Hall of Fame :: Meet the Lee College Greats
The Hall of Fame has recently been moved to the Student Center's Cyber Cafe. Stop by sometime and glance through some of Lee College's most outstanding students since 1936! Students inducted to the Fall of Fame are nominated by faculty and staff and ultimately determined by a committee. Who knows, one day your photo may be among those included in the Hall of Fame!
Mad Platter Bash and Silent Auction - Success!
The Ceramics Studio’s Mad Platter Bash and Silent Auction reported an overwhelming success. They had a total of 70 ceramic pieces; most were decorated by invited members of the community, artists, faculty and our wonderful students.
Food was donated by Zoes Creative Catering, and C & D Grocery & Bakery. Also, many students and faculty and friends brought food, energy and helped serve.
Over 125 people attended who not only enjoyed the wonderful food and company, but also, the entertaining performance by the drama department.
The auction brought in $2,500, allowing the Ceramics department to purchase a pugmill for the ceramics & sculpture departments. A pugmill is a machine that makes preparing clay easier for those that are physically challenged and for those who have arthritis or back pain.
Jennifer Herzberg and the Ceramics Studio department express their gratitude for all who participated.
Educational Opportunity Center Celebrates GED Graduates
On April 10, 2008 ten students who passed the GED test at Lee College in 2007 were honored at a special recognition ceremony in the Cyber Café. Keynote speaker for the evening was Dr. Lupe Quintanilla from the University of Houston. She was sponsored by the college’s Title V grant.
Lee College EOC participant Ayesha Herd (right) was one of the ten GED graduates honored at the ceremony.
Library Friends Celebrate National Library Week
The Friends of the Library invited the LC faculty, students and the community to celebrate National Library Week. This year, the Friends, working with the International Education Program, were able to install the Peter’s World Projection map at the entrance of the library. The Peter’s World Projection map shows the world in a non-biased, non-Euro-centric point of view. Students and faculty who attended were drawn by the attention the map exhibits and this instillation will surely encourage many more inquisitive debates. This project supports the annual Lee College goal, which is “to enhance students’ knowledge of other cultures and their understanding of global issues by promoting an international perspective, awareness, and understanding.” Because the Friends have had an excellent year, door prizes from Starbucks and Best Buy were given to students and faculty. The Friends would like to thank LC Board of Regent Pete C. Alfaro [pictured far right] for his support of the Friends.

Honoring a Local Hero
SSG Rene Fernandez, a resident of Baytown and a student at Lee College, recently returned home after serving in the military twelve years. Fernandez, 33, was hit by a roadside bomb in Iraq. He now suffers brain injuries that impair his short-term memory among other pain and problems.
Although Fernandez was retired due to his disabilities, he plans to continue serving his country by being a different sort of hero – a teacher.
Fernandez is an Education student here at Lee College. Because of the lingering effects of his injury, he must study harder and is no longer capable of “cramming” days before a test. But, he looks forward to the day he can fulfill his duty of shaping the minds of his “little troops”.
Fernandez was also recently awarded a new home by the “Helping a Hero” Organization with the help of Meredith Iler. The organization is building a home for him, his wife, and his five children.
