THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF WAYNE COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAMPUS VOICE Wednesday, November 29,2006 Wayne Community College, Goldsboro, N.C. 50th Issue New program welcomes high school students to campus ByANDYRAJSKI Staff Writer There have been a lot of fresh, young faces on campus this semester. They hang out in the student union, do research in the library, and have even begun joining clubs and participating in sports across the campus. They do everything a college student does, except they are younger. Where did these students come from, why are they here, and are they here to stay?

The award is given to teachers who have been nominated anonymously by fellow faculty members who think they deserve to be recognized. Distinguished Chair recipients are awarded $5,000, which is given by anonymous donors. Mrs. Lomax says she plans to use the money to take a trip to England in July after her son gets married.
