A big night is coming up for Union County College, the 33rd Annual Scholarship Gala is set for October 30th, and this year’s honorees include a name many in New Jersey know well: Victor M. Richel, longtime Chairman of the UCNJ Board of Trustees.

He’ll be receiving the 2025 Fiat Lux Award in recognition of his decades of leadership and unwavering support for students across Union County.
