It’s our birthday today! 🥳🎂🎈
On September 4, 1969, the NC General Assembly founded what was then known as Vance County Technical Institute. By 1972, we'd grown enough that Vance and Granville counties partnered to construct a new campus. Known today as our Main Campus, that location opened in August 1976, just six weeks after the State Legislature officially granted us community college status—we adopted the name Vance-Granville Community College, and the rest is history! 🎓✨💚
