Sojourner Truth Awards

About the Sojourner Truth Awards

For the past thirty-three years, in honor of Sojourner Truth, Orange County Community College 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 Certificate of Recognition from SUNY Orange.

As we are encouraged by what the future holds, now more than ever we must reassure our youth to persist and continue on the path toward all of the opportunities that await them.
