Spring arrived this week 

Spring arrived this week and retired art instructor Vic Connor visited campus to ensure OCC’s iconic Equinox Sculpture is correctly marking the occasion. Connor designed the sculpture in the early 1980s and it was later constructed by students in the Welding Program. Large rocks at the site are notched designating the sun’s zenith on the Spring and Fall equinoxes and the Summer and Winter solstices. Connor said slight adjustments must be made periodically to compensate for the natural movement of the stones over time. He detected a slight change on Monday and adjusted the mark accordingly.
