1 2010-2011 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY Randolph Community College AND RCC Foundation2 F. Mac Sherrill Chairman Fred E. Meredith Vice Chairman James M. Campbell Jr. Robert B. Davis John M. Freeze James P. Hill Jr. Lillian B. Jordan Elbert J. Lassiter Curt J. Lorimer Alan S. Luria Cynthia G. Schroder R. Andrews Sykes Board of Trustees (as of July 1, 2011) Celebrating 50 Years Of Education 1962-2012 RANDOLPH COMMUNITY COLLEGE In the spring of 1957, when local business, educational, industrial and civic leaders, including Charles W. McCrary Sr., made a bid to the N.C. Legislature for funds to locate a vocational-technical school in Randolph County, they could not have imagined just how much of an impact that school would have on Randolph County citizens for years to come. On Sept. 4, 1962, The Randolph Industrial Education Center opened its doors for classes with an enrollment of 75 full-time students, eight faculty members, and four staff members. Curriculum programs offered were Automotive Mechanics, Drafting, Machine Shop, and Welding. Three name changes, dozens of additional programs, and thousands of graduates later, Randolph Community College prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2012. Charles W. McCrary Sr. Merton H. Branson, first president 3 Dr. Robert S. Shackleford Jr. President, Randolph Community College When Randolph Community College first opened its doors in 1962, it was a different world: • That was the year that astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth. • People listened on the radio to Bob Dylan singing “Blowin’ in the Wind,” heard Paul Anka sing “Go Away Little Girl,” and enjoyed the Four Seasons’ rendition of “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” • On television, we were all absorbed in the antics of Jed Clampett and his family on The Beverly Hillbillies, charmed by a wise and caring doctor named Ben Casey, and followed the adventures of Tod Stiles and Buz Murdoch as they traveled the country on Route 66 in their Corvette convertible. • On a more serious note, the world held its breath as the Cuban Missile Crisis took us to the very brink of a nuclear holocaust before President Kennedy finally persuaded the Russians to back down and remove their missiles from Cuba. From those days 50 years ago until this very day, untold thousands of students have come to Randolph Community College with a dream and have found a faculty and staf who are fully committed to helping them fulfill those dreams. With the help of our faithful community partners and friends who support us, we are able to open doors to a future that many of our students didn’t even know was possible for them. It was Mark Twain who said: “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So, throw of the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Welcome from the President Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” That’s what RCC has been doing faithfully for 50 years—helping people sail, explore, dream, and discover. As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary in 2012, we also reach forward passionately to the next 50 years of eager students, an enriched community, a well-trained workforce, and the daily joy of providing opportunities and changing the lives of those who come to us with dreams in their hearts! Mission: To provide educational and training opportunities that make a positive change in the lives of students and the community. Dr. Bob Shackleford’s History with RCC Program Head for Early Childhood Education (1998-1999) Chair of Human Services Dept. (1999) Dean of Student Services (2000-2003) President (2007-present) 4 Only 8% of the College’s revenue comes from tuition and fees. For the Record 5 James W. Kelley Named VP for Student Services James William “J.W.” Kelley joined Randolph Community College in January 2011 as vice president for student services. In this position, he sets the direction for Student Services programs and activities that enhance opportunities for students to succeed. Kelley previously worked for Fayetteville Technical Community College as division chair for the Humanities and Social Sciences Division. He held a number of different administrative and leadership positions in student services through the years, including director of admissions at a college several times the size of RCC. Kelley earned a B.A. from Johnson Bible College in Knoxville, Tenn., an M.A. in Counseling from Cincinnati Bible University in Ohio, and an Ed.D. in Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. Distinguished Service Award Goes to Lenton Slack Lenton Slack, retired RCC Interior Design instructor and renowned local artist, (shown above center with Jim Campbell and Dr. Robert Shackleford), was the recipient of the Randolph Community College Board of Trustees 2010 Distinguished Service Award. Slack joined the college in 1971 as an instructor and for the next 28 years he devoted his life to building and developing the Interior Design program. His passion for Interior Design made RCC’s program one of the top programs in the state. His passion for Interior Design made RCC’s Interior Design program one of the top programs in the state. Slack was instrumental in developing the annual Interior Design Showcase, a staple of the program from the first model room designed at the Southern Living Show in 1972 until Slack retired on December 31, 1999. Senator Kay Hagan, Representative Howard Coble Visit RCC U.S. Senator Kay R. Hagan and U.S. Representative Howard Coble both visited RCC’s Asheboro Campus in 2010. Sen. Hagan came to RCC in August and Congressman Coble in September; both toured the Richard Petty Education Center and the old Klaussner plant that will become RCC’s Continuing Education and Industrial Center once renovations are complete. Sen. Hagan spoke briefly to automotive and auto body students and instructors before she was briefed on plans for the CEIC. Sen. Hagan came to RCC a second time in September when she hosted a grants and contracting workshop here for municipal leaders, nonprofits, and business owners to gather information from federal, state, and philanthropic funding agencies about potential resources. 6 61% of the College’s expenditures go to instruction or student services/financial aid. 7 Bryson Completes State Leadership Institute RCC student Shane Bryson of Thomasville (left) graduated in March 2011 from the North Carolina Community College System Student Leadership Institute, a yearlong leadership development program. “The Student Leadership Institute was an experience I would not trade for anything,” said Bryson. “Through the various workshops and rigorous projects, I have gained valuable tools that will help me in my future endeavors and have helped me become an all-around better person. The best part of the SLI experience has been the lifelong friendships I have built with students all around the state in other community colleges going through the same training. Together I am sure we are fully prepared to be future leaders in our state because of the Student Leadership Institute.” Bryson has been president of the RCC Student Government Association for two years. He also graduated from RCC’s 2010-2011 Student Leadership Academy and was a Foundation Ambassador. Three RCC Students Received Gene Haas Scholarships Three first-year Machining Technology students at RCC were awarded $1,000 each from the Gene Haas Machining Technology Scholarship through the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) in spring 2011. This is the first year that RCC students have applied and received this scholarship. Charles “Chuck” Lathe of Franklinville, Trevor Kindley of Trinity, and Charles Ridley of Asheboro received the scholarship monies to apply toward their educational expenses. Jones Attends iSchool Summer Institute at University of Pittsburgh Malachi Jones (above), a second-year RCC Business Administration student and a participant in RCC’s Inner Strength 3MP (minority male mentoring program), was selected to participate in the University of Pittsburgh’s iSchool Inclusion Institute (i3) in June 2011. Jones is one of only 20 students admitted each year to this nationally recognized, competitive program and was the only community college student selected. The four-week residential summer institute is designed for undergraduate students from accredited colleges and universities who have an interest in graduate school and the information sciences. “My experience at the iSchool Inclusion Institute would be described as an unforgettable journey,” said Jones. “From the start of day one, my cohorts and I started communicating with each other and getting to know the faculty and staff over the program… We began compiling ideas for our team research project to be presented in the summer of 2012. My group decided to take up the digital divide between K-5 grade schools. Our goal is not to target the whole nation, but to pinpoint a specific area where these types of children are not receiving access to technology, and we hope to solve this solution by implementing new methods of teaching technology in the classroom and abroad.” Below: Machining Technology, 19648 RCC Grad Wins Prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship Amarinh Kongmanivong of Jamestown (below), a 2011 Randolph Community College Interior Design graduate, was one of 60 community college students nationwide recently awarded a Jack Kent Cooke Foundation 2011 Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship to pursue her bachelor’s degree. The Foundation provides each student with a scholarship valued at up to $30,000 per year for up to three years. Kongmanivong was born in Laos and fled with her family to a refugee camp in Thailand before coming to the United States. At RCC, Kongmanivong was a member of Phi Theta Kappa honor society, won the Curriculum Award in 2011, and was a recipient of the Jena and Stephen B. Hall Scholarship from WithIt (Women in the Home Industry Today) in 2010. In addition, she was awarded a Merit Scholarship from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her goal is to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus on Designed Objects. First Cosmetology Graduates Randolph Community College’s first Cosmetology graduates completed the program and entered the workforce this year. Eight students completed their Associate in Applied Science degrees, one completed a diploma, and nine completed a certificate. 100% pass rate on state boards The students also have a 100% pass rate on the state board exam given by the National- Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology for North Carolina. After 1,200 hours of instruction, if a student passes the exam with a score of 70 or higher, he/she is licensed at an apprentice level, but then must work under a licensed cosmetologist for six months. After 1,500 hours of instruction, if a student passes the exam with 75% or higher, he/she becomes a full licensed cosmetologist. Cultural Arts Series Continues The Cultural Arts Committee presented a successful Cultural Arts Series during the 2010- 2011 school year, kicking off with an Art in the Park event in September on the Asheboro Campus. The show featured the works of area artisans and crafters, including painter Lenton Slack, potter Adam Wiley, and fine art photographer Ashley Fetner. Composer/songwriter Laurelyn Dossett performed a concert in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center auditorium in October. A Holiday Concert featuring the Handbell Choir from Marlboro Friends Meeting in Sophia preceded a Tree Lighting Ceremony in December. In February 2011, Robert T. Barnes, an instructor of history at Central Carolina Community College, lectured on the history and importance of Black History Month. The series concluded with the play “Hansel and Gretel” by the popular troupe from UNCG’s North Carolina Theatre for Young People. First cosmetology graduating class. 