Celebrations planned to mark half century of academic excellence
Bellevue, Wash – It all started with fewer than 500 students taking classes in temporary space in 1966. The foundation was strong, though, growing into Bellevue College, a school about 10 miles east of downtown Seattle that is about to celebrate a major milestone.
Bellevue turns 50 years old in 2016. To mark the half century of education excellence, Bellevue College is planning a year-long celebration that ranges from an informal birthday party on campus Jan. 13 to a birthday festival during Homecoming week and a visit by the Washington State Supreme Court in November.
