Southeast College has returned to its Weyburn Comprehensive location on King Street, after spending some time housed at the City Centre Mall. Classes are now underway in the newly-built facilities, and the college is gearing up to celebrate its new location.
The grand opening for the Weyburn campus will be held on Thursday, Oct. 6, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The college had been housed in the old Collegiate building until that part of the building was demolished, and the college was temporarily housed in the City Centre Mall until the spring, when they moved over into their new quarters at the Comp.
The formal agenda for the grand opening will be emceed by Jeff Richards, and will begin at 11 a.m.
Some of the guests who will speak include Bronwyn Eyre, the Minister of Advanced Education, Judi Jones, chair of the Southeast College’s board of governors, and Dion McGrath, president and CEO of Southeast College.
There will be a scholarship presentation made, and a ribbon-cutting will follow, with tours of the college’s new facilities, and a barbecue lunch.
The lunch will feature barbecued hamburgers, a bag of chips and pop or water for a $5 donation, with proceeds to go to the Southeast College Education Foundation, which funds scholarships for students at the college.
