College Accepting Award Nominations
- Share via
The Ventura College alumni association is accepting nominations for inductees into its Hall of Achievement, an honor extended to supporters of the college.
Nominees must have demonstrated a commitment to the college and its community.
Last year, longtime college employees Joanne Garcia, Bob Gowder and George McNeely, along with state Sen. Jack O’Connell (D-San Luis Obispo) were the first inducted into the Hall of Achievement. O’Connell is a graduate of Ventura College and a member of the state Legislature’s education committee.
A bronze plaque engraved with their names is on display in the Mary Guthrie Hall of Achievement, a campus center for tutoring.
Applications for nominees should be mailed to Barbara Hall, Alumni & Friends of Ventura College, 4667 Telegraph Road, 93003. The deadline for nominations is Jan. 31.
A dinner honoring the recipients will be held April 12 at the Poinsettia Pavilion in Ventura. Tickets, which cost $30, can be purchased by calling 654-6348.