9 In 1962, an average hair cut was .50¢ 10 GOOD TO GREAT 11 RCC Meets Exceptional Standards Third Year Running Randolph Community College was one of only two community colleges in North Carolina that achieved “Exceptional Institutional Performance (EIP)” standards for the third consecutive year, according to the Critical Success Factors report released in June. Randolph was one of 12 community colleges in North Carolina that made “Exceptional” status this year on the annual accountability measures for North Carolina’s 58 community colleges. In addition to meeting or exceeding all eight system standards, these schools met additional performance goals. Those goals were achieving the college performance rates of students who began in, rather than transferred into, the UNC System and attaining at least a 70 percent passing rate for students who sit for a licensure or certification exam for the first time. The accountability measures are based on 2009- 2010 academic year data. It has been a year of excellence. “It has been a year of excellence,” said RCC President Robert S. Shackleford Jr., noting that RCC achieved these standards even while enduring three years of budget cuts. “We are one of the highest performing colleges in the state…I am very proud of our faculty and staff.” SACS Reaccreditation Randolph Community College’s accreditation was reaffirmed by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 2011. RCC’s next reaffirmation will take place in 2020. Rhonda Winters Receives Athena Award The Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce honored Rhonda Sullivan Winters (below) as the recipient of its ATHENA Award during its 85th annual meeting in January 2011. The ATHENA Award recognizes businesswomen who have made significant contributions to their profession and community. Winters joined RCC in November 1988 as assistant director for community services. She became assistant director of extension in 1990 and director of extension for the Archdale Center in July 1991. In 2007, she was promoted to dean of the Archdale Center. Winters has been a volunteer for the Archdale/Trinity Chamber of Commerce for over 10 years. She is a graduate of the Archdale/ Trinity Chamber’s Leadership program, and was awarded the A/T Chamber “Member of the Year” award in 2005 for her many years of service and commitment to that organization and the community. RCC students celebrate the College’s accomplishments. 12 Excellence in Teaching Award and Staff of the Year Award Mathematics coordinator and instructor Sue Shelton was the recipient of the 2010 Excellence in Teaching Award at RCC; and Lisa Hughes, assistant director of marketing and design, was RCC’s Staff Person of the Year. ...huge difference in the lives... “Sue makes a huge difference in the lives of many of the students fortunate enough to enroll in one of her classes,” reads one letter of support from Shelton��s nomination. But a student evaluation says it best: “If all instructors were like Mrs. Shelton, this would be the best college in N.C. She makes sure everyone understands the material…she treats all students equal and is the picture perfect teacher.” A graduate of RCC’s own Commercial Graphics program, Lisa Hughes is an excellent and respected graphic designer. But her skills go far beyond design. “Lisa works well above and beyond the call of duty. She never wants an opportunity missed because the marketing materials weren’t provided,” reads one letter of recommendation. Her other contributions include serving as a marketing expert for community agencies, supervising graphics interns, working with RCC’s alumni group, volunteering as an advisor for RCC’s Campus Crusaders club, and delivering “radical hospitality” every day. ...delivering “radical hospitality”... Male Mentoring Program RCC established the Inner Strength Male Minority Mentoring program in September 2010 after receiving a five-year grant ($25,000 a year) from the North Carolina Community College System. The goal of the program is to increase graduation and retention rates among minority males. Arnold Gaines Jr., student retention specialist (shown below), administers the program, which has been very successful in its first year. Activities this year have included visits to four-year colleges and universities such as North Carolina A&T University, Johnson C. Smith University, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, UNC-Charlotte, and Winston-Salem State University. The students also attended a diversity leadership conference at Elon University and a male mentoring leadership conference at Edgecombe Community College. On campus, members participated in numerous faculty/staff-led workshops and heard guest speakers on the group’s three goals: academic enhancement, character and leadership development, and career development. In addition, they participated in the Asheboro Christmas Parade and conducted a Fox 8 Gifts for Kids campaign in December. The group was awarded an extra $5,000 from NCCCS based on recruitment (39 members in the first year) and was the 4th-ranked program in the state. Left to right: Sue Shelton and Lisa Hughes. 13 A record number of students participated in RCC’s 2011 Curriculum Graduation. Shown right, J.W. “Willie” Plummer, Board of Trustee chair, at the 1981 graduation ceremony. 14 The Student Services Center was under construction in 1979. The new Welcome Center was added in 2011. 15 Welcome Center Ribbon Cutting RCC administration, faculty, and staff celebrated the official opening of the Welcome Center on May 24 with a ribbon cutting attended by approximately 150 people. The facility is actually a 1,700-square-foot addition to the front of the Student Services Center. It includes a large welcome desk and waiting area, and two small offices, one of which contains computers dedicated to students who need to fill out admissions applications or financial aid forms. This adds much-needed space and creates an opportunity for much-improved customer service for our students. “It’s hard to imagine how 1,700 square feet of construction can change the appearance of a campus,” said RCC President Robert Shackleford. “This adds much-needed space and creates an opportunity for much-improved customer service for our students.” The facade, which includes stucco, stone, and glass, is being replicated throughout the campus as updates are made to modernize the look of the buildings originally built in the 1960s and 1970s. The Welcome Center operates similar to a triage center in a hospital or doctor’s office. It is the first place that visitors are directed. The addition, which cost just under $493,000, was paid for from capital funds provided by the Randolph County Commission. Master’s Program Offered at RCC When Randolph Community College President Robert Shackleford announced the University Center of Randolph County in 2008, which offered bachelor’s degrees locally for the first time, it was a historic occasion. RCC made history a second time in spring 2011 when it again partnered with Pfeiffer University to offer the first master’s degree in Randolph County. The Master of Education program through Pfeiffer is offered in a hybrid format, a mix of in-class, in-person meetings and online learning opportunities. Classes meet one night a week, and students can finish in six semesters (two years). It is designed for teachers with an elementary license looking to enrich their content knowledge and refine their ability to design and deliver effective instruction. Master of Education program through Pfeiffer... at RCC The program is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and approved by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. Above, left to right: Harold Holmes, Robert Carmac, Ed Kluttz, Robert Shackleford, and Jim Campbell. A reception (right) followed the ceremony. Pfeiffer University is a member of the University Center of Randolph County.16 100% Pass Rates Randolph Community College’s Health Sciences and Public Service Division reported a 100% board exam pass rate for Associate Degree Nursing students, a 100% board exam pass rate for Radiography students, a 100% board exam pass rate for Certified Nursing Assistant students, and a 100% board exam pass rate for Cosmetology students during the 2010-2011 academic year. “How do I put into perspective what this last year has been like?” said RCC President Robert Shackleford, of the accomplishment. “We had the toughest budget year in the history of the College and the community college system with a nearly 30% enrollment increase. ...We are a very good college…and we’re closing in on great.” Above, recent ADN students’ uniforms differ dramatically from these in the early years of the program (right).17 Instructors Make the Difference RCC President Robert Shackleford travels frequently around the state and one question he’s asked frequently is how RCC is succeeding during these difficult budget times. “They ask ‘What are you all doing?’ and I answer ‘It’s our people.’ Most of the people here drive up every morning on a mission. That mission is to help students succeed.” That mission is to help students succeed. RCC instructors demonstrated that drive to help students be successful in many ways during this past year. For example, Spanish instructor Mark Dowell (top left) engaged students in his Spanish class with a hands-on, write-to-learn activity that required students to write in Spanish the concept of demonstrative adjectives—near, somewhat far, and very far away. The write-to-learn activity provided repetition of Spanish vocabulary students already knew and a scaffolding method for writing-to-learn in Spanish as well as the fundamentals of literacy instruction in Spanish: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Instructor Christine Myers (left) makes mathematics fun by employing different teaching techniques for different learning styles. A “bungee egg jumping” exercise in her class allowed students to explore linear functions through modeling. After “jumping” their eggs with different amounts of bungee cord (rubber bands), the students determine a linear equation that models the behavior they observed. Spanish instructor Delores de Haro (below) likes to schedule hands-on demonstrations, like preparing a traditional food plate including frijoles, queso, lechuga, tomate, and crema, to make the students curious about learning a second language. 3,795 Curriculum (credit) students enrolled in 2010-2011.18 Student Government Association Student LEADERSHIP CoED Intramurals FALL & SPRING FesT PHI THETA KAPPA CAMPUS CRUSADERS G.R.I.T.S.

