Marking a half-century of providing comprehensive education and workforce training opportunities to the citizens of the five-county upper and mid Eastern Shore, Chesapeake College has announced a multi-year 50th anniversary celebration beginning in August 2015.  Chesapeake College was chartered in December 1965.

Chesapeake’s President Dr. Barbara Viniar says the College has launched a planning initiative for the 50th anniversary that seeks feedback from alumni, community members, business leaders, government officials, faculty and students.
