Campbellsville University will hold a dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony at 1pmET, Thursday, November 19, 2009, at The Brockman Center, 606 N. Lincoln Blvd., Hodgenville, KY, two miles north of the town square on KY 210.

Plans for the dedication include addresses by: Hodgenville Mayor Terry Cruse, LaRue County Judge/Executive Tommy Turner, Campbellsville University President Michael V. Carter and the Rev. Mike Rodgers, senior pastor at Hodgenville First Baptist Church.



The open house will give those in LaRue and surrounding counties an opportunity to tour the building, meet Brockman Center faculty and students, meet Campbellsville University administrators, faculty and staff and learn more about the programs offered at the Brockman Center.

"We are excited about the opening of the Brockman Center in Hodgenville," Dr. Michael V. Carter, president, said.

"In addition to dedicating the building for use on November 19, we will also look forward to the opportunity to honor two donors who have made this project possible."

Bronze plaques honoring the two major donors to the building, Freddie Hilpp and Dr. E. Britt Brockman, will be unveiled at the ceremony.

A professor at the Brockman Center, Dr. Laurice Rogers, and a Brockman Center student, will help in the dedication of the building. The LaRue County High School Band will also perform.

Dr. Keith Spears, vice president for regional and professional education, will be the master of ceremonies for the event. John Chowning, vice president for church and external relations and executive assistant to the president, will lead in a responsive reading and dedication prayer.

Spears said, "We are excited to be in Hodgenville, and we look forward to working with the people of LaRue County. This is their campus. We are interested in knowing what programs the region needs at the academic center."

There will be tours of the building, which includes four media-equipped classrooms, a technology lab, student lounge and a reception area.

The 5,500-square-foot building will become the "hub in Hodgenville community education," Spears said.

Six classes will be taught in the spring on Tuesday and Thursday nights for general studies. Four are being taught presently including courses in English, history and psychology.

There will be distance learning in the building which will also feature room for community meetings.

The Campbellsville University Technology Training Center will offer various computer technology classes and Kids College, which was offered at Hodgenville for the first time this summer.

Refreshments will be served at the event.
