Brunswick Community College officially dedicated the Dan and Linda Lynes Health Sciences Center during a special ribbon cutting ceremony held on campus on May 19. More than 100 family members, friends, community leaders, faculty, staff, and supporters gathered to celebrate the Lynes family’s longtime commitment to student success and healthcare education at BCC.
The ceremony featured remarks from BCC President Dr. Gene Smith, Dan and Linda Lynes, and former nursing student and Lynes Scholarship recipient Dr. Katie Caison. Guests also enjoyed a reception, facility tours, and demonstrations inside the Health Sciences Center.
Although the facility has served students for several years, the ceremony formally recognized the Lynes family’s lasting generosity and impact on Brunswick Community College.
“A building dedication is far more than placing a name on a structure,” said Dr. Smith. “It is about recognizing a legacy of generosity, vision, and belief in education that has changed lives and strengthened our community for generations to come.”
Dan and Linda Lynes have supported BCC for more than a decade through scholarships, mentorship, and investments that help students pursue healthcare careers and other workforce pathways.
“We are incredibly honored by this recognition,” said Linda Lynes. “We believe education changes lives, and supporting students at BCC has been one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives.”
Today, the Dan and Linda Lynes Health Sciences Center houses programs preparing students for careers in Registered Nursing, Practical Nursing, Dental Assisting, Clinical Medical Assisting, Phlebotomy, and other healthcare professions. The facility includes classrooms, simulation labs, and hands-on learning environments that prepare graduates to serve healthcare organizations throughout Brunswick County and beyond.
