·        Don Kettner, DCC President Emeritus, was appointed by Governor Racicot to the Montana Commission on Community Service.  This 15-member commission administers $3.5 million for such programs as the College Campus Compact, Ameri-Corps, the National Senior Citizens Corps, and the Learn & Service America Corps.

 

·        The 2^nd Annual Student/Staff Softball Game and Barbecue was held on Friday, October 13^th.  The staff held off a serious onslaught by the students in the closing innings to secure the win.  This annual activity helps create and promote a strong social connection between students and staff – a hallmark characteristic of DCC.
