Victoria College Celebrates Community College Month: Share Your VC Success Stories

Victoria College is observing Community College Month in April, acknowledging the significant contribution of community colleges in offering accessible, quality education. The college plans to feature student and alumni stories on social media throughout the month. All members of the VC community, including alumni, students, employees, and the wider public, are encouraged to share their memorable VC experiences or notable achievements of a current student or graduate.

Participants are advised to tag @VictoriaCollege on Facebook and Instagram and use #CCMonth and #VCStrong to participate in the national discussion. VC President, Dr. Jennifer Kent, shared her admiration for alumni who have improved their economic status through education and training at Victoria College. She noted that their success stories demonstrate the value of accessible, quality education.

Community College Month, organized by the Association of Community College Trustees, seeks to increase awareness of the economic and academic advantages of attending a community college. Dr. Kent mentioned the fulfilling experience of engaging with healthcare professionals, industrial technicians, and public service employees who began their careers at VC.

Dr. Kent further highlighted the role of community colleges in offering career opportunities for individuals in rural areas, enabling them to remain in their hometowns without compromising on career growth.

The public can also nominate VC students and alumni for a spotlight by emailing Marketing@VictoriaCollege.edu. This initiative is part of the college's commitment to recognizing the achievements of its students and graduates during Community College Month.