The award was established in 2010 by the North Carolina Association of Community College Presidents to honor the late Dr. Dallas Herring, one of the state’s earliest advocates of community colleges. Lopez graduated from the Associate in Arts (College Transfer) program at RCC in 2009. At RCC, she was a member of Phi Theta Kappa and an Ambassador. She transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and finished her bachelor’s degree there in spring 2011. Lopez was granted early admission to three Schools of Dentistry and has enrolled at the UNC School of Dentistry. Attending RCC was the best decision I could have ever made regarding my college career. “Attending RCC was the best decision I could have ever made regarding my college career,” said Lopez. “At RCC, I was used to working harder than I did in high school, so I had more discipline than most students who come (to UNC) straight from high school.” Lopez’s long-term goal is to work at a public dental clinic that offers care to low-income communities in North Carolina. Academic Excellence David L. Jordan of Asheboro was RCC’s Academic Excellence Award recipient and represented the school at the North Carolina Community College System 2011 Excellence Event in April in Raleigh. At the time, Jordan was a student in the Electrical/Electronics Technology program at RCC. He graduated on May 11 with an associate degree, diploma and certificate in the program. After enduring a total of five layoffs between him and his wife, Jordan enrolled at RCC... “David is the kind of student who exhibits leadership and has a great aptitude for his chosen field,” said RCC Electrical/Electronics instructor Tom Jones. “He takes the time for study that is necessary and spends a lot of extra time at school for other leadership activities. I know he is quite deserving.” Jordan said he had been employed at Burlington Industries for 22 years and planned on retiring there when the plant shut down in September of 2001. After enduring a total of five layoffs between him and his wife, Jordan enrolled at RCC at age 48. Jordan made the President’s List with a 4.0 GPA, was inducted into Phi Theta Kappa honor society, and graduated from RCC’s Student Leadership Academy while enrolled in school here. Scott Ralls, Brenda Lopez, Robert Shackleford. Scott Ralls, David Jordan, Hilda Pinnix-Ragland. 20 Leadership Through Service Seventeen students graduated from RCC’s fourth annual Student Leadership Academy on March 29. One part of the Academy is a Student Leadership Project (above and right), in which the students are charged with finding a need in the community and meeting that need. One student team staged an event called “Care to Share” at which they simulated homelessness by sleeping outside the Foundation Conference Center overnight. They collected 68 bags of food, 37 sleeping bags, and 24 trash bags of clothing for the needy. The second group completed three projects: a visit to Carillon Assisted Living to provide a night of fun, food, and activities for the residents; an outdoor cleanup and planting project at Hospice of Randolph County; and a project to aid Habitat for Humanity. The third student team found a project close to their hearts. When the home of one of the students in the group partially burned because of a chimney fire, the students devoted three Saturdays to help clean up and rebuild the burned rooms. CLUB AWARDS Student Government Association (SGA) SGA President Shane Bryson of Thomasville was awarded the Daryl Mitchell Award for Outstanding Students for the Central Division at the spring meeting of the North Carolina Comprehensive Community College Student Government Association (N4CSGA). To be selected, Bryson had to submit an essay and be interviewed by a committee. Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) RCC’s Beta Theta Rho chapter of Phi Theta Kappa brought home many awards from the 2011 Carolinas Regional Convention. In addition to numerous chapter awards, individual awards included the following: Shawn Vuncannon, Beta Theta Rho president, won an Honorable Mention in the Distinguished Chapter Member category. Vuncannon and members Charleen Holt and Barbara Robinson were all named to the Hall of Honor for 2011 and received individual trophies. Waymon Martin, business administration instructor, and Clark Adams, English instructor, both advisors for RCC’s group, were presented Carolinas Region Horizon Awards. Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) Two members of the RCC chapter of Phi Beta Lambda won statewide awards during the group’s State Leadership Conference in Charlotte in April. Laura Davis of Asheboro, chapter president, won 1st place in the state for retail management, and Andrew Delk of Denton won 3rd place under the business law topic and 4th place for macroeconomics. Delk and Davis (below) represented North Carolina in their topic areas at the National Phi Beta Lambda convention in Orlando, Fla., in June.21 One of the earliest clubs at RCC was the Circle “K” club, which began in 1976. 22 RCC Students Collaborate with N.C. Zoo RCC’s Advertising & Graphic Design students worked on a project with the N.C. Zoo to create a costume for the Eastern Hellbender salamander to promote education about this species, which is listed as a Species of Concern. The students debuted the costume at the New River Celebration Day at New River State Park in Laurel Springs, N.C., on Aug. 28, 2010. The students worked with John Groves, N.C. Zoo curator of reptiles and amphibians, who studies the Hellbender, and Jayne Owen Parker, director of conservation education for the N.C. Zoological Society. They designed and created every inch of the costume (above, below and right), from researching the species, to designing the “skin,” to the mechanics of making the mouth move so the Hellbender can talk to zoo visitors. The students even made a T-shirt for the costumed character, nicknamed “Snotty.” The T-shirt reads, “I rock for snot otters” on the front. On the back is printed the following: “I am your friend. I help clean mountain streams. I am not poisonous. Help save me.” In addition, the students created a full-fledged public awareness campaign for the Hellbender. The project was featured in a front-page Wall Street Journal article in March. Interior Design Students Complete Local Projects Randolph County Emergency Services has a detailed plan for expansion of its 9-1-1 Call Center and a local couple and their builder obtained some great ideas for the renovation of an old family home thanks to the efforts of RCC’s Interior Design students in the first year of a student/community project called the Randolph County Design Initiative. ���The students had the chance to work with a live client and gain real world experience,” said Holly Barker, program head and instructor. The commercial and residential projects were completed during the fall semester. “We were blown away. They exceeded our expectations,” said Justine Buxton, technology officer for Randolph County Emergency Services, about the results. The organization will incorporate many of the students’ ideas when they move forward with the project in the next fiscal year. We were blown away. They exceeded our expectations. In the residential project, the students were asked to combine two households of furnishings and styles into one. The students created nine different designs and presented them to the contractor and client, providing the client with a project book that showed space plans, materials, furniture placement, elevations, budgetary considerations, and even where to purchase items. 23 The Hellbender, otherwise known as the Snot Otter, is listed as a Species of Concern. 24 The Faculty Association collected over 200 coats for the “Give A Kid A Coat” project. Creating Opportunities. Changing Lives... 25 Student Activities RCC’s student organizations are incredibly active with fun events like fall and spring flings, intramural sports, and community service projects. We can’t list them all, but here are just a few: Faculty Association The Faculty Association at RCC conducted a Give a Kid a Coat campaign drive on the Asheboro Campus in December 2010. The faculty members collected 241 gently used or new coats to donate to the campaign drive held annually by A Cleaner World, Fox8/WGHP, 107.5KZL, and The Salvation Army. I told my husband that someone else could wear it. Dahlia Oldham, an RCC student who helped with the campaign, collected over 70 coats from family and friends. “I never gave (our coats) away before,” said Oldham of her family’s coats, which numbered about 20. She even gave up one of her own favorite coats. “I told my husband that someone else could wear it,” she said. “My heart is really full.” My heart is really full. RCC faculty members Carra Miskovich and Maria LeBaron delivered the coats to A Cleaner World on December 2. • Common Threads, a lunchtime diversity group, met weekly during the 2010-2011 school year. • Campus Crusaders events included a Welcome Back cookout, a food drive, and volunteering at Samaritin’s Purse. • Snack Attacks throughout the year treated students to popcorn, doughnuts and coffee. • Intramural basketball games were held throughout September and October. • SGA President Shane Bryson dressed up like Uncle Sam and Vice President Daniel Smith dressed up like Lady Liberty to celebrate Constitution Day. • SGA hosted Trick or Trunk for the kids on Oct. 28. • Phi Beta Lambda held doughnut/coffee fundraisers in November and February/March. They also collected new and gently-used stuffed animals for S.A.F.E. (Stuffed Animals For Emergencies). In addition, the group sold bears wearing college logo hoodies. • The SGA hosted two blood drives with the American Red Cross during the school year. • Phi Theta Kappa held two induction ceremonies, one in November and one in April. • The Inner Strength Male Minority Mentoring group conducted a toy drive for “Fox 8 Gifts of Kids” in November. • SGA sponsored a Student Holiday Party on Dec. 8 with music by the group, Analogue Season. The party was conducted in conjunction with a canned food drive. • The SGA hosted its first ever RCC Superbowl for students, faculty, and staff, playing Madden 2011 football on a PS3 in the Student Services lounge. A tournament on NCAA Basketball 2010 on the Xbox 360 was held in March. • Co-ed volleyball and dodgeball were added to the intramural sports schedule, with games held in March and April. • A Club Day was held at the end of January to recruit students to clubs. • The Multi-Cultural Club held a showing of the documentary “Buena Vista Social Club” in February and the movie “The Animatrix (2003)” in April. • The Uwharrie Dreams Writing Club held several activities during the year, including poetry parties and workshops, as well as an Open Mike Night, at which students could read original work or their favorite poets. • The RCC Student Nurse Association held a food drive in April and May. The ADN students also provided free stroke screening at Merce Clinic in June. • Several “Meet the President” events were held to allow students to interact with RCC President Robert Shackleford. • RCC’s SGA visited the Graybrier Nursing Home in Archdale as part of a community service project. The students delivered free socks donated by Harriss & Covington Hosiery in Asheboro to the residents of Graybrier. 