A Year of Growth
2007-2008 Annual Report
America is facing the greatest labor and skills shortage in its history. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts
a shortage of more than 10 million workers by 2011. Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) plays a vital role in
addressing this labor shortage by providing training for workers that’s relevant for the jobs of today and tomorrow.
Since 1963, CPCC has been offering programs to meet the demands of the workforce. Today, I am proud to say that CPCC
offers more than 100 degree, diploma, and certification programs; customized corporate training; market-focused continuing
education; and special-interest classes designed to meet the workforce needs of this community. We serve more than 70,000
individuals on our six campuses across the county, and our online classes are growing every year.
Our College is growing at a tremendous rate. Over the past year, CPCC class registrations were up nearly 12 percent! This
fall, the College grew an additional 6 percent and the number of students in online courses increased nearly 35 percent. Our
enrollment growth has outpaced many community colleges across the state, and this growth is testimony to our success.
But student enrollment isn’t the only area where we’re experiencing growth. CPCC continues to be on the cutting-edge
providing new programs and training to serve the needs of our business community. Our goal is to respond to the local,
regional, and global trends in the job market. With that in mind, CPCC began a new curriculum certificate and seminar series
in motorsports this fall. In the spring, we’ll offer our new Motorsports Institute. Other innovative programs include the
Non-Destructive Examination program, the Center for Sustainability, the Lifelong Learning Institute, and much more.
In this annual report, you’ll have a glimpse of the valuable offerings at CPCC and the tremendous impact we have on this
community. I hope you���ll take time to read this report and find out why CPCC is this area’s premier career college.
Sincerely,
P. Anthony Zeiss, Ed.D.

Cindy Castano, award-winning documentary producer, successful business owner, president
of Alpha Management Group, and founder of the 501c3 non-profit Frontline Foundation,
knows the impact giving back can have not just locally, but internationally. As a result of
Castano’s success and her drive to make a difference for those without a voice, she received the
Richard H. Hagemeyer Educational Advancement Award at CPCC’s graduation ceremonies
on May 13 at the 2008 commencement exercises.
The Hagemeyer Award is named for Dr. Richard H. Hagemeyer, CPCC’s founding president
and president emeritus. The award is presented to a current or former CPCC student who
demonstrates significant benefit from studies at CPCC by:
• Demonstrating community involvement and social responsibility
• Acquiring scholastic and learning skills that have led to continued personal and
	 educational growth
• Improving his or her economic status and potential for growth
• Exemplifying positive and significant life changes
Castano graduated from CPCC in 1984 in the paralegal program. In nearly 25 years, she has
truly changed the world as a result of her passion to free slaves and deliver humanitarian aid
to remote regions of Sudan. Earlier in her professional career, Castano experienced success
working in the investment/financial markets of the United States, London, England, and
Geneva, Switzerland, specializing in high value, multi-million dollar accounts.
But she credits a trip to South Africa as a defining moment in her life and a later encounter
with the work of Christian Solidarity International caused her to change course. She
transitioned into documentary filmmaking, and it was only after several years making wildlife
films for National Geographic that the opportunity opened to access Sudan’s underworld of
slavery and genocide with Dr. John Eibner of Christian Solidarity International.
“I placed myself behind the lens of a camera and began my documentary feature My Slave,
My Infidel to bring this human rights issue to the public eye,” states Castano. Now an expert
on slavery and genocide in Sudan, Castano has traveled to the area multiple times and is well
versed on the history, politics, and social structure. In addition to creating the eye-opening
documentary, she created Frontline Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit that aids those in need
worldwide by creating new projects and supports medical, humanitarian, and human rights
efforts by way of organizing projects, funding existing projects, and advocacy. She also serves
as an international public speaker on these issues.
Upon returning to the United States in 1999, Castano founded Alpha Management Group
(AMG), a business consulting and documentary filmmaking business. AMG has served high profile
organizations such as National Geographic Television and Film, National Geographic Magazine,
China Central Television, the South African Embassy, Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, Bank of
America, Clear Channel Entertainment, The Speed Channel, and many others.
In 2003, Stalking Leopards, a documentary film Castano co-produced with Kim Wolhuter of
South Africa, received a National Emmy Award in News and Documentary for music and
sound. In 2006, a 2-hour special event she co-produced with Kim Wolhuter entitled Predators
at War received a National Emmy Award in News and Documentary for outstanding science,
technology, and nature programming.
“CPCC helped me understand the importance of furthering my education and giving back to
the community,” states Castano. “I am forever grateful to CPCC for helping me get off to a
great start.”
“It is an honor for CPCC to be able to recognize Cindy Castano with the Richard H.
Hagemeyer Educational Achievement Award,” states Dr. Tony Zeiss, president of Central
Piedmont Community College. “Cindy serves as an outstanding role model and international
humanitarian and is a perfect example of what the Hagemeyer Award is all about.”
Past recipients of the award include Elaine Lyerly, Gary Mims, Ronald Caldwell, Sheriff Jim
Pendegraph, Dr. Margaret Stanley Hagan, Paul Griffin, James White, Tony Weatherford,
Chief Luther Fincher, Dr. Kenny Welch, Frances Queen, Richard Zollinger, Stanley Law,
and others.

