Making Tracks Since 1970
The Harris Center is turning 50, and we’re planning a whole year of celebrations! The festivities will kick off with our 49th Annual Meeting on October 20 and run through our 50th Annual Meeting in October 2020. Along the way, there will be dozens of special events, stories, photos, art, two special books, profiles of people who hold a special place in the Harris Center’s history, commemorative merchandise, and more.
We’ll be launching our “50 Years” webpage — a new home on the web for all things related to the Harris Center’s 50th Anniversary — as part of the Annual Meeting kickoff in October, so stay tuned!
