VGCC Criminal Justice Students complete service projects
Criminal Justice Technology students at Vance-Granville Community College are in training to serve the public, and they recently got a head start with a pair of service projects that involve giving back to their communities.
First, students in the Criminal Justice Club continued their longstanding tradition of picking up trash along the whole length of the club’s adopted road, Poplar Creek Road, near the college’s Main Campus on Interstate 85 in Vance County.
In a separate project, club members collected, packaged and delivered bags full of candy as special Halloween treats for residents of assisted living facilities in Vance, Granville, Franklin and Warren counties. Supervising both initiatives was Capt. Tony Clark, a Criminal Justice instructor and an advisor for the Criminal Justice Club.
For more information on the VGCC Criminal Justice program , call Public Services department chair Steven Hargrove at (252) 738-3467.
