State Board to bestow highest honor at Day of Recognition luncheon

 

RALEIGH –The State Board of Community Colleges presents its most prestigious award, the I. E. Ready, at the Day of Recognition Awards Luncheon at noon on Friday, November 16, at the RBC Center.  The Board will also recognize the recipients of the North Carolina Community College Distinguished Partners for Excellence Award. The top instructor, staff member, and president from among the 58 community colleges will also be recognized by the Board. 

 

The day is also an opportunity to thank the community college and System Office employees who have retired during the previous year for their years of service to the System.  This year, 373 persons have retired and many of them will attend the luncheon. 

 

The Friday DOR Luncheon culminates two days of State Board meetings in the Caswell Building that include a briefing on the System’s Learn and Earn Online initiative during the Thursday noon Issues Luncheon.

 

Five new community college presidents, four of them women, will address the Board for the first time on Friday at 9:00 a.m. during the full State Board meeting.  The Board will be asked to approve a new president for Richmond Community College.

 

The Board will also learn the names of the three finalists they will consider to replace the retiring Martin Lancaster as System President. A final decision is expected next month.

 

Dr. Robert Keys, president of Rockingham Community College, will present a report from the Intercollegiate Athletics Task Force, which he chaired.  The group has worked for several months on this issue to determine what position, if any, the System should have on conforming the operation of community college athletic teams. There are presently 20 colleges with one or more athletic teams including basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, and golf.

 

Items of interest on the State Board agenda include consideration of:
