Let’s hope enrollment grows in HKY. It would be a shame to start calling it “Everts’ Folly”

The effort to establish a Hickory Campus goes back to Chancellor Borkowski and a handful of Catawba County folks. Credit to Everts , she found a way. There was some good fortune involved along the way certainly but she got it done and by all accounts it is making a difference in the lives of those that take advantage of the opportunity.

They should do a basketball ball game every year in Hickory.
.
They let me walk around freely in the open part of the building, and I took a lot of pictures when I dropped by there a few weeks ago. When I was there is was pretty much empty of students and staff, though it was a Friday around lunch time.
I did look in a science lab, and it may have been labeled Chemistry lab. I did not see any gas outlets nor any lab benches with fume hoods but it is possible the room was not finished.
I am not sure how many classrooms are up and running. The cafe area which would have been in use when it was an office building was not ready for use but I am not sure it needed to be gutted to make it usable either. I did like all the social areas, which will be nice to have since dorms are not an option. I did notice a few clubs announced, though I can't remember the clubs purpose.
Props on showing the football game. That should be a regular feature, and maybe attract some alumni in the area.
Do these students pay the athletic fees that does allow admission into athletic events? I was going to ask a few questions in the admissions office but I needed to get to Boone myself to make the field hockey game that was the purpose of the trip.