26 Almost half of the adult population in the U.S. are enrolled in some form of lifelong learning. Lifelong Learning 27 Emergency Services Training Weekend Phillip Larimore, a retired New York City firefighter and survivor of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, was the guest speaker at the kickoff of Randolph Community College’s 7th Annual Emergency Services Weekend School, March 4-6. Larimore has 19 years in fire service, including eight years with the Fire Department, City of New York (FDNY), where he worked in some of the city’s busiest engine and truck companies. Although assigned to a Brooklyn engine company in 2001, Larimore was riding Haz-Mat Co. 1 on 9/11 and was one of only two members of that unit to survive the attack at the World Trade Center. Emergency services workers from across the state participated in the Emergency Services Weekend School (above) hosted by Randolph Community College and the Randolph County Fire Protection Association. Approximately 30 courses in firefighting, emergency care, rescue, safety and leadership skills were held. Customized Training When Teleflex Medical of Asheboro recently implemented an $8.7 million expansion that will see the company grow from 550 to 606 full-time employees, they turned to RCC and the Customized Training Program to begin training the new hires and updating the skills of incumbent employees. RCC’s Customized Training Program supports the economic development efforts of Randolph County by providing education and training opportunities for eligible businesses and industries. It ofers programs and training services to assist new and existing business and industry to remain productive, profitable, and within Randolph County. Teleflex was approved for over $110,000 in training through RCC’s program. The majority of the training focuses in two areas—lean manufacturing and biotechnology. “This partnership and training provided, especially in the areas of lean manufacturing principles, is crucial to our longer term success at Teleflex,” said Brian Payne, Teleflex plant manager. “I have been impressed with the training content and level of engagement from the facilitators and our employees are beginning to embrace continuous improvement as simply an ongoing way we do business. Hats off to RCC for helping us be successful in these efforts!” Hats off to RCC for helping us be successful in these efforts! Training classes began at Teleflex in February 2011 (above) and will continue for approximately two years. 7,722 Continuing Education students enrolled in 2010-2011. 28 Crisis Intervention Training Seventeen men and women from the Asheboro City Police and the Randolph County Sheriff’s department trained in July 2010 and eight Asheboro City police officers trained in March 2011 (above) as part of a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) community collaborative effort at Randolph Community College. The officers completed a 40-hour certification course that taught skills in assessing a mentally ill person in crisis, de-escalation skills, and provided community resource information. The CIT program is designed to give law enforcement officers in the field a better understanding of mental illness and the community resources that are available to law enforcement. It provides officers one more tool to use in the field—a new approach to dealing with what is perceived to be a difficult population, resulting in a significant increase in safety for officers, the mentally ill, and the public. The Randolph County CIT Community Collaborative that developed this program is comprised of representatives from Sandhills Center, National Alliance on Mental Illness-Randolph, Randolph Hospital, Asheboro Police Department, Randolph Community College, Randolph Health Improvement Partnership, N.C. Mentor, Community Corrections Probation/Parole, and others. GATE Gets Extension The Growing America Through Entrepreneurship (GATE) program, which has provided entrepreneurship training and coaching to dislocated workers in rural North Carolina since April 2009, received an additional $400,000 in funding recently to extend the program through Oct. 31, 2012. As of June 1, 2011, the North Carolina GATE project had received 1,176 applications and awarded 862 GATE scholarships. The scholarships have resulted in 106 client start-ups with 208 jobs created statewide. Randolph Community College, one of nine GATE providers, had awarded 177 scholarships during the same period, investing over 904 counseling hours in its clients. Jobs NOW is Now Ongoing Randolph Community College converted its JobsNOW programs into Occupational Extension certificate courses in January 2011. They include courses in Electrician Assistant, HVAC, Hospitality and Tourism, and Administrative Assistant. Instructional hours were added to all the programs to increase the employability of the graduates. Funding for the JobsNOW program, which came from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), ended in December 2010. 29 The Foundation was chartered in 1979. The JB Davis Bell and Clock Tower was erected in 2003. FOUNDATION STAFF Susan V. Milner Associate Vice President for Institutional Advancement Joyce B. Wolford Executive Director, RCC Foundation Linda C. Morgan Foundation Administrative Assistant 30 Steven E. Eblin Regis H. Eger Jim Foster Dr. Stuart B. Fountain Betty F. Foust Marylin S. Fowler Vickie H. Gallimore James G. Gouty Neal Griffin III Dr. J.B. Griffith III Wilbert L. Hancock Ann M. Hoover Curt Lorimer Waymon Martin Foundation Board of Directors (as of July 1, 2011) It all began with a vision... What began as a degree requirement for one man has turned into a legacy that promotes and empowers educational dreams for all Randolph County citizens. The Randolph Community College Foundation was chartered in 1979 as the Randolph Technical College Foundation. It was the brainchild of then Randolph Technical College Vice President Larry K. Linker whose doctoral dissertation was a plan for developing a fundraising organization for RCC. When the College changed its name to Randolph Community College in 1988, the Foundation followed suit becoming the Randolph Community College Foundation. In the early years, the Foundation focused on raising scholarship endowments in which the principal was invested and a portion of the earnings used for scholarships each year. A $3,000 contribution created a named scholarship that provides an annual scholarship award today. Another fundraising effort in the early 1980s created an endowment to benefit RCC’s Associate Degree Nursing program. This endowment provides funds to support the nursing program each year—funds for equipment, supplies, accreditation, and salaries. Over the years some things have changed— today there are more than 150 scholarship funds, numerous program support funds, and the minimum investment to establish an endowed fund is $10,000. The mission remains the same—to provide a margin of excellence for Randolph Community College. Daffie H. Matthews Dr. Cynthia G. Schroder H. Dean Sexton Dr. Robert Shackleford Jr. F. Mac Sherrill Mini Singh Steve D. Williams The charter Board of Directors for the Randolph Technical College Foundation were M.H. Branson, Dr. Larry K. Linker, J.W. Plummer, and Bill J. Lawrence. Dr. Larry K. Linker 31 Foundation President The Randolph Community College Foundation is creating opportunities, changing lives, and meeting needs thanks to the many contributors who have provided support since the Foundation was chartered in 1979. In 2010-2011, the Foundation provided over $187,000 in scholarships to RCC’s students. These scholarships enabled students to get an education and make better lives for their families. In addition to scholarships, the Foundation provided over $300,000 to the College to support various programs and innovations. On behalf of the RCC Foundation Board of Directors, I would like to thank every donor who helps provide a margin of excellence for Randolph Community College. This Report to the Community recognizes donors who contributed during 2010-2011 and those who are part of our Lifetime Membership Clubs. Over the years, the Foundation’s assets have grown to over $8,000,000. What started as Dr. Larry Linker’s doctoral dissertation has turned into a legacy that continues to provide educational opportunities for thousands of students. Thank YOU for making this possible. Sincerely, Dr. Cynthia G. Schroder President, RCC Foundation Ann M. Hoover Vice President Daffie H. Matthews Treasurer Susan V.

