Congratulations to our Middletown High School, Monhagen Middle School and Twin Towers Middle School scholars, who received Sojourner Truth awards on March 6 at Orange County Community College.

For the past 36 years, in honor of Sojourner Truth, OCCC has celebrated its youth by awarding them for their achievements.  We continue to recognize the accomplishments of these deserving students in grades 6-12 and encourage college attendance as an option for students from groups traditionally under-represented in the college population.

Those students nominated by their schools will receive a medal and a Certificate of Recognition from SUNY Orange.
