Virginia Western student Nick Flurnoy was the featured student speaker at the Virginia Foundation for Community College Education’s Legislative Reception on Jan. 21 at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond. Flurnoy joined speakers including Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin; Del. Luke Torian, chair of the House Appropriations Committee; and Chancellor David Doré of the Virginia Community College System.

JW Taylor, Virginia Western’s Great Expectations success coach, said Flurnoy originally spoke on a student panel at a statewide Great Expectations event in August. This led to his selection to address the Legislative Reception.
