to realize their potential, to follow their dreams . to literally go anywhere with the skills they gain here. We are a stepping stone for students to find who they really are, what their dreams really are, and to start fulfilling them. As an institution, we thrive on these same principles. Therefore, we pride ourselves on providing innovative programs, which often become best practices and models for the national and international community. MWCC now unfolds the results of the college’s first-ever capital campaign, which resulted in raising nearly $4 million. Because of the success of the capital campaign and the philanthropy of the community we serve, MWCC received the highest match from the state’s Endowment Incentive Matching program. We have now finished construction and opened the Garrison Center for Early Childhood Education, dedicated the college’s library to Leo and Theresa LaChance, and completed Phase I of library renovations. Furthermore, one of the individuals at the heart of this campaign, MWCC trustee and foundation board member Jim Garrison, received national recognition with a 2006 Benefactors Award from the Council for Resource Development for his dedication to the mission of MWCC.

  • Activities and Attractions
    ACTIVITIES AND ATTRACTIONS Imagine yourself sitting in a park on the Seattle waterfront, a double-tall latte and an almond croissant close at hand. The snowy peaks of the Olympic Mountains are shimmering on the far side of Puget Sound, and the ferryboats are coming and going across Elliott Bay. It's a summer day, and the sun is shining. It just doesn't get much better than this unless, of course, you swap the latte for a microbrew and catch a 9:30pm summer sunset. No wonder people love this town so much! Seattle is a city of views, and the must-see panorama is, of course, the view from the top of the Space Needle. With the 21st century in full swing, this image of the future looks decidedly mid-20th-century modern but still it's hard to resist an expensive elevator ride in any city. You can even take a monorail straight out of The Jetson’s to get there (and pass right through the Frank Gehry-designed Experience Music Project en route). EMP, as the Experience Music Project has come to be known, is one of Seattle's latest architectural oddities. Its swooping, multicolored, metal-skinned bulk rises at the foot of the Space Needle, proof that real 21st-century architecture looks nothing like the vision of the future people dreamed of when the Space Needle was built for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. EMP is the brainchild of Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, who built this rock 'n' roll cathedral to house his vast collection of Northwest rock memorabilia.

We thank the artists, both living and dead. Their art, in many ways, stands at the center of contemporary American folk art. This is wonderful and remarkably important work. It should also be noted that Donny Tolson expertly repaired a number of the pieces that are a part of this exhibition. Secondly, we offer our most sincere thanks to Larry Hackley. Without Mr. Hackley’s extensive knowledge of these artists and their work and his willingness to go back and forth with us about innumerable issues over the course of months, this exhibition would not have been possible. We also thank Jason Gibson for the editorial assistance that he provided to Larry. We want to thank all of the individual collectors who invited us into their homes and graciously allowed us to borrow treasured pieces from their collections.
