Macon Campus named in honor of SCC President Cecil Groves
Dedication ceremony - August 30, 2007


SCC's Macon Campus was named the Cecil L. Groves Center
A crowd of well-wishers gave SCC President Cecil Groves a standing ovation during the dedication ceremony Thursday, Aug. 30, when the new Macon Campus was named the Cecil L. Groves Center in his honor. In making the presentation, SCC Board of Trustees Chairman Conrad Burrell said, "Dr. Groves has been instrumental in the concept, design and development of the project and it was the board's feeling that it would not have been accomplished without his vision and leadership. The project has been a community-based effort, Dr. Groves, will be the first to tell you that. But what he probably won't tell you is that he is the one who brought the community together to realize the need and potential for Macon's very own college. Before this building could be built, consensus had to be built. And Dr. Groves was that builder."
