CBS 7 - Your Eye on West Texas
The Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf in Big Spring kicked off a special weekend of celebrations Thursday Night to celebrate it's 30th birthday.
The college is hosting its first full alumni reunion event.
Throughout the weekend, SWCID will hold several events, inside and outside to mark more than 30 years since it opened its doors for the deaf community in west Texas and across the state.
Several buildings will be renamed, plus it will give alums a chance to catch back up.
With the help of translator Danny Campbell, Provost Mark Myers says it's the biggest weekend for the college since the first weekend it was open.
"This is a very special event. The alumni will be coming in and it's the first time they've had their own alumni reunion celebration for SWCID. So we're very excited about the alumni coming in."
By the way, Danny Campbell is the only remaining original employee from SWCID's opening, though another original employee came back after a few years absence.
