Choosing a college major is one of the most difficult decisions students will face in their academic careers. That’s why Cochise College is hosting events to help high school and college students learn about the wide array of available career programs located close to home, and find the direction that’s best suited for them.

Meet Your Major and High School Expo events will be held Feb. 13 at the Sierra Vista Campus Student Union and March 28 at the Douglas Campus. 

Sierra Vista United Methodist Church (SVUMC) will hold its 8th Annual Western Heritage on Feb. 5. This special Sunday recalls the bold men and women who built the Old West. All services will feature special music by the SVUMC Choir, the Sugartones, Thunder Mountain 4, Desert Song, The Cochise Chordsmen, and the Arthritis Brothers. The message will be in the unique form of a western drama, presented via old-time radio format.
