The ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø College of Technology's Cosmetology program will celebrate its 75th anniversary on Friday, Sept. 21.  The celebration will include an open house and tour of their facilities and a special program to recognize their more than 2,000 alumni.

The open house and tours will be from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the cosmetology classroom and salon, and the special recognition program will start at 3:00 pm in the Culinary Arts Dining Room of the Roy F. Christensen Building.  The public is invited to attend this event and help recognize one of ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø's oldest programs.  Refreshments will be served following the recognition program at 3:00 pm.

During the recognition program, selected alumni will share stories about their time at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø and the professional successes they¡¯ve achieved using their education.  A visual history of the program will also be on display during the all day event.  A longtime friend and supporter of the cosmetology program will also make a special monetary donation during the event.

The ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Cosmetology program was formally approved by the Idaho State Department of Law Enforcement on September 25, 1937.  The program started in a house of Fifth Street before eventually taking up a permanent residence in the Roy F. Christensen Building.  Thousands of clients visit the program every year to receive actual services from students preparing to graduate.
