The Jerome P. McHugh Alumni Plaza


On Saturday, October 13, 2001, the Jerome P. McHugh Alumni Plaza was officially dedicated on the new Western Ridge. All reunion classes from past and present are honored on the Plaza with their own class stone, engraved with a phrase that captures the essence of their era. CC President Kathryn Mohrman and Jerome P. McHugh's grandchildren unveil the Alumni Plaza Stone
These are the phrases that the students from the Student/Alumni Association picked for the classes who already celebrated their 50th reunion. The phrases for the classes of '51 and younger were chosen by the class members themselves.
