Posted at 3:02 PMh in News by

The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton (UACCM) will mark its 60th year as an institution this year. To commemorate the milestone, a year of celebrations will take place. 

An inaugural fundraising gala is planned for February at the UACCM Workforce Training Center in Morrilton. The theme is “A Moment in Time.”

The theme for the 60th anniversary celebration is “Cheers to 60 Years,” with sub-themes for several of the individual events throughout the year. Each month of 2023 will feature a key event to celebrate the milestone.

On Saturday, Feb. 25, at the UACCM Workforce Training Center, UACCM will mark its 60th year with a new tradition, an inaugural gala fundraiser – “A Moment in Time.” The gala will include fine wine and dinner. Seating is limited for the formal affair, and valet parking and a coat check will be available. 

The evening will also feature both silent and live auctions, with all proceeds benefitting the construction of a commemorative clock tower on the UACCM campus. Admission will be by purchase of individual or coupled tickets, or sponsorship tier packages. 

For more information about the gala, contact UACCM Development Officer Taylor Holland at 501.977.2085 or visit uaccm.edu/gala. 

Several more events will take place throughout the year, such as the “Aiming for Education” trap shoot in April, the “Links for Learning” golf tournament in June, the opening of the UACCM Historical Archives Exhibit in July, and tentative plans for a special guest speaker from NASA in October. More details about these events will be made available as they approach. For the most current list of events, visit uaccm.edu/60.
