On Wednesday May 17th, Scott Community College finalized the burial of their 50th Anniversary time capsule on the Belmont Campus. Scott Community College celebrated their 50th Anniversary throughout the year in 2016 with events and activities, including the collection of items representing the college through the decades (inventory list attached) that were placed in a time capsule designed and fabricated by faculty and students from the college's Blong Technology Center. The time capsule was made from aluminum donated by ALCOA/ARCONIC, the CNC faculty and students designed and created the 3D emblem that is attached to the exterior of the time capsule, and the SCC library staff worked with the 50th time capsule task force to ensure burial of the items would withstand the elements for another 25 years. A proclamation was read earlier this month, at the May 2nd Bettendorf City Council Meeting, by Mayor Robert Gallagher in honor of this occasion. The signed proclamation from the mayor and a video recording of the reading were interred in the capsule. The time capsule will be unearthed in 2041 when the college celebrates their 75th Anniversary.