CPCC receives funds to support cyber-security, computer forensics, and
integrated emergency response training
CPCC received $1,013,593 in federal funding to support computer forensics, cyber-security efforts, and integrated
emergency response training efforts. The money was allocated in the 2008 federal omnibus spending bill signed by
President Bush.
The following is a summary of the awards:
American Academy of Applied Forensics – $822,000 from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ)
(NIJ Byrne Program for $352,000 and NIJ COPS Program for $470,000)
Cyber-crime accounts for billions of dollars in economic losses and an incalculable toll on individual victims,
particularly minors. This Federal appropriation will allow CPCC to develop training courses and curriculum in
cyber-security (prevention) and computer forensics (investigation) for the region’s law enforcement and business
sector. This Federal investment will expand the offerings available through CPCC’s American Academy for Applied
Forensics.
Center for Integrated Emergency Response Training (CIERT) – $191,593 from the Department of Education Fund
for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education.
The Charlotte region’s emergency responders and public health workers serve more than 2 million citizens in the
most densely populated region of the Carolinas. These emergency response professionals must be prepared to
respond to complex crisis events that require a high level of collaboration.
This Federal appropriation will allow CPCC to develop training exercises and curriculum for public health workers
and emergency responders. The training will utilize state-of-the-art, computer-based simulations of real-world crisis
events that engage participants from across all emergency response professions.
Recently, the 16-county Charlotte region has made great improvements in its emergency response preparedness and
training, still most training occurs independently and without coordination and tracking. The establishment of the
CIERT will create a regional model that delivers integrated emergency responder training.
The North Carolina Congressional members including Senator Richard Burr, Senator Elizabeth Dole, Representative
Robin Hayes, Representative Sue Myrick, and Representative Melvin Watt played a critical role in securing these
appropriations.
“The U.S. Congress, through its generous appropriation, and the leaders of CPCC, are committed to supporting law
enforcement and the pursuit of justice as well as integrated emergency response training,” states Dr. Tony Zeiss, president
of CPCC. “CPCC has become a leader in forensic training, cybercrime, and emergency response training. These funds will
allow us to take our training opportunities to the next level.”
When Jeannine Sargent enrolled in a course on writing a
business plan at CPCC’s Institute for Entrepreneurship, she
had no idea it would lead to winning a national competition
and awarding her money to start her business. But that’s exactly
what happened to Jeannine, who won $50,000 in seed money
in the 2007 “Make Your Dreams Come True with Mirassou”
contest. California-based Mirassou Winery created the award
as part of its support for women-owned businesses.
Sargent’s winning business idea, The Red Bow, is a health club
for women that will offer a holistic approach. “When I learned
that almost one woman dies every minute from cardio vascular
disease and that most of those deaths can be prevented, I
knew I wanted to help women change their lifestyle to enhance
health and longevity,” Sargent says. Her business model
includes what she calls her “3E Strategy.”
“We believe in Evaluate, Educate, and Empower,” she
explains. “In addition to the aerobic and strength building
activities of other health clubs, The Red Bow will also offer
health screenings, health classes, and even meditation and
aromatherapy. We’ll focus on the mind, body, and spirit.”
 
