State Board of Community Colleges goes on the road to Statesville

Last meeting for Martin Lancaster, retiring System President

 

RALEIGH – The State Board of Community Colleges meets at Mitchell Community College in Statesville next week.  Dr. Doug Eason, college president, and his staff will welcome the Board, as will Chet Middlesworth, a State Board member from Statesville.  The two-day meeting kicks off with a tour of the campus that begins at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday.

 

The Issues Luncheon features a presentation from Dr. Eason about Mitchell CC, which has the longest history of any institution within the NC Community College System.  Chartered in the 1850s as a Presbyterian college for women, Mitchell became a public community college in 1973.  Also, Kennon Briggs will present additional information to the Board regarding a proposed relocation of the System Office.  Committee meetings follow on Thursday afternoon.

 

This is the last meeting that System President H. Martin Lancaster, who retires at the send of the month, will attend. The Board will make a special presentation to Lancaster during the meeting.

 

On Friday, the Board will consider an allocation of funds for the North Carolina Motorcycle Safety Education Program and a request for approval to seek Advance Planning Funds for the relocation of the System Office.

 

The complete agenda follows.
