VC celebrates #CCMonth in April.
Victoria College is joining the nation in recognizing April as
Community College Month in celebration of the vital role community colleges
play in providing accessible, high-quality education.
Throughout April, VC will be highlighting student and alumni
stories on social media. VC alumni, students, employees and the community are
invited to join the celebration by sharing their favorite VC memories or the
achievements of a current student or graduate. Participants are encouraged to
tag @VictoriaCollege on Facebook and Instagram and to use #CCMonth and #VCStrong
to join the national conversation.
“We are inspired every day by our alumni who have achieved
upward economic mobility through their education and workforce training at
Victoria College,” said Dr. Jennifer Kent, VC President. “Their success stories
are a powerful testament to the impact of accessible, high-quality education
that leads to good jobs in the region.”
Community College Month, spearheaded by the Association of
Community College Trustees, aims to raise awareness of the economic and
academic benefits of attending a community college.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to interact throughout the community
with healthcare professionals, industrial technicians and public service
employees who got their start at VC and have since entered good careers,” said
Kent. “People who grow up in rural areas should have a path to stay in their
hometowns without sacrificing career opportunities, and that's exactly why we
have community colleges.”
The public can also nominate VC students and alumni for a
spotlight by emailing Marketing@VictoriaCollege.edu.
