February 5, 2010 (El Cajon) -- Cuyamaca College’s $28 million business and technology building has opened, just as students returned to campus for the start of the spring 2010 semester. Once relegated to temporary trailers, shared with a nest of skunks, the various disciplines in the business department are delighted to finally have a building to call their own.
This is the fourth new building to open at Cuyamaca in three years and is the last of the Prop. R bond-funded new facilities for the college.
Doing the honors with ceremonial scissors for the ribbon cutting was Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District governing board president Bill Garrett. A ribbon of toy paper money was strung together in keeping with the grand-opening theme of the stock exchange. (Front row, from left, are: governing board trustees Mary Kay Rosinski, Deanna Weeks, Greg Barr, Garrett and student trustee Charles Taylor III. Second row, from left: trustee Rick Alexander, college interim president Ron Manzoni; Chancellor Cindy L. Miles; and student trustee Christopher Enders. )
Dr. Cindy L. Miles, chancellor of the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District, thanked the many people who made the construction of the $28 million building possible. Shown on the monitor behind her is a mock stock certificate, part of the event’s theme of an initial public offering on the “Cuyamaca Stock Exchange.”
