Nominated by faculty, staff, students or others in the Lincoln community, the wall was made to honor women who have made an impact on campus and the community. Placed in the center of the wall, Hinojos’ name and portrait stands out.

I met Victoria Sanders this school semester she is my professor for one of my counseling classes. The course is held Thursday nights 7pm-9pm and she is always full of energy. I have grown to admire Mrs. Sanders and the work she provides to the community. One can see how passionate she is about her work through the form she expressed herself and how she glows when she is teaching to her students. Mrs. Sanders is a great example of someone who I share the same interest. Although not having much experience she took on the challenge to open up her own business, in my opinion that is admirable.
