Historical Note

At the October 26, 1967 Board of Trustees meeting, Tacoma Community College President Dr. Thornton Ford asked for authority to submit recommendations for the dedication of the campus at the next board meeting. The recommendations included a proposal to name the Fine Arts Building in honor of Dr. Angelo Giaudrone; that proposal was subsequently approved by the Board. At the November 30, 1967 meeting of the Board, it was agreed that the dedication be held on February 15-16, 1968.
