Southeastern Illinois College will host the grand opening of the new Stanford D. Williams Career and Training Center on Tuesday, Aug. 5, from noon to 3 p.m. at 1700 College Ave. in Carmi.
The event kicks off with a ribbon cutting ceremony at noon in partnership with the Carmi Chamber of Commerce. Guests will hear remarks from college leaders and local officials, enjoy tours of the building, and light refreshments will be available throughout the afternoon.
