| Hello! Alumni and Friends, |
Here's what's happening at Jones!
More than 300 JCJC students, faculty, staff and community members like Kelin Ferril stuck out a 'paw' for the annual spring blood drive.  Signs of Spring have begun to show as flowers bloom on campus and the purple wisteria begin covering the arbors. Cooler weather than normal has slowed this year's colorful blossoming.
