Paralegal Scholarship Established
by Judy and Jim Allison
The Judith N. and James W. Allison Scholarship supports full-time students enrolled in
CPCC’s Paralegal Technology Program. The scholarship was established this year by CPCC
Foundation Board member Judy Allison and her husband, Jim, of the law firm Johnston
Allison & Hord. Awards are based on both academic achievement and financial need. Some
60 students graduate from the College’s Paralegal Program each year.
In explaining why they created the scholarship, Jim said: “Paralegals are critically important
to the successful operation of a law firm. CPCC provides a quality paralegal education pro-gram
and thoroughly prepares paralegals to succeed in their profession. Judy and I are
proud to sponsor a scholarship fund to support such an outstanding program.”
On her service and support of the College, Judy commented: “CPCC has a tremendous
impact on our community and serves a vital role in educating our citizens. I’m committed to
its mission and honored to serve on the CPCC Foundation’s Board.”
Powell Majors Honored
The R. Powell Majors Bookstore, relocated to the College’s Professional Development
Building on Central Campus, was dedicated on October 18, 2005. The Majors Bookstore
honors Mr. Majors and recognizes his support of Central Piedmont Community College,
his service as Executive Director of the CPCC Foundation 1971–1990, and his commitment
to education in Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
In addition, the Charlotte Rotary Club and the CPCC Foundation together launched a
Powell Majors Scholarship Endowment Fund in the spring of 2006 to acknowledge
Powell’s 100th birthday on December 12, 2006. Friends who would like to make a
contribution may send a gift to: Majors Scholarship, CPCC Foundation, PO Box 35009,
Charlotte, NC 28235 or call 704.330.6869.

Carl and Jeanne Regan Assist Montagnards
Montagnards or “Mountain People” refers to the name given to indigenous tribes of the
central highlands of Vietnam. They fought alongside U.S. Special Forces during the Vietnam
War, and many Montagnards have come to this country since the war’s end. Carl Regan, a
former Green Beret, and his wife, Jeanne, have established a Save the Montagnard
Scholarship Fund at CPCC and a number of other colleges. By doing so, they seek to repay
the Montagnards for their support of U. S. troops. The scholarship provides full tuition for
full-and part-time Montagnard students.
Commenting on their relationship with CPCC, Jeanne Regan said: “Thank you for the
outstanding job you are doing in assisting us in providing our Montagnard friends the greatest
gift of all–education.” CPCC is privileged to be of assistance; the “thank you” goes to the
Regans for their phenomenal concern and generosity.
Time Warner Cable Gift Supports Students and Services
In the spring of 2006, Time Warner Cable of Charlotte made a generous commitment to
provide services, equipment, and financial support to CPCC. In return for this commitment,
the student commons area of the Overcash Academic and Performing Arts Center will be
named for Time Warner Cable.
Time Warner President Mike Munley said, “We are proud to be investing not only in
Central Piedmont Community College, but in our future. By providing our technology to
the College, we are taking an active role in assisting and supporting tomorrow’s leaders.”

Gifts continued Crist Scholarship Created
In 2005, Suzanne L. Botts established the Crist Scholarship
Endowment in memory of her late husband, Jack Crist.
Annual earnings will provide tuition, books, and fees to
deserving students. To qualify, students must demonstrate
potential for success based on a record of academic
achievement, work experience, and/or community service.
Mrs. Botts said, “After working
with Central Piedmont on the
Queen’s Table project, I saw
what a fabulous community
college we have in our city. I just
believe in what CPCC is doing
and want to help students at the
College with their future.”

Active Multi-Year Pledges
The CPCC Foundation, Inc. gratefully acknowledges the following donors with active multi-year pledges:
CPCC Student Profie
Rebka Gada,
Physical Therapy Student
When Rebka Gada graduated from Independence High
School in 2005 she knew that she wanted to further her
education. She also knew she wanted to attend a school that
was convenient and close to home. That’s why she chose
CPCC. Today, she has experienced firsthand more than just
the benefit of convenience at CPCC.
“At CPCC, I was introduced to instructors and counselors
who truly care,” explains Rebka. “They helped me find the
perfect career path and introduced me to a wealth of
resources at the College.”
Rebka is pursuing an Associate’s degree in physical therapy
and plans to transfer to the University of North Carolina at
Charlotte. “The instructors and counselors at CPCC took
time for me and made me feel special. The quality of
instruction and the variety of courses at CPCC really can’t
be beat.”

CPCC Faculty Profile
Gilda Rubio-Festa,
CPCC Director of International Outreach
Since 1998, Gilda Rubio-Festa has served in various
capacities in the English as a Second Language (ESL)
program at CPCC. Currently, she serves as Director of
International Outreach and is instrumental in developing
strategic plans for increasing educational opportunities for
the rapidly growing international community. She develops
educational programming which recognizes and is sensitive
to the cultural and linguistic diversity in the Charlotte
region. Gilda has directed and developed ESL program
initiatives with a focus on workforce development and
distance learning that have been nationally recognized.
This year, Gilda was named the Southern regional winner
for the Faculty Member of the Year Award by the
Association of Community College Trustees. She was also
appointed to the Governor’s Advisory Council on
Hispanic/Latino Affairs.
Gilda has provided strong leadership in the College’s effort
to transition multicultural/multilingual students into the
College and the community. Some of the various projects
initiated by Gilda’s team include the following:
• Career Ladders program for English Language
Learners, which provides job training to enter the
Charlotte workforce. The step-by-step program prepares
multilingual learners to succeed in postsecondary educa-tion
and training that can lead to entry-level positions in
high-demand industries.
• Civic Engagement program, which offers students a
series of short multimedia workshops that provides them
with access to civic information, training opportunities,
and general cultural information.
• Partnership with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS)
–the College-to-Career program is a five-week career
exploration and skills preparation course that targets
Spanish-speaking CMS graduates who need extra support
before entering postsecondary education.
“We are extremely proud of Gilda Rubio-Festa and her
contributions to the College,” states Dr. Tony Zeiss,
President of Central Piedmont Community College. “Gilda
is a highly motivated and dedicated faculty member who is
extremely passionate about the work she does. As a result
of her innovative ideas and her passion for her work, the
ESL program at CPCC has become a national model.” Gilda Rubio-Festa

CPCC Loses Friend and Supporter
We mourn the passing of Edward “Ed” O’Herron, Jr. He and his wife, Margaret “Dosty” O’Herron, established the first
Faculty Endowment at CPCC in 1993 to honor excellence in teaching.
A distinguished North Carolina State legislator during the 1950s, Mr. O’Herron introduced the first legislation to found
North Carolina community colleges.
Mr. O’Herron was the father of Patty Norman, co-chair of the College’s Creating Opportunities campaign, and father-in-law
of campaign co-chair and Foundation Board President Tommy Norman. Edward “Ed” O’Herron, Jr.
Memorial Gifts Honor Gifts
Memorial and honor gifts allow donors to remember family and friends important to us.
Some CPCC friends make a provision in their will for gifts to be made to the College at
their death, or their families make the request. Others receive gifts in their honor while
they are living–for their birthdays, anniversaries or even Christmas.
