Dyersburg State Community College (DSCC) Gibson County Center recently hosted its annual Donor Scholarship Luncheon for recipients and their respective donors on Thursday, April 11.  The luncheon was sponsored by Farmers & Merchants Bank of Rutherford and Citizens, City and County Bank of Trenton. Ronika Dawson of Milan, and Samantha Doaks and Heather Abdalkhaliq, both of Trenton, were the scholarship recipients who spoke at the luncheon.

For the 29th consecutive year, DSCC hosted the Spanish Feria on the Dyersburg campus. The Feria, held on March 12th, has become one of the capstone events for area high school students taking Spanish language and culture courses.  Students compete in areas as diverse as crafts, cooking, dictation and poetry. In recent years, the Spanish video production has become a highlight of the competition.

This year approximately 199 students from Bradford, Brighton, Munford, and Ripley High Schools took part in the Feria. They are students in levels I, II, and III of Spanish courses from these schools.

The work of over 75 volunteers from the college and the community is needed to host the event. Planning for the 2013 Feria began in September of 2012. Planning is already underway for the 2014 event.

On Thursday, members of our Jazz Choir traveled to the DSCC Gibson County Center in Trenton to perform at a Donor Scholars Luncheon.  They stopped at a local restaurant afterwards and while waiting for their food, broke out in an impromptu song and some of it was caught on video.  Check it out and feel free to share!!