Sargent is a strong advocate of community college education
and says she didn’t hesitate to enroll in the Institute for
Entrepreneurship’s. New Ventures Entrepreneurship Certificate
Program.
“I’ve been a lifelong student of CPCC,” she explains. “Even
though I have an MBA, I’ve been taking additional classes
at CPCC since the early 80s, and I know the quality of the
programs this College offers.”

CPCC presented the College’s Distinguished Service Award to Rick and Linda Hendrick on Tuesday, May 13 at the College’s
2008 commencement exercises. This award is annually presented by CPCC to an individual who has provided strong support to
the institution over the past year.
The Hendrick family has long been known for many common threads in this community, which include faith, family, friends and
philanthropy. CPCC has had the good fortune of being one of the recipients of this family’s generosity and support.
Over the years, Rick Hendrick’s intelligence, energy, determination, and business acumen have made him an enormous success in
the automobile and motorsports industries. Under his guidance, Hendrick Automotive Group and Hendrick Motorsports have
become leaders in their respective fields. As the second-largest privately owned dealership group in the U.S., Hendrick Automotive
has become the standard by which all others are measured.
The Hendrick family also leads the way in giving back to this community. In May of 2007, CPCC dedicated the new Joe
Hendrick Center for Automotive Technology at the Levine Campus in Matthews. As a result of the generosity of Rick and
Linda Hendrick, this new 35,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility serves as headquarters to many of the College’s training and
re-training programs in automotive technology. The new facility features six classrooms and six labs with the latest in equipment
and technology. Thanks to their generosity and support, the Joe Hendrick Center for Automotive Technology serves technicians
who are seeking updated technical skills through contract training and corporate and continuing education. The program also
provides first class training for those who aspire to become technicians.
In addition to this outstanding facility, Rick and Linda Hendrick have established the Hendrick Awards program, a technical
co-op program that attracts and trains deserving CPCC students. This program is a win-win opportunity for CPCC and Hendrick
Automotive Group by providing hands-on training for our students and creating a pipeline of employees for Hendrick. Other
support from the Hendrick family includes generous upgrades to the interior and exterior of the Joe Hendrick Center adding to
the overall Levine Campus learning atmosphere as well as state-of-the-art equipment that provides “unrivaled opportunities” to
CPCC students.
“Rick and Linda Hendrick are strong supporters of our institution and the work we do,” states Dr. Tony Zeiss, president
of Central Piedmont Community College. “CPCC is fortunate that they selected our institution as their focus in advancing
automotive technician training in this region.”
Rick and Linda Hendrick honored for generous support to the College

Deven Carter, a student in the Transfer Program at CPCC,
understands the importance of a good education and a strong
work ethic. After receiving his GED at CPCC, Deven knew
he wanted to continue his education and pursue his passion in
business administration. In addition to enrolling in the transfer
program at CPCC, Deven became involved in Students in Free
Enterprise (SIFE) to help him get the real-world, hands-on
experience he needed.
After graduating from CPCC, Deven plans to transfer to either
UNC-Chapel Hill or Howard University to earn a degree
in business administration. He also plans to attend Harvard
University to enter their joint program for MBA and Juris
Doctorate (JD). Ultimately, Deven plans to open a Children’s
Center in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York and provide
career counseling and support for disadvantaged youth.
According to Deven, “CPCC is helping me reach my goal.
With all of the degree and certificate programs offered at
CPCC, there’s something for everyone here. You can get a great
education for a fraction of the cost of a four-year college or
university.”
CPCC produces leaders every day