Freeze James P. Hill Jr. Lillian B. Jordan Elbert J. Lassiter Curt J. Lorimer Alan S. Luria Cynthia G. Schroder R. Andrews Sykes Board of Trustees (as of July 1, 2011) Celebrating 50 Years Of Education 1962-2012 RANDOLPH COMMUNITY COLLEGE In the spring of 1957, when local business, educational, industrial and civic leaders, including Charles W. McCrary Sr., made a bid to the N.C. Legislature for funds to locate a vocational-technical school in Randolph County, they could not have imagined just how much of an impact that school would have on Randolph County citizens for years to come. On Sept. 4, 1962, The Randolph Industrial Education Center opened its doors for classes with an enrollment of 75 full-time students, eight faculty members, and four staff members. Curriculum programs offered were Automotive Mechanics, Drafting, Machine Shop, and Welding. Three name changes, dozens of additional programs, and thousands of graduates later, Randolph Community College prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2012. Charles W. McCrary Sr. Merton H. Branson, first president 3 Dr. Robert S. Shackleford Jr. President, Randolph Community College When Randolph Community College first opened its doors in 1962, it was a different world: • That was the year that astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit the earth. • People listened on the radio to Bob Dylan singing “Blowin’ in the Wind,” heard Paul Anka sing “Go Away Little Girl,” and enjoyed the Four Seasons’ rendition of “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” • On television, we were all absorbed in the antics of Jed Clampett and his family on The Beverly Hillbillies, charmed by a wise and caring doctor named Ben Casey, and followed the adventures of Tod Stiles and Buz Murdoch as they traveled the country on Route 66 in their Corvette convertible. • On a more serious note, the world held its breath as the Cuban Missile Crisis took us to the very brink of a nuclear holocaust before President Kennedy finally persuaded the Russians to back down and remove their missiles from Cuba. From those days 50 years ago until this very day, untold thousands of students have come to Randolph Community College with a dream and have found a faculty and staf who are fully committed to helping them fulfill those dreams. With the help of our faithful community partners and friends who support us, we are able to open doors to a future that many of our students didn’t even know was possible for them. It was Mark Twain who said: “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So, throw of the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Welcome from the President Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” That’s what RCC has been doing faithfully for 50 years—helping people sail, explore, dream, and discover. As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary in 2012, we also reach forward passionately to the next 50 years of eager students, an enriched community, a well-trained workforce, and the daily joy of providing opportunities and changing the lives of those who come to us with dreams in their hearts! Mission: To provide educational and training opportunities that make a positive change in the lives of students and the community. Dr. Bob Shackleford’s History with RCC Program Head for Early Childhood Education (1998-1999) Chair of Human Services Dept. (1999) Dean of Student Services (2000-2003) President (2007-present) 4 Only 8% of the College’s revenue comes from tuition and fees. For the Record 5 James W. Kelley Named VP for Student Services James William “J.W.” Kelley joined Randolph Community College in January 2011 as vice president for student services. In this position, he sets the direction for Student Services programs and activities that enhance opportunities for students to succeed. Kelley previously worked for Fayetteville Technical Community College as division chair for the Humanities and Social Sciences Division. He held a number of different administrative and leadership positions in student services through the years, including director of admissions at a college several times the size of RCC. Kelley earned a B.A. from Johnson Bible College in Knoxville, Tenn., an M.A. in Counseling from Cincinnati Bible University in Ohio, and an Ed.D. in Leadership from Nova Southeastern University. Distinguished Service Award Goes to Lenton Slack Lenton Slack, retired RCC Interior Design instructor and renowned local artist, (shown above center with Jim Campbell and Dr. Robert Shackleford), was the recipient of the Randolph Community College Board of Trustees 2010 Distinguished Service Award. Slack joined the college in 1971 as an instructor and for the next 28 years he devoted his life to building and developing the Interior Design program. His passion for Interior Design made RCC’s program one of the top programs in the state. His passion for Interior Design made RCC’s Interior Design program one of the top programs in the state. Slack was instrumental in developing the annual Interior Design Showcase, a staple of the program from the first model room designed at the Southern Living Show in 1972 until Slack retired on December 31, 1999. Senator Kay Hagan, Representative Howard Coble Visit RCC U.S. Senator Kay R. Hagan and U.S. Representative Howard Coble both visited RCC’s Asheboro Campus in 2010. Sen. Hagan came to RCC in August and Congressman Coble in September; both toured the Richard Petty Education Center and the old Klaussner plant that will become RCC’s Continuing Education and Industrial Center once renovations are complete. Sen. Hagan spoke briefly to automotive and auto body students and instructors before she was briefed on plans for the CEIC. Sen. Hagan came to RCC a second time in September when she hosted a grants and contracting workshop here for municipal leaders, nonprofits, and business owners to gather information from federal, state, and philanthropic funding agencies about potential resources. 6 61% of the College’s expenditures go to instruction or student services/financial aid. 7 Bryson Completes State Leadership Institute RCC student Shane Bryson of Thomasville (left) graduated in March 2011 from the North Carolina Community College System Student Leadership Institute, a yearlong leadership development program. “The Student Leadership Institute was an experience I would not trade for anything,” said Bryson. “Through the various workshops and rigorous projects, I have gained valuable tools that will help me in my future endeavors and have helped me become an all-around better person. The best part of the SLI experience has been the lifelong friendships I have built with students all around the state in other community colleges going through the same training. Together I am sure we are fully prepared to be future leaders in our state because of the Student Leadership Institute.” Bryson has been president of the RCC Student Government Association for two years. He also graduated from RCC’s 2010-2011 Student Leadership Academy and was a Foundation Ambassador. Three RCC Students Received Gene Haas Scholarships Three first-year Machining Technology students at RCC were awarded $1,000 each from the Gene Haas Machining Technology Scholarship through the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) in spring 2011. This is the first year that RCC students have applied and received this scholarship. Charles “Chuck” Lathe of Franklinville, Trevor Kindley of Trinity, and Charles Ridley of Asheboro received the scholarship monies to apply toward their educational expenses. Jones Attends iSchool Summer Institute at University of Pittsburgh Malachi Jones (above), a second-year RCC Business Administration student and a participant in RCC’s Inner Strength 3MP (minority male mentoring program), was selected to participate in the University of Pittsburgh’s iSchool Inclusion Institute (i3) in June 2011. Jones is one of only 20 students admitted each year to this nationally recognized, competitive program and was the only community college student selected. The four-week residential summer institute is designed for undergraduate students from accredited colleges and universities who have an interest in graduate school and the information sciences. “My experience at the iSchool Inclusion Institute would be described as an unforgettable journey,” said Jones. “From the start of day one, my cohorts and I started communicating with each other and getting to know the faculty and staff over the program… We began compiling ideas for our team research project to be presented in the summer of 2012. My group decided to take up the digital divide between K-5 grade schools. Our goal is not to target the whole nation, but to pinpoint a specific area where these types of children are not receiving access to technology, and we hope to solve this solution by implementing new methods of teaching technology in the classroom and abroad.” Below: Machining Technology, 19648 RCC Grad Wins Prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship Amarinh Kongmanivong of Jamestown (below), a 2011 Randolph Community College Interior Design graduate, was one of 60 community college students nationwide recently awarded a Jack Kent Cooke Foundation 2011 Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship to pursue her bachelor’s degree. The Foundation provides each student with a scholarship valued at up to $30,000 per year for up to three years. Kongmanivong was born in Laos and fled with her family to a refugee camp in Thailand before coming to the United States. At RCC, Kongmanivong was a member of Phi Theta Kappa honor society, won the Curriculum Award in 2011, and was a recipient of the Jena and Stephen B. Hall Scholarship from WithIt (Women in the Home Industry Today) in 2010. In addition, she was awarded a Merit Scholarship from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her goal is to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus on Designed Objects. First Cosmetology Graduates Randolph Community College’s first Cosmetology graduates completed the program and entered the workforce this year. Eight students completed their Associate in Applied Science degrees, one completed a diploma, and nine completed a certificate. 100% pass rate on state boards The students also have a 100% pass rate on the state board exam given by the National- Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology for North Carolina. After 1,200 hours of instruction, if a student passes the exam with a score of 70 or higher, he/she is licensed at an apprentice level, but then must work under a licensed cosmetologist for six months. After 1,500 hours of instruction, if a student passes the exam with 75% or higher, he/she becomes a full licensed cosmetologist. Cultural Arts Series Continues The Cultural Arts Committee presented a successful Cultural Arts Series during the 2010- 2011 school year, kicking off with an Art in the Park event in September on the Asheboro Campus. The show featured the works of area artisans and crafters, including painter Lenton Slack, potter Adam Wiley, and fine art photographer Ashley Fetner. Composer/songwriter Laurelyn Dossett performed a concert in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center auditorium in October. A Holiday Concert featuring the Handbell Choir from Marlboro Friends Meeting in Sophia preceded a Tree Lighting Ceremony in December. In February 2011, Robert T. Barnes, an instructor of history at Central Carolina Community College, lectured on the history and importance of Black History Month. The series concluded with the play “Hansel and Gretel” by the popular troupe from UNCG’s North Carolina Theatre for Young People. First cosmetology graduating class. 