VGCC accepts Donation from Granville Industrial & Business Club

Members of the Granville Industrial and Business Club recently continued their tradition of supporting Vance-Granville Community College.

Granville Economic Development Commission executive director Jay Tilley presented $4,000 on behalf of the club to VGCC President Randy Parker for the college’s Endowment Fund and Scholarship Program at the Nov. 4 GIBC meeting, held at VGCC’s South Campus between Creedmoor and Butner. GIBC raises the funds for the scholarships at its annual golf tournament held in August.

Also during the Nov. 4 meeting, the program included remarks from Walter Martin, the new director for VGCC’s Global Logistics Technology program, and from VGCC Dean of Business and Applied Technologies Bobby Van Brunt.

Parker thanked GIBC members for their ongoing commitment to VGCC. Members of the club have already endowed seven scholarships at VGCC, all of which are awarded annually to deserving students. VGCC’s Endowment Fund awards more endowed scholarships than any program of its kind in the state.
