VGCC Criminal Justice Students Serve Community

Criminal Justice Technology students at Vance-Granville Community College are in training to serve the public, and on a recent Friday, they served their community by keeping it clean. Members of the VGCC Criminal Justice Club continued their tradition of adopting a stretch of Poplar Creek Road near the college’s main campus on Interstate 85 in Vance County. Wearing rubber gloves and orange vests that proclaimed “Adopt a Highway” or “Keep NC Clean & Green,” the students took the morning of Oct. 17 to pick up trash along their adopted road.

For more information on the Criminal Justice Technology program, contact program head Angela Gardner-Ragland at (252) 492-2061, ext. 3226. Gardner-Ragland and instructors Andrea Ferguson and Tim Robinson serve as advisors for the Criminal Justice Club.
