Students Awarded Scholarships at Honors Convocation Ceremony
One hundred and thirty seven scholarship awards were handed out at Dutchess Community College’s Honors Convocation on May 15.
More than $100,000 in scholarship money was awarded to students this year, and more than $715,000 has been given in the Convocation ceremonies since they began 12 years ago.
The scholarships are awarded to both students entering their second year at Dutchess and to graduating students who are moving on to four-year colleges and universities in the fall. DCC scholarships are created by local people and organizations to honor family members and reward academic excellence.

Taconic Hall Plaza Dedicated in Honor of Anthony Krzywicki, the first head of DCC’s Business Department.
Krzywicki, who came to Dutchess Community College in 1958 to run the business department and develop the college bookstore, was one of the College’s founding faculty members. In 1959 he became the first head of the department. He is credited with developing the first business programs at DCC, as well as teaching most of the early courses in general business, retailing, and secretarial science. He retired in 1986. Krzywicki has a master’s degree in Business Education from Columbia University, and was formerly a professor at Bucknell University where he earned his bachelor’s degree.

Golf Tournament—May 19
Our 19th Annual Golf Tournament, in memory of Jack Orcutt, will be held on May 19 at Dutchess Golf and Country Club. All money raised will benefit student scholarships.
Come join us for a fun-filled day of horse racing at the Historical Saratoga Race Track.
“Going once, going twice, SOLD…” and what a wonderful success the Fifth Annual Benefit Auction “Festifall” 2007 was. The atmosphere was very festive with all of the beautiful chrysanthemums and autumnal flair adding to the picturesque setting at Dutchess Golf and Country Club. We have been hearing wonderful comments and we are very pleased with the outcome of the festivities.
The event was held on October 12th and raised over $56,000 and drew together about 100 Alumni and friends of Dutchess Community College. The proceeds raised benefit student scholarships, faculty/staff mini-grants, and other educational enhancements to our campus.
We could not have done it without the support provided by our donors, participants, and volunteers.
