A welcome reception honoring Richard Collings, Southwestern Community College’s new president, will be held Wednesday, Nov. 10, from 4-5 p.m. at the Macon Campus’ Groves Center.

Collings, who was president of Wayne State College in Nebraska, became Southwestern’s fifth president upon the retirement of SCC President Emeritus Cecil Groves.
