The Lee College chapter of the Walter Prescott Webb Historical Society has been named 2016 Chapter of the Year by the Texas State Historical Association (TSHA) for showing outstanding commitment and outreach within the community.
Named for a distinguished University of Texas historian and former TSHA director, the Webb Society works through college and university history departments to encourage students to discover, research, write and publish the history of Texas as they find it where they live. Chapter activities focus on local, community and regional history.
TSHA presents two Chapter of the Year Awards each year: one for a university, and one for a junior or community college. The 2016 award is the third time the Lee College Webb Society has taken top community college honors in the state.
