Watching students succeed highlight of Dr. Phil Sutphin’s tenure at ECCC
    Of all the accomplishments during Dr. Phil A. Sutphin’s 12-year tenure as East Central Community College’s seventh president, his fondest memory is a simple one: watching students graduate.
    “Whether it is a commencement in May, a GED graduation ceremony or a healthcare pinning, the joy and sense of accomplishment is evident on all faces – students, families and faculty,” Sutphin said. “After all, is that not the college’s mission?”
    Sutphin, who announced his retirement plans at the November 2011 meeting of the college’s Board of Trustees, will have completed 42 years in education when he officially steps down on June 30.
