SLCC Holds Presidential Inauguration Sendoff Concert for Chamber Singers



Salt Lake Community College Chamber Singers will be Washington, D.C. to participate in the Presidential Inauguration Choir competition.  Forty students and faculty from the College will compete with the choir and attend the Inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol building marking the beginning of President Obama’s second term in office on January 21, 2013.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to represent the College and to be apart of this historic event,” said Anna Szabados, SLCC Dean of the School of Arts, Communication and New Media. “The SLCC Chamber Singers are a talented group that reflect well the caliber of student and quality of training at the College. We’re proud to send them to President Obama’s second inauguration ceremony.”

The SLCC Division of Communication and Performing Arts will hold a farewell concert for the Chamber Singers on January 15 at 7:30 p.m. in room 203 of the Technology Building at the Taylorsville Redwood Campus. A live webcast of the concert will be available at: http://www.slcc.edu/video/fl/events/LiveEvent.html.

President Obama’s first term officially ends on January 20 at noon, at which time he will be sworn-in for a second term with his Vice President Joseph Biden. Because that day is a Sunday, in keeping with custom, the public ceremonieswill be held the next day.

A documentary film crew comprised of both SLCC students and faculty will accompany the Chamber Singers to chronicle the trip and performance.

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college.  SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community.