CPCC retirees re-connect
On November 7, 2007, CPCC hosted its first meeting of the newly-formed CPCC Retiree Association in the College’s Culinary
School on its Central Campus in Charlotte.
Dr. David Hunter, retired Dean, Arts and Sciences, was the convener. Dr. Tom Griffin, retired Dean, Educational Resources,
outlined the purpose of the Association: to socialize with each other, to promote volunteer activities at the College, to keep
retirees up-to-date on College events and certain national and state information of interest, and to encourage continuing
contact and support between CPCC and CPCC retirees.
Dr. David Hunter said, “We expect many others will join the Association as retirees learn about the group and our purpose. We
do not claim to have arrived, it will take time; but we are excited about the opportunity to bring the CPCC family together in an
organized and informative way.”
The original members of the Retiree Association Steering Committee were introduced: Dr. David L. Hunter, Dr. Lois W.
Dixon, Mr. Robert L. Gossett, Dr. Thomas E. Griffin, Ms. Dora T. Johnson, Ms. Molly F. Savage, and Ms. Brenda W. Lea of the
CPCC Foundation.
A Retiree Association Office is located on CPCC’s Central Campus. Please call 704.330.6241 for more information or contact
david.hunter@cpcc.edu.
Success comes in threes for the Nash family. These triplets
had a passion for the dental assisting field and they pursued
their education at CPCC. The College afforded them the
opportunity to obtain a quality education at a reasonable price
while remaining close to home.
According to Ashley Nash, ���The Dental Assisting Program at
CPCC offered me more than I ever expected. The instructors
and staff were always willing to help and they prepared us to
be successful in the profession. I would recommend the CPCC
Dental Assisting Program to anyone considering a career in
this field.”

Dear Friends:
On behalf of the Central Piedmont Community College Foundation, please accept sincere thanks for your generous
support. In the 2007–08 fiscal year, the Foundation was the recipient of over 1,400 gifts totaling more than $4.28 million.
Please know that your gifts go directly to extending the College’s mission of providing quality educational and career
training opportunities to citizens of our region. In the past year, over 70,000 individuals took advantage of the courses,
programs, and services offered by Central Piedmont.
In these challenging times, the importance of Central Piedmont to our community continues to grow. As enrollment and
the need for the College’s financially-accessible college credit and workforce preparation courses increase, so too does
the need for your support. Significantly, thanks to the generosity of donors, the Foundation was able to provide over
$850,000 in scholarships to needy students. A gift to Central Piedmont truly transforms lives. Your support is helping
individuals obtain the education and training which will equip them to embark on productive careers and to better
provide for their families. I can think of no better purpose for philanthropy.
Again, many thanks for what you have done for the College and its students and for what you will do in the future.
Sincerely,
Thomas E. Norman
President, Board of Directors

generous support.”
The Levine Foundation
Leon and Sandra Levine–their gift changing lives
On April 17, 2008, Amy Levine and Fred Simmons of the
Levine Foundation joined College President Tony Zeiss
and CPCC Foundation staff for lunch and a report on
the Levine Scholarship Endowment. Dr. Zeiss expressed
his gratitude to the Levine Foundation, Leon and Sandra
Levine, for choosing to invest in the lives of students at
CPCC saying, “What an incredible gift this is, and will
continue to be, for the citizens of Charlotte-Mecklenburg.”
This remarkable gift in 2002 is still the largest gift in the
history of the College and is a significant source of financial
assistance for CPCC students. More than 500 Levine
Scholarships have been awarded. The College’s Levine
Campus in Matthews is named in honor of Leon and
Sandra Levine in gratitude for this gift.
Levine Scholars attending the lunch told what the scholarship
meant to them. For the single parent struggling to feed a
family to the first-generation college student to many more with
little hope of pursuing their dreams of a college education,
the Levine Foundation has opened the doors to success.
On November 28, 2007, the AT&T Foundation announced it was
awarding $54,000 to support three organizations in Charlotte.
Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) received an
$18,950 grant for the expansion of educational opportunities
for disabled students. Specifically, the grant was to provide
assistive-technology equipment to meet the growing needs at
CPCC’s six campuses throughout the Mecklenburg County area.
The some 600 disabled students CPCC educates each year will
benefit from this grant.
“CPCC is extremely grateful for this generous gift from the
AT&T Foundation,” said Dr. Tony Zeiss, president of the
College. “It will allow us to expand our services to students
with visual impairments by enhancing our assistive-technology
equipment. At CPCC, we seek to provide top-quality education
and services to students with special needs, and this gift will
support us in our efforts.”

