CONCORDIA, Kan. — Students from Salina High School Central recently visited Cloud County Community College (CCCC), where they toured the cadaver lab and the nursing department.

CCCC was the first community college in Kansas and is one of only a few in the nation to have a cadaver lab and offer a human body dissection course and utilize the cadavers in the human anatomy course.

The first cadaver was used during the fall 1998 semester as part of the human anatomy course. More than 20 years later, students are still learning about the human body by studying the cadavers.
