The Holcombe Era will undoubtedly be remembered for the efforts of the college to assist in workforce development and make the college a greater resource to community employers. Here, IBM officials present the college with a plaque commemorating the industry giant's $1 million-plus donation to establish a computer-intergrated manufacturing center. From left to right are John Hannifan (IBM vice president and branch manager), Richard Wessel (IBM branch manager), David Rush (CEO of Aptek industries), Dr. Holcombe, and BCC District Board of Trustees Chairman Michael Curran. Wessel and Rush also served on the BCC Foundation board.