CPCC launches new motorsports
technology initiative
On Thursday, December 13, 2007, various leaders in
the motorsports industry gathered at Central Piedmont
Community College’s North Campus in Huntersville,
NC to learn more about new motorsports training
opportunities at the College.
Mr. Andy Papathoanassiou, CEO, North Carolina
Motorsports Association, provided remarks about the value
of CPCC’s Motorsports Program to the industry. The
College’s president, Dr. Tony Zeiss; CPCC’s Transportation
Systems Technologies director, Ms. Laurie Walker; and
Mr. David Bowen, CPCC’s Motorsports coordinator, also
shared information on the new training efforts.
Following the presentations, guests took tours of the new
state-of-the-art facility.

Prim-Cole Center named for
alumna/instructor’s amazing legacy
Renée Prim was only 21 years old when an accident paralyzed
her right arm and both legs. “They (the doctors) gave me
five years to live,” she recalls. But Ms. Prim rallied, and she
reconstructed her life. CPCC was her inspiration. “The
College was with me virtually every step of the way,” Ms.
Prim said, “either as a place for more education or as an
employer.”
Now, Renée Prim and her husband David Cole are helping
others with physical challenges. Ms. Prim has donated her
family’s nearly 22-acre farm near Shelby, NC to CPCC. She
said, “I can’t take care of this farm; and if I give it to CPCC,
it will be a win-win for everyone.” According to Brenda
Lea, executive director of development with the CPCC
Foundation, the farm will be sold, and the monies from the
sale used to establish a gift annuity to benefit the couple
during their lifetime. At their passing, the principal and
growth will be used to help students with special needs at the
College.
Before the accident, Ms. Prim had earned a CPCC degree
in administrative office technology. She continued at CPCC,
and earned three other degrees. She received a bachelor’s
degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte
and a master’s degree in business administration from the
University of Phoenix. Before finishing all of this, CPCC
hired Ms. Prim to work in the instructional labs. “It was
so motivating,” said Ms. Prim. “I am happy to be able to
give back to the College.” Ms. Prim retired in 2002 after 27
years with the College. Her husband worked as a part-time
instructor for 19 years.
On March 14, 2008, CPCC hosted a luncheon to honor
the generous couple and to announce the establishment
of the Prim-Cole Center for Information Technology on
CPCC’s Central Campus. “Renée Prim is truly an amazing
individual,” stated Dr. Tony Zeiss, president of CPCC.
“She has served as an inspiration to many at the College.
 
We’re excited to be able to dedicate the Prim-Cole Center
in recognition of the tremendous example Renée and her
husband have shared with this institution.”
Famed star Larry Hagman hosts
benefit at CPCC’s Halton Theater
Larry Hagman, television icon and star of Dallas and
I Dream of Jeannie, served as master of ceremonies for
“Heart,” a benefit held on May 15 at the Halton Theater on
Central Piedmont Community College’s Central Campus
in Charlotte. Proceeds from the event provided $75,000 in
performing arts scholarships at CPCC and a similar amount
for The Harvest Center in Charlotte. Mr. Hagman and his
wife Maj donated their Ferrari to be raffled at the event
along with other items.
The event was organized by The Avenir Foundation, which
supports educational programs and outreach ministries that
empower individuals and nonprofit organizations. Event steering
committee chairs were Charlotte business leaders Mark
Erwin and Frank Martin and CPCC President Tony Zeiss.
CPCC offers a nationally recognized performing arts
program with associate in fine arts degrees (AFA) in art,
dance, music and music education. Each year, performing
arts students at the College produce more than six theatre
and opera performances in its beautiful Dale F. Halton
Theater. In addition, CPCC produces a Summer Theatre
program, which includes five productions in 10 weeks at
the College. Graduates of the Performing Arts Program at
CPCC have become successful composers, music teachers,
and performed on Broadway.
The Dale F. Halton Theater was named the 2006 “Best
Concert Venue” in Creative Loafing’s Best of Charlotte and
the 2007 “Best Seat in the House” in Charlotte Magazine’s
Best of the Best Awards. The theater provides CPCC artists
and audiences with a remarkable performance venue, as fine
as any in the region.

