North Campus Land Donors' Luncheon (1990)

At a luncheon hosted at FSCJ’s North Campus at the end of May in 1990, campus president Dr. Ezekiel Bryant leads a conversation with a group composed of the surviving land donors to the campus, family members of deceased donors, and college officials affiliated with the creation of North Campus. With the upcoming 20th anniversary of the campus’s opening clearly in mind, Bryant asks the various attendees to recall the circumstances leading up to the creation of the campus. They respond with varying depth and clarity, largely focusing on the support of the Northside Business Coalition in getting the campus located on the northside and on the contributions of local architect John Gravely in organizing the charge.
This event took place at the College's North Campus on May 31, 1990.
