The Bakersfield College Alumni Association will be hosting the Herb Loken Hall of Fame induction on Nov. 13 in the Huddle at the Gil Bishop Sports Center.
The association nominates the inductees formed from members of the alumni association, headed by Herb Loken, which the hall of fame is named after. This hall of fame recognizes people who have continued or provided service to BC through the Alumni Association.
Becki Whitson, professor of psychology and president of the BC Alumni Association, says that this is a very nice event and that “people look forward to it.”
Sally Hill, John Turner and Mayor Harvey Hall will be installed on this night. Tickets are $30 in advance only and may be purchased at the Foundation Office. Socializing begins at 6 p.m., and dinner with a program to follow will start at 7 p.m. This will be catered by BC Food Services.
Another event that the alumni association will be putting on is a WWII Veterans Night at the football game on Nov. 15.
The association wanted to recognize WWII veterans who attended BC.
All veterans from this war are invited to come to the game and can get in for free if they wear an article of clothing recognizing their branch of the military that they served for.
A halftime ceremony will announce the veterans. A reception will follow the game in the Huddle. All veterans and members of their families are invited.
