美高梅博彩悼念拉尔夫·琼斯的一生和遗产 之前的 他是我们董事会的忠实成员，服务了近50年。 他的奉献和成就将继续激励后代。

A resident of Denison since 1961, Jones’s journey was marked 通过 a commitment to education, community service and leadership. He attended Texas Tech University and Hardin-Simmons University before graduating from Southern Methodist University’s Graduate School of Banking. 他是一名美国陆军老兵，在朝鲜战争期间曾在装甲野战炮兵部队服役。

琼斯于1969年加入美高梅博彩董事会，在建立美高梅博彩的过程中发挥了关键作用，并在评估该地区社区学院需求的委员会中任职。 In his years of service on the Board, Jones’s leadership was instrumental in many areas, including the initial launch of Grayson Baseball and its return in the early 1990s where the program saw significant success. Additionally, during Jones’s service as a Trustee, 美高梅博彩 worked to change state law to allow community colleges to offer bachelor's degrees, allowing GC to begin the RN to BSN program. 他周到的贡献和无尽的支持使美高梅博彩不仅在德克萨斯州，而且在全国都是首屈一指的社区学院。 

除了他在美高梅博彩的服务，琼斯在银行业享有杰出的职业生涯，并在退休后继续为众多企业和社区委员会做出贡献。 为了表彰他的杰出影响，他于2018年5月被丹尼森市授予首届前进奖。

To commemorate his unwavering service, a residence hall on campus opened in 2018 proudly bears his name—a testament to the mark he left on 美高梅博彩 and the countless lives he impacted.

“The success of 美高梅博彩 today is a reflection of his hard work and commitment,” said 美高梅博彩 总统 Dr. Jeremy McMillen. “The foundation and growth of this institution is a reflection of his commitment and passion for student success.”
