Dr. Keith Coplin and Dr. Max Pickerill were honored on Aug. 14 during the open house held at the new CCC dormitory
Board of Trustees member Cindy Black introduced the two instructors to those attending the event and explained a scholarship fund established in their names.
“Because Max Pickerill and Keith Coplin have distinguished themselves as Exemplary Scholars at Colby Community College, we are establishing a scholarship fund in their names through the Thomas County Community Foundation,” said Black. “It will be called the Academic Excellence Scholarship Fund and contributions can be made to the Foundation.”
To honor Dr. Pickerill and Dr. Coplin, scholarships will be awarded annually to students majoring in English literature and chemistry.
The two instructors were also recognized with large portraits which will remain on display in the H.F. Davis Library.
Pickerill is beginning his 101st semester of teaching. Dr. Coplin retired from CCC in May 2008. He began teaching at the college in 1989.
