Join us in celebrating and honoring the student leaders among the Kelly ECC community at our Annual Gala Awards.
The Gala is our community’s annual student leadership awards ceremony. It is a celebration that recognizes and pays tribute to student leaders and student organizations for their achievements and hard work throughout the academic school year, as well as recognizes our graduating seniors. To conclude our 50th anniversary, we will also present our community time capsule for 2071 at the Gala.
The Kelly ECC community is invited to share ideas for the 2071 time capsule.
What do you think represents our center and our community, and captures this historic moment in time?
We will collect ideas, and invite our community to vote on the final selection of items for the 2071 time capsule. The time capsule will be presented during the 2022 Gala.
