Virginia Jones stands out as an exceptional student, not only because she is a non-traditional student with a military affiliation or background, but also because of her remarkable achievement of completing two master’s degrees simultaneously—in Cross Cultural and Global Studies and Sociology. The Galveston native’s performance earned her the title of Outstanding Student of the Year from both the Sociology and Cross Cultural Global Studies programs at UHCL.
