Please join us for an all-campus open forum on Friday, October 11, 2024, to hear remarks from Mr. Cal Turner Jr., for whom the Turner Center is named.

Mr. Turner began his career at Dollar General in 1965, a company founded by his father and grandfather in 1939. He succeeded his father as president in 1977 and became chairman in 1988. By the time of his retirement in 2003, Dollar General had grown into a New York Stock Exchange retailer with more than 6,000 stores across 27 states and annual sales exceeding $6 billion. Mr. Turner chronicled his family’s history and the rise of Dollar General in his 2018 book, My Father’s Business, published by Hachette.

Student Lunch at the Reveille House will follow.
