UP SPACO!!!

Greetings to everyone! On behalf of all SPC alumni here in the USA and at home I welcome you all to our annual reunion and the celebration of our Patron Saint day (St. Patrick) that celebrate every year on the 17th of March.

We decide to celebrate this event today since 17th fell on a weekday but based on this we are celebrating it on a weekend before the fixed day so as to accommodate our presence here today.

I thank you all for honoring our invitation to come and merry with us and also come to help us raise the fund that we so desire to help us complete our project of remodeling the school Dinning Hall.

Two years ago, we raised funds as we are doing today to remodel our school kitchen and today we are proud to inform you all that the kitchen have been commissioned and is in use now by the students.

This was done with the help of people like you that made that project possible based on helpful hands as yours. Ladies and gentlemen, we have embarked on that project and we shall be very grateful to give you a progress report next time we meet.

Our mission today is to raise money for our cause and also we are here to party with you and also we shall enjoy.

I use this occasion again to thank you all here and also to thank you all for finding time to be with us.

Please remember that your donation to SPC is tax deductible.

Thank you again and God bless.

Chris. E. Oyobio, Sr.

President                

BIRTH OF THE COLLEGE

When Monsignor James Moynagh took over in 1930 from the Prefecture of Calabar, then comprising the areas now known as Akwa Ibom and Cross River States plus, Abakiliki district, there was no secondary school in the entire zone.  The nearest schools were Christ the King College and St. Charles College, all in Onitsha.

Texas Southern University has named Dr. Sunny E. Ohia as the new Vice President of Academic Affairs and Provost, announced President John M. Rudley today, July 1, 2008. Dr. Ohia will join the TSU administration this September, in time for the fall 2008 semester.  His appointment is subject to official approval by the Texas Southern Board of Regents at their next meeting.

Dr. Ohia, who is currently the dean of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Houston, has 16 years of academic leadership experience. He served the last five and a half years at UH. During Ohia's tenure, the UH College has experienced increases in total research expenditures by more than 400 percent.  The number of endowed scholarships has increased by more than 120 percent to a total of more than $1.5 million, graduate student enrollment is up approximately 70 percent, and total expenditures from State government and local sources are up more than 100 percent.
