DALLAS, N.C. — Gaston College celebrates a half- century of excellence and growth during the 2014- 2015 academic year, with events and activities filling the college’s calendar from this August through com- mencement in May 2015. The signature sponsor of the Gaston College 50th An- niversary Celebration activ- ities is CaroMont Health. Fifty years ago, Gaston College’s first classes met in the First United Methodist Church building in Gasto- nia. Just two months later, the college moved to its campus on Route 321 in Dallas and Gaston College has been going strong ever since. It expanded into Lin- coln County in 1969 and in 2000 the facilities there were designated as the col- lege’s Lincoln Campus. The North Carolina Center for Applied Textile Technology became part of Gaston Col- lege in 2005 and in 2010 that Belmont location be- came the Kimbrell Campus and Textile Technology Center. Curriculum and student body growth have been steady. In its first year, Gas- ton College offered classes in business administration, education and liberal arts and its first graduating class in consisted of six students. In 2013-2014, Gaston Col- lege graduated 792 students. The college now enrolls over 5,000 students each term in over 100 curriculum programs and averages over 16,000 students a year in its Wednesday, August 13, 2014 Lady Mountaineer volleyball (Gaston College marks 50th anniversary Continuing Education pro- grams.

In- vited members of the com- munity will be asked to pay a small fee to attend. The first installment of the series will be on Friday, September 26, with a very special guest—country music star Jimmy Wayne.

September 26 also marks the community kick-off of the Gaston College 50th An- niversary Celebration with a Barbecue on the Lawn out- side the Myers Center on the Dallas Campus, followed by a Jimmy Wayne concert in the Myers Center Multi-Pur- pose Auditorium.
