Hispanic and Latino issues, Biotechnology and presenting special honors on the agenda for the State Board of Community Colleges
RALEIGH: A progress report on the Hispanic/Latino Initiative (HLI) will be presented to the State Board of Community Colleges this week. Helga Mattei, HLI Director, will update the Board on her activity so far. The Initiative, funded by the two-year grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, was created last year to develop policies and strategies to enhance the ability of the NC Community College System to serve the needs of North Carolina’s workforce. A specific goal of the Initiative is to increase the number of Hispanics enrolled in employment training programs. Mattei will give her report at the Issues Lunch on Thursday, November 18.
Several items related to the NCCCS BioNetwork are on the agenda for the full Board meeting on Friday, November 19. Among the items slated for approval is funding for BioNetwork Validation Academy. The academy is a partnership between BioNetwork, ISPE (the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering) and the Department of Commerce. The academy will be a major drawcard for new companies wishing to open pharmaceutical or biomanufacturing facilities in North Carolina, and for growing companies such as Novo Nordisk, which is planning a $100 million facility expansion.
The Board will attend the Day of Recognition luncheon at the RBC Center immediately after the State Board meeting. The Board will honor Thomas W. Lambeth, the former executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation and the late J. William Disher, former president of the NC Association of Community College Trustees and former chair of the Central Piedmont Community College Board of Trustees as I.E. Ready recipients. The I. E. Ready is the highest honor the Board presents to a supporter of North Carolina’s community colleges. The Board will also pay tribute the President, Instructor and Staff Person of the Year.
The State Board of Community Colleges, chaired by James Woody of Roxboro, is responsible for the policies and standards under which the institutions of the North Carolina Community College System operate. With 800,000 students, the system ranks as the nation's third largest.
The full agenda for the State Board meeting follows.
