Description:
This booklet was meant to sketch out the need for vocational education in Hennepin County including a chart of post high-school projections, the schools mission, information on the development of the campus buildings, proposed courses,and a listing of the school board members.
Lee Gresser was the first director and employee of Hennepin Technical College. He, the District 287 Board (made up of 15 individual suburban school districts), and Richard Emery were instrumental in lobbying for a suburban vocational-technical school, buying land, deciding which programs to offer, and who to hire to teach the programs. Lee was interviewed by Joyce Randall Senechal. Also present in the room were Carole Carlson and Marty Patterson.
