A quarter century ago, Amarillo College and long-time Dumas residents planted a bold idea in the Texas Panhandle: that higher education should be within reach for every resident of Moore County. On Thursday, Oct. 16, the community is invited to celebrate the 25th anniversary of that vision—the establishment of AC’s Moore County Campus.

Amarillo College is pleased to announce that Alicia “Jill” Williams has been named dean of Moore County Campus (MCC) Operations, filling the vacancy created by the recent retirement of longtime dean Renée Vincent.Williams, who in May was elected to a three-year term on the Dumas ISD board of trustees, has for the past year and a half served as assistant director of continuing education and workforce development at the MCC-Technical Campus.