College loses dear friends and strong supporters
CPCC lost a great friend and dedicated College servant with the passing of R. Powell Majors on November 29, 2007.
About 3 ½ months later, his wife, Dot, also passed away. Mr. Majors was nearly 101 years old and Mrs. Majors was 98.
They had been married 74 years and had two children, Dr. Robert P. Majors, Jr. and Ms. Nancy Majors Hodges.
Mr. Majors spent much of his long life supporting and advancing CPCC. He served as the first executive director of the
CPCC Foundation from 1971 until 1990. Under his leadership, the foundation’s endowment grew from $3,000 to almost
$2.5 million. After his retirement, Mr. Majors continued to help the College as a volunteer fundraiser and as an avid
supporter himself.
Says Dr. Kevin McCarthy, associate vice president for institutional advancement, “Powell Majors laid the groundwork
for all that followed. His considerable efforts and commitment built the CPCC Foundation into a viable, sound entity. We
continue to be grateful for all he made possible. The service he provided to the College is truly remarkable. He is missed by
his many friends at CPCC.”
When Mr. Majors retired in 1990, the Majors Bookstore on CPCC’s Central Campus in Charlotte was named in his
honor. It was rededicated in 2005 when the bookstore moved to the College’s new Professional Development Building.
In December 2006, the Majors Scholarship for needy students was announced when CPCC threw a 100th birthday
luncheon for Mr. Majors. Contributions from Mr. Majors’ fellow rotarians at Charlotte Rotary and other friends totaled
$115,312; and gifts are still being accepted. Memorials can be made to: CPCC Foundation, Majors Scholarship, P.O. Box
35009, Charlotte, NC 28235.
CPCC is fortunate to have had Mr. Majors’ longtime friendship and support.
Powell and Dot Majors were married 74 years
During Powell Majors’ tenure at CPCC, he started a “Car Donation Program.” At his
passing, family members donated his 1998 Eighty-Eight Royale Oldsmobile.
Pictured l. to r. are grandsons Andrew (Andy) Majors and Tom Hodges; Dr. Kevin

holds Mr. Majors’ keys. He was a volunteer for many years in the College’s ABLE
Program (Adult Basic Literacy Education).

Benefactors honored for A New Seat in Town
Thirty benefactors who have named a seat in the Dale F. Halton Theater at CPCC were recognized at a Sunday brunch
on March 30, 2008.
The Halton Theater is a state-of-the-art facility that serves as home to the College’s performing arts productions and
allows the College to host national and international touring companies and productions for the enjoyment of the
Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. The size and quality of the theater have represented an important addition to the
cultural life of the area.
As a seat benefactor, the name of a donor or a friend or relative is permanently and prominently recognized on a plaque
in the Halton Theater. The proceeds from seat benefactors assure the ongoing quality of the facility and its artistic
programming.
In addition, at the time of donation, each seat benefactor is recognized in the playbills and programs distributed at
performances in the theater.
In addressing the donors at the brunch, College President Tony Zeiss said, “We appreciate you joining us as a seat
benefactor in Charlotte’s newest cultural resource. In so doing, you have generously endorsed the importance of the
College and arts to our community.”
For more information on A New Seat in Town, please contact the CPCC Foundation at 704.330.6869.

Fonville Endowed Scholarship
established at CPCC
The Charles L. & Doris M. Fonville Foundation has
established the Fonville Endowed Scholarship at Central
Piedmont Community College.
The Fonville Scholarship was established in March 2008 as
a permanent endowment to provide assistance to students
at CPCC. The scholarship is for students with financial need
who are studying on a full-time basis at the College.
Mr. Fonville, president of Fonville and Company, is a
member of the CPCC Foundation Board of Directors. In
making this contribution, he said, “My philosophy is to
give people a hand up . . . I want to help needy, deserving
individuals attend CPCC.”
A total of 1,640 students at CPCC received scholarships in
the 2007– 2008 academic year. Scholarships continue to be
among the College’s greatest need.