9 In 1962, an average hair cut was .50¢ 10 GOOD TO GREAT 11 RCC Meets Exceptional Standards Third Year Running Randolph Community College was one of only two community colleges in North Carolina that achieved “Exceptional Institutional Performance (EIP)” standards for the third consecutive year, according to the Critical Success Factors report released in June. Randolph was one of 12 community colleges in North Carolina that made “Exceptional” status this year on the annual accountability measures for North Carolina’s 58 community colleges. In addition to meeting or exceeding all eight system standards, these schools met additional performance goals. Those goals were achieving the college performance rates of students who began in, rather than transferred into, the UNC System and attaining at least a 70 percent passing rate for students who sit for a licensure or certification exam for the first time. The accountability measures are based on 2009- 2010 academic year data. It has been a year of excellence. “It has been a year of excellence,” said RCC President Robert S. Shackleford Jr., noting that RCC achieved these standards even while enduring three years of budget cuts. “We are one of the highest performing colleges in the state…I am very proud of our faculty and staff.” SACS Reaccreditation Randolph Community College’s accreditation was reaffirmed by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 2011. RCC’s next reaffirmation will take place in 2020. Rhonda Winters Receives Athena Award The Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce honored Rhonda Sullivan Winters (below) as the recipient of its ATHENA Award during its 85th annual meeting in January 2011. The ATHENA Award recognizes businesswomen who have made significant contributions to their profession and community. Winters joined RCC in November 1988 as assistant director for community services. She became assistant director of extension in 1990 and director of extension for the Archdale Center in July 1991. In 2007, she was promoted to dean of the Archdale Center. Winters has been a volunteer for the Archdale/Trinity Chamber of Commerce for over 10 years. She is a graduate of the Archdale/ Trinity Chamber’s Leadership program, and was awarded the A/T Chamber “Member of the Year” award in 2005 for her many years of service and commitment to that organization and the community. RCC students celebrate the College’s accomplishments. 12 Excellence in Teaching Award and Staff of the Year Award Mathematics coordinator and instructor Sue Shelton was the recipient of the 2010 Excellence in Teaching Award at RCC; and Lisa Hughes, assistant director of marketing and design, was RCC’s Staff Person of the Year. ...huge difference in the lives... “Sue makes a huge difference in the lives of many of the students fortunate enough to enroll in one of her classes,” reads one letter of support from Shelton��s nomination. But a student evaluation says it best: “If all instructors were like Mrs. Shelton, this would be the best college in N.C. She makes sure everyone understands the material…she treats all students equal and is the picture perfect teacher.” A graduate of RCC’s own Commercial Graphics program, Lisa Hughes is an excellent and respected graphic designer. But her skills go far beyond design. “Lisa works well above and beyond the call of duty. She never wants an opportunity missed because the marketing materials weren’t provided,” reads one letter of recommendation. Her other contributions include serving as a marketing expert for community agencies, supervising graphics interns, working with RCC’s alumni group, volunteering as an advisor for RCC’s Campus Crusaders club, and delivering “radical hospitality” every day. ...delivering “radical hospitality”... Male Mentoring Program RCC established the Inner Strength Male Minority Mentoring program in September 2010 after receiving a five-year grant ($25,000 a year) from the North Carolina Community College System. The goal of the program is to increase graduation and retention rates among minority males. Arnold Gaines Jr., student retention specialist (shown below), administers the program, which has been very successful in its first year. Activities this year have included visits to four-year colleges and universities such as North Carolina A&T University, Johnson C. Smith University, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, UNC-Charlotte, and Winston-Salem State University. The students also attended a diversity leadership conference at Elon University and a male mentoring leadership conference at Edgecombe Community College. On campus, members participated in numerous faculty/staff-led workshops and heard guest speakers on the group’s three goals: academic enhancement, character and leadership development, and career development. In addition, they participated in the Asheboro Christmas Parade and conducted a Fox 8 Gifts for Kids campaign in December. The group was awarded an extra $5,000 from NCCCS based on recruitment (39 members in the first year) and was the 4th-ranked program in the state. Left to right: Sue Shelton and Lisa Hughes. 13 A record number of students participated in RCC’s 2011 Curriculum Graduation. Shown right, J.W. “Willie” Plummer, Board of Trustee chair, at the 1981 graduation ceremony. 14 The Student Services Center was under construction in 1979. The new Welcome Center was added in 2011. 15 Welcome Center Ribbon Cutting RCC administration, faculty, and staff celebrated the official opening of the Welcome Center on May 24 with a ribbon cutting attended by approximately 150 people. The facility is actually a 1,700-square-foot addition to the front of the Student Services Center. It includes a large welcome desk and waiting area, and two small offices, one of which contains computers dedicated to students who need to fill out admissions applications or financial aid forms. This adds much-needed space and creates an opportunity for much-improved customer service for our students. “It’s hard to imagine how 1,700 square feet of construction can change the appearance of a campus,” said RCC President Robert Shackleford. “This adds much-needed space and creates an opportunity for much-improved customer service for our students.” The facade, which includes stucco, stone, and glass, is being replicated throughout the campus as updates are made to modernize the look of the buildings originally built in the 1960s and 1970s. The Welcome Center operates similar to a triage center in a hospital or doctor’s office. It is the first place that visitors are directed. The addition, which cost just under $493,000, was paid for from capital funds provided by the Randolph County Commission. Master’s Program Offered at RCC When Randolph Community College President Robert Shackleford announced the University Center of Randolph County in 2008, which offered bachelor’s degrees locally for the first time, it was a historic occasion. RCC made history a second time in spring 2011 when it again partnered with Pfeiffer University to offer the first master’s degree in Randolph County. The Master of Education program through Pfeiffer is offered in a hybrid format, a mix of in-class, in-person meetings and online learning opportunities. Classes meet one night a week, and students can finish in six semesters (two years). It is designed for teachers with an elementary license looking to enrich their content knowledge and refine their ability to design and deliver effective instruction. Master of Education program through Pfeiffer... at RCC The program is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and approved by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. Above, left to right: Harold Holmes, Robert Carmac, Ed Kluttz, Robert Shackleford, and Jim Campbell. A reception (right) followed the ceremony. Pfeiffer University is a member of the University Center of Randolph County.16 100% Pass Rates Randolph Community College’s Health Sciences and Public Service Division reported a 100% board exam pass rate for Associate Degree Nursing students, a 100% board exam pass rate for Radiography students, a 100% board exam pass rate for Certified Nursing Assistant students, and a 100% board exam pass rate for Cosmetology students during the 2010-2011 academic year. “How do I put into perspective what this last year has been like?” said RCC President Robert Shackleford, of the accomplishment. “We had the toughest budget year in the history of the College and the community college system with a nearly 30% enrollment increase. ...We are a very good college…and we’re closing in on great.” Above, recent ADN students’ uniforms differ dramatically from these in the early years of the program (right).17 Instructors Make the Difference RCC President Robert Shackleford travels frequently around the state and one question he’s asked frequently is how RCC is succeeding during these difficult budget times. “They ask ‘What are you all doing?’ and I answer ‘It’s our people.’ Most of the people here drive up every morning on a mission. That mission is to help students succeed.” That mission is to help students succeed. RCC instructors demonstrated that drive to help students be successful in many ways during this past year. For example, Spanish instructor Mark Dowell (top left) engaged students in his Spanish class with a hands-on, write-to-learn activity that required students to write in Spanish the concept of demonstrative adjectives—near, somewhat far, and very far away. The write-to-learn activity provided repetition of Spanish vocabulary students already knew and a scaffolding method for writing-to-learn in Spanish as well as the fundamentals of literacy instruction in Spanish: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Instructor Christine Myers (left) makes mathematics fun by employing different teaching techniques for different learning styles. A “bungee egg jumping” exercise in her class allowed students to explore linear functions through modeling. After “jumping” their eggs with different amounts of bungee cord (rubber bands), the students determine a linear equation that models the behavior they observed. Spanish instructor Delores de Haro (below) likes to schedule hands-on demonstrations, like preparing a traditional food plate including frijoles, queso, lechuga, tomate, and crema, to make the students curious about learning a second language. 3,795 Curriculum (credit) students enrolled in 2010-2011.18 Student Government Association Student LEADERSHIP CoED Intramurals FALL & SPRING FesT PHI THETA KAPPA CAMPUS CRUSADERS G.R.I.T.S.

