Frederick Community College is inviting all members of the community to visit campus for a free day of interactive and engaging activities on Wednesday, September 27.
 
“Community Day” is part of the College’s Inauguration celebration featuring events throughout the month, culminating in the formal installation of the 11^th President of FCC, Dr. Annesa Payne Cheek, on Friday, September 29.
 
“President Cheek often says FCC is ‘THE community’s college,’ and we hope our Community Day will truly reflect that,” said Jeanni Winston-Muir, FCC Interim Associate Vice President for Student Affairs. “FCC is fortunate to be a part of such a supportive and dynamic community, and we want to make sure all community members have the opportunity to join our Inaugural Celebration and understand how much we value and appreciate their role in our College’s success.”
 
All of the day’s events occur in and around the Student Center between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., to include a Wellness and Volunteer Fair featuring non-profits from across the county. An outdoor movie will be featured on the Athletics Center Quad at 8 p.m.