Dedication of the Hall Professional Development Building
On January 31, 2008, the College dedicated the Hall Professional Development Building in recognition of the generous
support of Charlotte entrepreneur Thomas J. Hall, president of The Hall Group. Mr. Hall is a member of the CPCC
Foundation Board of Directors. At Mr. Hall’s request, it was a modest celebration attended by family, close friends and
College leaders.
A significant portion of Mr. Hall’s support will be utilized for programs and scholarships related to entrepreneurialism.
College President Tony Zeiss said, “Your gift will provide educational opportunities for deserving individuals for years
to come. Importantly, these will be individuals who share your entrepreneurial spirit and who will go on to benefit our
community by starting their own businesses. This is indeed a wonderful gift and a wonderful legacy.”
The Hall Professional Development Building is located on the College’s Central Campus near uptown Charlotte and is
used for CPCC staff development and business training. It also houses the College’s Institute for Entrepreneurship.

CPCC dedicates the Greater
Charlotte Automobile Dealers
Association Shop Levine Campus
On May 22, 2008, Central Piedmont Community
College dedicated the Greater Charlotte Automobile
Dealers Association Shop in the Joe Hendrick Center
for Automotive Technology at the Levine Campus in
Matthews. The dedication recognized the Automobile
Dealers Association’s generous gift to support CPCC’s
automotive technology programs.
During the event, Macon Griffin, president of the
Greater Charlotte Automobile Dealers Association,
made remarks and applauded CPCC’s state-of-the-art
automotive training facility and quality instruction.
Additional remarks were made by CPCC President
Tony Zeiss; Chairman of the CPCC Board of Trustees
Ralph Pitts; and Laurie Walker, director of CPCC’s
Transport Systems Technology Division.
The automotive labs at the Joe Hendrick Center for
Automotive Technology are used by the College’s
BMW, Toyota, and General Motors training programs
as well as for continuing education, safety inspection
and emissions classes. More than 600 students received
training last year. CPCC greatly appreciates the
Greater Charlotte Automobile Dealers Association’s
support.

Planned Giving gets 100 percent
boost
When William M. Claytor, chairman of the Planned
Giving Committee of the CPCC Foundation Board of
Directors, issued a recent challenge to his newly-formed
committee of eight members, little did he know the
generosity of his group. Bill said, “The mission of our
committee is to encourage friends of the College to include
CPCC in their will or to make some kind of planned gift
to the College; I would like for each of us to be the first to
make this commitment.”
The CPCC Foundation describes a planned gift as a gift
for any purpose, deferred or outright, that requires a donor
to consider his/her financial situation and/or estate plan
along with philanthropic intent.
All eight committee members rose to the challenge. Gift
commitments exceeded $l,000,000 and included bequests,
life insurance, an IRA transfer and designations of
memorial gifts to CPCC at a donor’s death. One donor,
who prefers not to be named, says, “My gift of life
insurance allows me to give to a cause I am passionate
about without jeopardizing my family’s inheritance. It’s a
great way to give!”
If you would like information on CPCC’s Planned Giving
Program, please call 704.330.6869. Planned Giving
Committee members are: William M. (Bill) Claytor,
chairman; Madelyn Caple, Gary LaBrosse, George
MacBain, Alisa McDonald, Kenneth (Ken) Samuelson,
Edwin (Ed) Spears and James (Jim) Worrell.
We appreciate everyone’s support.