The award was established in 2010 by the North Carolina Association of Community College Presidents to honor the late Dr. Dallas Herring, one of the state’s earliest advocates of community colleges. Lopez graduated from the Associate in Arts (College Transfer) program at RCC in 2009. At RCC, she was a member of Phi Theta Kappa and an Ambassador. She transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and finished her bachelor’s degree there in spring 2011. Lopez was granted early admission to three Schools of Dentistry and has enrolled at the UNC School of Dentistry. Attending RCC was the best decision I could have ever made regarding my college career. “Attending RCC was the best decision I could have ever made regarding my college career,” said Lopez. “At RCC, I was used to working harder than I did in high school, so I had more discipline than most students who come (to UNC) straight from high school.” Lopez’s long-term goal is to work at a public dental clinic that offers care to low-income communities in North Carolina. Academic Excellence David L. Jordan of Asheboro was RCC’s Academic Excellence Award recipient and represented the school at the North Carolina Community College System 2011 Excellence Event in April in Raleigh. At the time, Jordan was a student in the Electrical/Electronics Technology program at RCC. He graduated on May 11 with an associate degree, diploma and certificate in the program. After enduring a total of five layoffs between him and his wife, Jordan enrolled at RCC... “David is the kind of student who exhibits leadership and has a great aptitude for his chosen field,” said RCC Electrical/Electronics instructor Tom Jones. “He takes the time for study that is necessary and spends a lot of extra time at school for other leadership activities. I know he is quite deserving.” Jordan said he had been employed at Burlington Industries for 22 years and planned on retiring there when the plant shut down in September of 2001. After enduring a total of five layoffs between him and his wife, Jordan enrolled at RCC at age 48. Jordan made the President’s List with a 4.0 GPA, was inducted into Phi Theta Kappa honor society, and graduated from RCC’s Student Leadership Academy while enrolled in school here.

Scott Ralls, David Jordan, Hilda Pinnix-Ragland. 20 Leadership Through Service Seventeen students graduated from RCC’s fourth annual Student Leadership Academy on March 29. One part of the Academy is a Student Leadership Project (above and right), in which the students are charged with finding a need in the community and meeting that need. One student team staged an event called “Care to Share” at which they simulated homelessness by sleeping outside the Foundation Conference Center overnight. They collected 68 bags of food, 37 sleeping bags, and 24 trash bags of clothing for the needy. The second group completed three projects: a visit to Carillon Assisted Living to provide a night of fun, food, and activities for the residents; an outdoor cleanup and planting project at Hospice of Randolph County; and a project to aid Habitat for Humanity. The third student team found a project close to their hearts. When the home of one of the students in the group partially burned because of a chimney fire, the students devoted three Saturdays to help clean up and rebuild the burned rooms. CLUB AWARDS Student Government Association (SGA) SGA President Shane Bryson of Thomasville was awarded the Daryl Mitchell Award for Outstanding Students for the Central Division at the spring meeting of the North Carolina Comprehensive Community College Student Government Association (N4CSGA). To be selected, Bryson had to submit an essay and be interviewed by a committee. Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) RCC’s Beta Theta Rho chapter of Phi Theta Kappa brought home many awards from the 2011 Carolinas Regional Convention. In addition to numerous chapter awards, individual awards included the following: Shawn Vuncannon, Beta Theta Rho president, won an Honorable Mention in the Distinguished Chapter Member category. Vuncannon and members Charleen Holt and Barbara Robinson were all named to the Hall of Honor for 2011 and received individual trophies. Waymon Martin, business administration instructor, and Clark Adams, English instructor, both advisors for RCC’s group, were presented Carolinas Region Horizon Awards. Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) Two members of the RCC chapter of Phi Beta Lambda won statewide awards during the group’s State Leadership Conference in Charlotte in April. Laura Davis of Asheboro, chapter president, won 1st place in the state for retail management, and Andrew Delk of Denton won 3rd place under the business law topic and 4th place for macroeconomics. Delk and Davis (below) represented North Carolina in their topic areas at the National Phi Beta Lambda convention in Orlando, Fla., in June.21 One of the earliest clubs at RCC was the Circle “K” club, which began in 1976. 22 RCC Students Collaborate with N.C. Zoo RCC’s Advertising & Graphic Design students worked on a project with the N.C. Zoo to create a costume for the Eastern Hellbender salamander to promote education about this species, which is listed as a Species of Concern. The students debuted the costume at the New River Celebration Day at New River State Park in Laurel Springs, N.C., on Aug. 28, 2010. The students worked with John Groves, N.C. Zoo curator of reptiles and amphibians, who studies the Hellbender, and Jayne Owen Parker, director of conservation education for the N.C. Zoological Society. They designed and created every inch of the costume (above, below and right), from researching the species, to designing the “skin,” to the mechanics of making the mouth move so the Hellbender can talk to zoo visitors. The students even made a T-shirt for the costumed character, nicknamed “Snotty.” The T-shirt reads, “I rock for snot otters” on the front. On the back is printed the following: “I am your friend. I help clean mountain streams. I am not poisonous. Help save me.” In addition, the students created a full-fledged public awareness campaign for the Hellbender. The project was featured in a front-page Wall Street Journal article in March. Interior Design Students Complete Local Projects Randolph County Emergency Services has a detailed plan for expansion of its 9-1-1 Call Center and a local couple and their builder obtained some great ideas for the renovation of an old family home thanks to the efforts of RCC’s Interior Design students in the first year of a student/community project called the Randolph County Design Initiative. ���The students had the chance to work with a live client and gain real world experience,” said Holly Barker, program head and instructor. The commercial and residential projects were completed during the fall semester. “We were blown away. They exceeded our expectations,” said Justine Buxton, technology officer for Randolph County Emergency Services, about the results. The organization will incorporate many of the students’ ideas when they move forward with the project in the next fiscal year. We were blown away. They exceeded our expectations. In the residential project, the students were asked to combine two households of furnishings and styles into one. The students created nine different designs and presented them to the contractor and client, providing the client with a project book that showed space plans, materials, furniture placement, elevations, budgetary considerations, and even where to purchase items. 23 The Hellbender, otherwise known as the Snot Otter, is listed as a Species of Concern. 24 The Faculty Association collected over 200 coats for the “Give A Kid A Coat” project. Creating Opportunities. Changing Lives... 25 Student Activities RCC’s student organizations are incredibly active with fun events like fall and spring flings, intramural sports, and community service projects. We can’t list them all, but here are just a few: Faculty Association The Faculty Association at RCC conducted a Give a Kid a Coat campaign drive on the Asheboro Campus in December 2010. The faculty members collected 241 gently used or new coats to donate to the campaign drive held annually by A Cleaner World, Fox8/WGHP, 107.5KZL, and The Salvation Army. I told my husband that someone else could wear it. Dahlia Oldham, an RCC student who helped with the campaign, collected over 70 coats from family and friends. “I never gave (our coats) away before,” said Oldham of her family’s coats, which numbered about 20. She even gave up one of her own favorite coats. “I told my husband that someone else could wear it,” she said. “My heart is really full.” My heart is really full. RCC faculty members Carra Miskovich and Maria LeBaron delivered the coats to A Cleaner World on December 2. • Common Threads, a lunchtime diversity group, met weekly during the 2010-2011 school year. • Campus Crusaders events included a Welcome Back cookout, a food drive, and volunteering at Samaritin’s Purse. • Snack Attacks throughout the year treated students to popcorn, doughnuts and coffee. • Intramural basketball games were held throughout September and October. • SGA President Shane Bryson dressed up like Uncle Sam and Vice President Daniel Smith dressed up like Lady Liberty to celebrate Constitution Day. • SGA hosted Trick or Trunk for the kids on Oct. 28. • Phi Beta Lambda held doughnut/coffee fundraisers in November and February/March. They also collected new and gently-used stuffed animals for S.A.F.E. (Stuffed Animals For Emergencies). In addition, the group sold bears wearing college logo hoodies. • The SGA hosted two blood drives with the American Red Cross during the school year. • Phi Theta Kappa held two induction ceremonies, one in November and one in April. • The Inner Strength Male Minority Mentoring group conducted a toy drive for “Fox 8 Gifts of Kids” in November. • SGA sponsored a Student Holiday Party on Dec. 8 with music by the group, Analogue Season. The party was conducted in conjunction with a canned food drive. • The SGA hosted its first ever RCC Superbowl for students, faculty, and staff, playing Madden 2011 football on a PS3 in the Student Services lounge. A tournament on NCAA Basketball 2010 on the Xbox 360 was held in March. • Co-ed volleyball and dodgeball were added to the intramural sports schedule, with games held in March and April. • A Club Day was held at the end of January to recruit students to clubs. • The Multi-Cultural Club held a showing of the documentary “Buena Vista Social Club” in February and the movie “The Animatrix (2003)” in April. • The Uwharrie Dreams Writing Club held several activities during the year, including poetry parties and workshops, as well as an Open Mike Night, at which students could read original work or their favorite poets. • The RCC Student Nurse Association held a food drive in April and May. The ADN students also provided free stroke screening at Merce Clinic in June. • Several “Meet the President” events were held to allow students to interact with RCC President Robert Shackleford. • RCC’s SGA visited the Graybrier Nursing Home in Archdale as part of a community service project. The students delivered free socks donated by Harriss & Covington Hosiery in Asheboro to the residents of Graybrier. 