Breathing In, Volume 1
The Inspirational Educators project began as an effort to share
personal stories from the Century College community that demonstrated
the ways educators
and students inspire one another each day.
Century College staff, faculty, administrators, and students submitted
stories that represented the
best of the student-teacher relationship.
In 2007, forty-three stories were compiled, edited, and bound in a
collection entitled, "Breathing In: Stories from the Century College Community."
This well-received publication, a celebration of learning,
has been distributed
at conferences across the country, within the MnSCU system, and to Century College employees, students, alumni and community members.
Sample Stories include:
Breathing In, Volume 2
Century College Alumni Association Board members enthusiastically supported
Breathing In and offered to sponsor the second volume. To date,
30 stories about educators, staff, and students have been contributed, reflecting the diverse and
chance encounters leading to education.
Breathing In, Volume 2 focuses on Century College graduates and retirees,
and serves to remind people that their relationship with Century College doesn’t
end when they leave; rather, it’s a cyclical relationship that continues into the future.
One contributor wrote about her father, now deceased, and another wrote about a
fellow student.

exploring the possibility of including historical photographs of Century College.