College honors Legacy Society
members
Fifty-eight inductees representing the inaugural class of
the CPCC Legacy Society were recognized on January 31,
2008. In their honor, College leaders, trustees, and CPCC
Foundation Board members gathered for a dinner on the
stage of the College’s Halton Theater in the Overcash
Center.
“We are humbled by your commitment, and we are proud
this evening to host CPCC’s first Legacy Society dinner to
express our sincere gratitude for your support,” said College
President Tony Zeiss, the evening’s host.
Attendees enjoyed music from the College’s production of
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as well as
from recent campus operas. Female inductees received a
scarf featuring the Legacy Society’s recently adopted logo,
and male inductees received neckties bearing the logo.
The Legacy Society recognizes those who have made
planned gifts to the College. This means members have
named CPCC as a beneficiary of a will, life insurance policy,
trust, gift annuity, or individual retirement account. Or they
may have given real property or named the College as a
recipient of memorial gifts. Brenda Lea, executive director
of development, says, “Planned gifts are often thought of
as deferred gifts, but some are current and are beneficial to
donors in their financial and estate planning. It’s a win-win.”
To learn more about planned giving and the Legacy Society,
call Ms. Lea at 704.330.6869 or email brenda.lea@cpcc.edu.

Memorial gifts
Memorial and Honor gifts
Memorial and honor gifts allow donors a special way to remember family and friends. Some CPCC donors make a provision
for gifts to be made to the College at their passing, or their families make the request. Other donors make gifts of appreciation
in honor of someone who has made a difference in their lives, for a birthday, anniversary, Christmas, or other special occasion.
Honor and memorial gifts are a thoughtful way to give.

Mrs. Rosemary Wall and Dr. Bryan Wall celebrate their birthdays each December by
having a party in their home, and guests bring gifts for the Scott Brown Scholarship Fund
at CPCC. Helping other students is a thoughtful remembrance of Scott, a family friend,

Honor gifts
Christa Overcash is a steadfast friend and generous benefactor
of the College. Her family’s name graces facilities and programs.
This year, Mrs. Overcash generously gave the necessary funds
for a stage lift in the Dale F. Halton Theater in the Christa
and Reece A. Overcash Academic and Performing Arts
Center. She also became a Puccini Society member of Central
Piedmont’s Opera Theatre Program, which provides unique,
high-quality training opportunities for future generations of
opera performers and theater professionals.
“CPCC would not be where it is today without Christa
Overcash,” College President Tony Zeiss says. “With the
naming of the Overcash Center, Christa put CPCC on the
map. People notice the collegiate look of the campus now.
And, this building serves as home to the Halton Theater that
seats 1,020 people, to the Allen and Barbara Tate Hall, to the
Time Warner Student Commons area, and to many other
student services.”
Dr. Zeiss went on to say the Christa A. Overcash Nursing
Program is also tremendously important at CPCC. In
cooperation with Charlotte’s hospitals, CPCC trains more
than 50 nurses each year; and in view of a national nursing
shortage, is being asked to expand the nursing program. The
Overcash Nursing Program is recognized for its high quality
instruction and passing rate on licensing examinations.
Mrs. Overcash also serves as a member of the CPCC
Foundation Board of Directors. Tommy Norman, president
of the Foundation, says, “We can never thank Mrs. Overcash
enough for her support of the College. Central Piedmont is a
much better place because she’s our friend.”
CPCC a much better school
because of Overcash family

Central High rededication and
multi-class reunion
Alumni celebrate successful campaign and
renovated facility
Central High School, located on Central Piedmont
Community College’s Central Campus, holds a great
deal of history and memories for generations of alumni.
To preserve the school’s rich history, to support recent
renovations to the Central High School facility, and
to provide scholarships for needy students at CPCC,
some 1,000 alumni have joined together in a fundraising
campaign that has generated $400,000 to date.
On Sunday, September 30, 2007, CPCC hosted a multi-class
reunion and rededication of Central High School
with a renovated building façade similar to its original
design. Alumni from the classes of 1923 to 1959 came to
join in this historic celebration.
“Central High School and CPCC share a rich history
and legacy of academic excellence,” states Dr. Tony Zeiss,
president of CPCC. “We are extremely grateful for the
generous contributions provided to the College by Central
High alumni and friends. This gift will have a lasting
impact on our institution and our students. Many students
will realize their dream of attending college at CPCC
because Central High alumni gave back to honor the
education they received at Central High.”
