Under a century-old oak tree on the steps of an antebellum mansion, friends and family of North Florida Community College gathered to honor their own May 3, 2005.
President Morris G. Steen, Jr. greeted nearly 300 guests to the historic Wardlaw-Smith-Goza Conference Center to recognize distinguished alumni of the college.
“Many of our alumni have distinguished themselves in their careers and in their communities,” said President Steen. “It is only appropriate that our college acknowledge and honor their achievements.”
