RALEIGH: The State Board of Community Colleges meets in regular session on Friday, November 15 at 9:00 AM in the Caswell Building. The full agenda follows.

On the agenda for approval is a System-wide budget reduction of $14.5 million to meet cuts mandated by Governor Easley. The Governor’s Efficiency Commission requires a permanent reduction of $1.2 million from the budgets of the 58 community colleges and the NC Center for Applied Textile Technology. The remainder of the cut is a reversion, not a permanent budget reduction.

The State Board will also pay tribute to several individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the North Carolina Community College System. The I.E. Ready Award, the highest honor the State Board bestows, will be presented at the annual Day of Recognition Awards Luncheon which immediately follows the State Board meeting. It will be held at the RBC Center (formerly ESA). The awards ceremony begins at 1:00.

The I.E. Ready recipients for 2002 are: Dr. H. Edwin Beam, a Cleveland County native who was the first president of Caldwell Community College; the late Meigs C. Golden, who served as a member of the State Board of Community Colleges; and J. Gregory Poole, Jr., a Raleigh businessman and former North Carolina Community Colleges Foundation Chair.

Four other individuals will receive special honors at the luncheon:

Dr. Anthony Zeiss, Central Piedmont Community College President, will be recognized as the NCCCS President of the Year. Wachovia endows this award.

Stephanie C. Hunt, an English instructor at Johnston Community College, will receive the Excellence in Teaching (EIT) Award, which is endowed by R. J. Reynolds.

Dr. Kathryn Baker Smith, Vice President for Educational Support Services at Guilford Technical Community College, will receive the System Staff Award, endowed by BB&T.

Sharon Wright-Watson is past president of the North Carolina Community College Comprehensive Student Government Association. She was selected by NCCCS President H. Martin Lancaster to receive the President’s Leadership Award.

The State Board will also recognize the four Excellence in Teaching finalists and the 2001-02 retirees from the 58 community colleges, the North Carolina Center for Applied Textile Technology, and the North Carolina Community College System Office.