26 Almost half of the adult population in the U.S. are enrolled in some form of lifelong learning. Lifelong Learning 27 Emergency Services Training Weekend Phillip Larimore, a retired New York City firefighter and survivor of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, was the guest speaker at the kickoff of Randolph Community College’s 7th Annual Emergency Services Weekend School, March 4-6. Larimore has 19 years in fire service, including eight years with the Fire Department, City of New York (FDNY), where he worked in some of the city’s busiest engine and truck companies. Although assigned to a Brooklyn engine company in 2001, Larimore was riding Haz-Mat Co. 1 on 9/11 and was one of only two members of that unit to survive the attack at the World Trade Center. Emergency services workers from across the state participated in the Emergency Services Weekend School (above) hosted by Randolph Community College and the Randolph County Fire Protection Association. Approximately 30 courses in firefighting, emergency care, rescue, safety and leadership skills were held. Customized Training When Teleflex Medical of Asheboro recently implemented an $8.7 million expansion that will see the company grow from 550 to 606 full-time employees, they turned to RCC and the Customized Training Program to begin training the new hires and updating the skills of incumbent employees. RCC’s Customized Training Program supports the economic development efforts of Randolph County by providing education and training opportunities for eligible businesses and industries. It ofers programs and training services to assist new and existing business and industry to remain productive, profitable, and within Randolph County. Teleflex was approved for over $110,000 in training through RCC’s program. The majority of the training focuses in two areas—lean manufacturing and biotechnology. “This partnership and training provided, especially in the areas of lean manufacturing principles, is crucial to our longer term success at Teleflex,” said Brian Payne, Teleflex plant manager. “I have been impressed with the training content and level of engagement from the facilitators and our employees are beginning to embrace continuous improvement as simply an ongoing way we do business. Hats off to RCC for helping us be successful in these efforts!” Hats off to RCC for helping us be successful in these efforts! Training classes began at Teleflex in February 2011 (above) and will continue for approximately two years. 7,722 Continuing Education students enrolled in 2010-2011. 28 Crisis Intervention Training Seventeen men and women from the Asheboro City Police and the Randolph County Sheriff’s department trained in July 2010 and eight Asheboro City police officers trained in March 2011 (above) as part of a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) community collaborative effort at Randolph Community College. The officers completed a 40-hour certification course that taught skills in assessing a mentally ill person in crisis, de-escalation skills, and provided community resource information. The CIT program is designed to give law enforcement officers in the field a better understanding of mental illness and the community resources that are available to law enforcement. It provides officers one more tool to use in the field—a new approach to dealing with what is perceived to be a difficult population, resulting in a significant increase in safety for officers, the mentally ill, and the public. The Randolph County CIT Community Collaborative that developed this program is comprised of representatives from Sandhills Center, National Alliance on Mental Illness-Randolph, Randolph Hospital, Asheboro Police Department, Randolph Community College, Randolph Health Improvement Partnership, N.C. Mentor, Community Corrections Probation/Parole, and others. GATE Gets Extension The Growing America Through Entrepreneurship (GATE) program, which has provided entrepreneurship training and coaching to dislocated workers in rural North Carolina since April 2009, received an additional $400,000 in funding recently to extend the program through Oct. 31, 2012. As of June 1, 2011, the North Carolina GATE project had received 1,176 applications and awarded 862 GATE scholarships. The scholarships have resulted in 106 client start-ups with 208 jobs created statewide. Randolph Community College, one of nine GATE providers, had awarded 177 scholarships during the same period, investing over 904 counseling hours in its clients. Jobs NOW is Now Ongoing Randolph Community College converted its JobsNOW programs into Occupational Extension certificate courses in January 2011. They include courses in Electrician Assistant, HVAC, Hospitality and Tourism, and Administrative Assistant. Instructional hours were added to all the programs to increase the employability of the graduates. Funding for the JobsNOW program, which came from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), ended in December 2010. 29 The Foundation was chartered in 1979. The JB Davis Bell and Clock Tower was erected in 2003. FOUNDATION STAFF Susan V. Milner Associate Vice President for Institutional Advancement Joyce B. Wolford Executive Director, RCC Foundation Linda C. Morgan Foundation Administrative Assistant 30 Steven E. Eblin Regis H. Eger Jim Foster Dr. Stuart B. Fountain Betty F. Foust Marylin S. Fowler Vickie H. Gallimore James G. Gouty Neal Griffin III Dr. J.B. Griffith III Wilbert L. Hancock Ann M. Hoover Curt Lorimer Waymon Martin Foundation Board of Directors (as of July 1, 2011) It all began with a vision... What began as a degree requirement for one man has turned into a legacy that promotes and empowers educational dreams for all Randolph County citizens. The Randolph Community College Foundation was chartered in 1979 as the Randolph Technical College Foundation. It was the brainchild of then Randolph Technical College Vice President Larry K. Linker whose doctoral dissertation was a plan for developing a fundraising organization for RCC. When the College changed its name to Randolph Community College in 1988, the Foundation followed suit becoming the Randolph Community College Foundation. In the early years, the Foundation focused on raising scholarship endowments in which the principal was invested and a portion of the earnings used for scholarships each year. A $3,000 contribution created a named scholarship that provides an annual scholarship award today. Another fundraising effort in the early 1980s created an endowment to benefit RCC’s Associate Degree Nursing program. This endowment provides funds to support the nursing program each year—funds for equipment, supplies, accreditation, and salaries. Over the years some things have changed— today there are more than 150 scholarship funds, numerous program support funds, and the minimum investment to establish an endowed fund is $10,000. The mission remains the same—to provide a margin of excellence for Randolph Community College. Daffie H. Matthews Dr. Cynthia G. Schroder H. Dean Sexton Dr. Robert Shackleford Jr. F. Mac Sherrill Mini Singh Steve D. Williams The charter Board of Directors for the Randolph Technical College Foundation were M.H. Branson, Dr. Larry K. Linker, J.W. Plummer, and Bill J. Lawrence. Dr. Larry K. Linker 31 Foundation President The Randolph Community College Foundation is creating opportunities, changing lives, and meeting needs thanks to the many contributors who have provided support since the Foundation was chartered in 1979. In 2010-2011, the Foundation provided over $187,000 in scholarships to RCC’s students. These scholarships enabled students to get an education and make better lives for their families. In addition to scholarships, the Foundation provided over $300,000 to the College to support various programs and innovations. On behalf of the RCC Foundation Board of Directors, I would like to thank every donor who helps provide a margin of excellence for Randolph Community College. This Report to the Community recognizes donors who contributed during 2010-2011 and those who are part of our Lifetime Membership Clubs. Over the years, the Foundation’s assets have grown to over $8,000,000. What started as Dr. Larry Linker’s doctoral dissertation has turned into a legacy that continues to provide educational opportunities for thousands of students. Thank YOU for making this possible. Sincerely, Dr. Cynthia G. Schroder President, RCC Foundation Ann M. Hoover Vice President Daffie H. Matthews Treasurer Susan V.
