HISTORY OF VIRGINIA HIGHLANDS COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Virginia Highlands Community College was established on November 30, 1967, by action of the State Board for Community Colleges, and assigned a service region of Washington County, the western portion of Smyth County, and the City of Bristol, Virginia. Today it is one of 23 community colleges within the Virginia Community College System.

The College moved to its permanent 100-acre campus during the summer of 1970 and, in response to the community’s needs, expanded its offerings to include both occupational-technical programs and baccalaureate-transfer programs.

During its five decades of operation, Virginia Highlands Community College has become a dynamic leader in Southwest Virginia with a primary goal of providing a comprehensive and quality education for residents throughout its service region. The College served about 3,000 full- and part-time students this year. The rolling hills of the campus have been developed to include nine modern buildings, athletic and recreational facilities, and substantial parking.

Programs and services also have changed to meet the needs of the local community. For example, the Division of Workforce Development and Continuing Education was created in 1996 to better prepare the local workforce. The Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center–a separate organization located on the VHCC campus–opened in 1998 to bring baccalaureate and graduate programs to the area, and the Arts Array program was expanded into a community-wide cultural program. In 2004 we welcomed our campus neighbor, the Stone Mill Business and Technology Park, and during 2006 we completed construction of a greenhouse to support the Horticulture program.

In addition, the dual enrollment program offered by the College is allowing students to earn college credit while still in high school; the service learning initiative is teaching VHCC students the value of volunteerism; and the Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission is providing tuition assistance for a variety of students and their families.

State-of-the-art technology has made it possible to deliver distance education courses and has provided the entire College community with modern, up-to-date computer facilities. Through Federal TRIO programs–Student Support Services (EXCEL) and Upward Bound– high school and college students are receiving the academic help and encouragement they need to complete high school and succeed in college.

Today, we proudly honor the VHCC Class of 2020 by celebrating this major milestone with graduating students, their family members and friends.

ACADEMIC COSTUMES

The wearing of academic regalia dates from the 12th century and has been in use in the United States since Colonial days. An American Intercollegiate Code adopted in 1984 established certain standard styles in faculty regalia; and the gowns, caps, and hoods conform in every detail to this Code.

Academic hoods, like the gowns, are designed to indicate academic rank. They are the same material as the gown but differ in size and shape for the various degrees. The inside trim of the hood is of velvet or velveteen, varying in width for the different degrees. The colors inside the hood indicate the school from which the degree was granted, while the color of the trim indicates the subject in which the degree was earned.

STOLES

Members of the Alpha Gamma Rho Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa national community/junior college honor society are wearing blue and gold stoles that designate their membership in the society. Membership in Phi Theta Kappa is conferred on those students who have established academic excellence as judged by the College faculty.

Members of the Virginia Highlands Community College Student Government Association are wearing white stoles that designate they currently hold office in the association. Students wearing white are studentelected representatives of Virginia Highlands Community College and serve as a link between student body, administration, faculty and staff. During their terms, they work to improve student quality of life by identifying and addressing issues, advocating for the interests of the student body at the administrative level and creating, supporting and running campus-wide events and student service projects.

CORDS

Cords are worn by graduates in recognition of their special accomplishments in the following areas:

Gold: Honors

Red, White & Blue: Active Duty/Veterans of the U.S.. Military

Light Blue: Great Expectations Program

Medallions: Students wearing medallions have been recognized as Governor’s Scholars

Students with honors are computed from the cumulative grade point average of Fall Semester 2019.

The commencement program is not an official graduation registry. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy in the program, printing deadlines may result in the omission of names of persons who have met graduation requirements andlikewisetheinclusionofnamesofpersonsnotcompleting graduation requirements as expected. Therefore, the commencement program should not be used to determine a student’s academic or degree status. VHCC’s official registry for the conferral of degrees is the student’s permanent academic record, which is maintained by the Office of Admissions and Records.

Kenna Call 2020 Graduation Speaker

Kenna Call, of Glade Spring, Virginia, graduated from Holston High School in 2017 and is graduating with an Associate of Arts & Sciences degree with a specialization in art. Call served as the public affairs officer of the VHCC Student Government Association during the 2019-2020 academic year. In addition to completing her studies at VHCC, Call recently began her professional career as a marketing specialist at the College. Her interests include art, photography, graphic design, and music.

Call encourages her fellow students, graduates, and members of the community to seize every opportunity to serve and participate in society.

“Get involved in everything in life! Don't stand on the sidelines. Get in the heart of what's happening in your family, your job, your school, and your community. You're an important part of it all. You might not know it yet -- but it’s the truth.”

Call plans to continue her career at VHCC while pursuing a bachelor’s degree in social media management via Liberty University Online.

Chad Morrison 2020 Graduation Speaker

Chad Morrison’s path to success at VHCC began in 1994 when he enrolled in the electrical technology program. He ultimately decided to return to working for his family’s carpentry business, but after marriage, raising children, and experiencing a workplace accident that left his career uncertain, he resolved to complete his degree. Morrison completed an Associate of Applied Science in Electrical Technology with a specialization in mechatronics in 2020.

Morrison emphasizes the importance of faith, family, and mentorship. His message to fellow graduates calls them to understand and exemplify leadership.

“Every team needs a good leader. A great leader is one who understands and demonstrates leading by example. A great leader admits his or her mistakes and is willing to listen. A great leader is always ready to learn something new and to do their best to make informed decisions. The lessons you can learn from such a leader are priceless. These lessons can be integrated into every part of your life.”

Morrison hopes to pursue further education and training in the field of renewable energy and is interested in teaching in the future.

VIRGINIA HIGHLANDS PRIDE

Written by Schéry and David Collins

Mountains high, valleys wide, rivers running through; Highlands pride, we shall strive to learn and live what’s true.

On this hill wolves ran free, strong of heart and mind; Like the wolves it’s our decree—a new world we will find.

Our bounteous land, traditions rich, Virginia Highlands strives To open doors, fulfill dreams, providing better lives.

On this night, in this place, we stand to sing this song.

A new class joins a growing throng—over ten thousand strong.

We’re justly proud of what we’ve earned and learned on our way.

Through sacrifice and working hard we’ve earned the right to say—

“Our bounteous land, traditions rich, Virginia Highlands strives To open doors, fulfill dreams, providing better lives.”

As graduates of Virginia Highlands Community College, we want you to stay involved and connected! And, there’s no better way than by joining the VHCC Alumni Association. You’ll enjoy the periodic updates, special event invitations, and opportunities to give back. Join by visiting www.vhcc.edu/StayConnected.
