Victoria College recognized 20 students during the 18th annual National Adult Education Honor Society Induction Ceremony on Oct. 15 at VC’s Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts.
Nominated by an instructor or staff member and chosen by a selection committee, the students were rewarded for their consistent attendance, cooperative attitude and good work ethic.
