On Friday, November 1st, Porterville College Student Services and the PC Veteran’s Resource Center celebrated our veterans with a luncheon and resource fair held inside the PC Student Center.

 

Interim Vice President of Student Services, Erin Wingfield served as the mistress of ceremonies for the event and delivered the welcome address to the group of veterans, their families, students, and community members in attendance.

 

After a beautiful rendition of our National Anthem was sung by PC alumnus and PUSD Choir Teacher Efrain Martinez, a keynote address was given to the crowd by California Assemblyman and PC alumnus Devon Mathis. Near the end of the ceremony, veteran and PC Foundation Board President Greg King was presented with an award for his service both to our country and to Porterville College.

 

Many organizations that provide services and programs were in attendance to provide support to the event as well. The event concluded with lunch for the attendees and a resource fair.
