Dear VC Family and Friends,

Since its founding in 1925, Victoria College has been a catalyst of educational opportunity and community service across its seven-county region. With steadfast dedication to excellence, responsiveness to community needs, and commitment to affordability, Victoria College has forged a legacy of transforming lives and impacting generations. We owe this legacy to the visionary leaders and community members whose foresight and determination have fueled our success.

As we approach our centennial milestone, we reflect with gratitude on the countless individuals who have contributed to Victoria College’s journey. From the pioneering vision of Frank H. Crain Sr. to the unwavering support of thousands of community members, each has played a vital role in shaping our institution into the treasure that it is today.

Looking ahead to our next chapter, we are excited about the progress of Victoria College’s Master Plan, a bold vision for the future that includes five major projects: the Student Success Center, Museum of the Coastal Bend, Allied Health Building, Virginia Callan Welder Performance Annex, and William Wood Building. These developments represent our ongoing commitment to providing state-of-the-art facilities and resources that empower our students and serve the needs of our community.

We invite you to consider joining us in creating your own legacy through naming opportunities within these projects. Your support will not only leave a lasting imprint on Victoria College but will also contribute to the continued success and growth of our institution.

As we embark on our second century of service, we extend our deepest gratitude to all who have supported us along the way. Together, we have transformed lives and impacted generations, and we are immensely grateful for your belief in and support of our mission. Here’s to the next 100 years of excellence, innovation, and community service.

Thank you for being part of the Victoria College family.

Student Success Center

While Victoria College’s existing facilities provide spaces for student resources, they are not centrally located on campus, nor are they accessible in one building. The Student Success Center will be all-inclusive, combining functions such as a learning commons area, library resources, learning services, student services, and student life, along with a bookstore, food services, and other student support into a single, centralized facility.
