The date was September 22, 1955, and 121 students decided to take the educational gamble of a lifetime. They started day classes at a brand new Long Island college that had no traditions, no academic reputation and no conventional classrooms. Over the next 50 years, the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University blossomed into a thriving institution with an enrollment of 13,000 full- and part-time students, 240 bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs, elite academic accreditations, 17 intercollegiate sports teams, and 59 academic and recreational buildings. "C.W. Post at 50: A Journey Through Time" takes you through the evolution of a famous Long Island estate into one of the nation’s premier private university campuses. BONUS: DVD also features 30 campus scene photos.
