In September of 1946, the Holyoke Graduate School was established as a municipal program providing night-school college classes to returning WWII veterans and other adults. In March of 1947, the Massachusetts General Court enacted legislation permitting municipal higher education programs to be called junior colleges, and on April 7, 1947, the Holyoke School Committee changed the name of the Holyoke Graduate School to Holyoke Junior College. Holyoke Junior College was also referred to as "JC" or "HJC". On July 1, 1964, Holyoke Junior College joined the state community college system and was renamed to Holyoke Community College.
Since that time Holyoke Community College has had five presidents. This cache is to honor the Fifth HCC President, George Timmons, Ph.D.
As stated on the college's website "George Timmons, Ph.D., joins Holyoke Community College as its fifth president, bringing to the college a wealth of experience from a distinguished career in higher education as well as a passion for—and commitment to—student success.
