RALEIGH: The State Board of Community Colleges makes one of its mandated visits to a community college campus next week to conduct its yearly retreat and regular October meeting. College of The Albemarle (COA) hosts the State Board on its Edenton campus.

College of The Albemarle has the largest geographical service area in the NCCCS and it includes seven counties in northeastern North Carolina: Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Pasquotank, and Perquimans. To meet the diverse needs of such a large geographic region, there are several campus locations in addition to the 60-acre main campus in Elizabeth City, which opened in 1961. There are campuses in Dare County and Chowan County. COA also has a Learning Center at Edgewood in Elizabeth City.

Ann-Marie Knighton, Edenton Town Manager, is a member of the State Board. "I’m so pleased to have the Board come to our part of the state to see first-hand the impact COA has on this area. The college is an invaluable resource and an agent for growth," said Knighton.

The focus of the retreat, which takes place on October 16 and 17, is to take a hard look at the role the State Board plays in the growth and development of the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS). The goal is to develop new strategies to enhance that role and thereby fortify the NCCCS.

State Board Chair James J. Woody says the challenges of the last few years have created the need to reassess the Board’s role. "We need to step back and take a hard look at the significance of what we do and evaluate our effectiveness," said Woody.

The State Board committee meetings begin at 2:00 PM on Thursday, October 17 and the full Board meets at 9:00 AM on Friday, October 18.

Agenda items include a first look at the 2003-05 Expansion Budget for the NCCCS.
