Students must be nominated by a career technical education faculty or staff member, 16 finalists are asked to submit an essay discussing their interest in nontraditional occupations, and 8 award winners are selected based on their essay.

Mohamed Elkhidir, an MCC nursing student, nominated by Associate Professor Anne Vogtle, MC, RNC, was selected as one of this year's 8 award winners from a pool of almost 40 strong nominations.

A warm congratulations to Mohamed, and thank to Associate Professor Vogtle for your acknowledgment of student success. The Vanguard Award Ceremony will be held in Albany in April 2019.
