60 Years Strong: new Library exhibit on Central Piedmont

Exhibit of Central Piedmont artifacts of photos, brochures and historical items surrounding a large tree with the college seal on the tree trunk.“60 Years Strong – How Deep Our Roots Go,” an exhibition by the Central Piedmont Archives, celebrates Central Piedmont’s rich history and the success of our institution over six decades.

Our college seal inspires the crafted tree and represents our growth into a “mighty tree” of an institution in Mecklenburg County. When viewing the display, you will learn about some of the many examples of educational opportunities championed by our current and past presidents displayed along the bottom of the case, symbolized as the roots. Evidence of these opportunities’ positive impact on student success is represented by the branches and leaves that have grown from these roots.

This exhibition is dedicated to our students of present, past, and future who make an impact in historic ways.

To view the display in person, please visit the Archives on the third floor of the Hagemeyer Library in the Parr Center, Central Campus.

To view the display online, please visit our digital exhibit guide.
