Voices of Cow Eye

Cow Eye Community College's first-annual VOICES OF COW EYE competition was an amazing success! Held during our recent Christmas Week festivities, this exciting event offered students, faculty, staff, administrators, and even visiting accreditation team members the chance to present their favorite rhetorical milestones from American history set to the musical accompaniment of diverse contemporary songs and dances. The event was sponsored by the CECC Student Government Coalition, the Cow Eye Chamber of Commerce, and our very own History Department. Congratulations to animal science student Ross Billcraft for his winning entry, Theodore Roosevelt's "Right of the People to Rule" set to the accompaniment of Sanskrit chanting for the Aarti Puja Prayer. And congratulations to all the other fantastic entries. Let's do it again next year!
