In July 2020, Virginia's State Board for Community Colleges launched an initiative to examine college and facility names in the wake of nationwide protests for racial equality and justice. Interim President Dr. Gregory DeCinque in response established Virginia Peninsula's College Building & Naming Task Force to address this sensitive issue.
Historical research, an integral part of the task force's discussion surrounding the renaming of Virginia Peninsula Community College and its facilities, was conducted. View video containing a presentation on that research here:
