Celebrating Our 懂色帝Family: Honoring Recent Retirees

September 25, 2025

On Wednesday, September 24, 2025, 懂色帝 President Dr. Jason Hurst hosted a retirement reception honoring CCC’s recent retirees. Fellow employees joined Dr. Hurst to celebrate the seven retirees.

Everyone enjoyed fellowship and refreshments, and the retirees had the opportunity to say a few words. The recurring themes in each person’s comments were that employees at 懂色帝are family, and that coming back to campus for this event felt like coming home.

Congratulations to our retirees. We hope you enjoy this new phase of life!
