STATE BOARD OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES MARCH
MEETING SCHEDULED
New president, award ceremony and minority student
success story on agenda
RALEIGH: The State Board of Community Colleges meets on Friday, March 21, 2003 at 9:00 AM with a full agenda. In addition to the usual items, the Board will consider the approval of a new community college president, hear from some minority students who are on a path to success in a biomedical career, and witness an awards ceremony.
The Board will consider the approval of Dr. John Richard McKay as the second president of South Piedmont Community College. A native of Alabama, Dr. McKay is currently president of Morgan Community College in Ft. Morgan, Colorado. McKay will succeed Dr. Donald P. Altieri, who announced his retirement, effective June 30 of this year.
The Board will also hear a presentation about the North Carolina Transfer Assistance in the Biomedical Sciences (NC-TABS) program, a joint venture between the North Carolina Community College System and the University of North Carolina Office of the President. The primary goal of the NC-TABS, funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, is to increase the number of underrepresented minority community college students entering careers in biomedical research. NC-TABS provides, per academic year, up to 25 underrepresented minority community college students with the educational and biomedical research experiences that promote transition between associate and baccalaureate degrees.
Students are eligible to participate in the NC-TABS for a maximum of three years and only while actively pursuing an associate degree. Since the program's beginning in 1995, there have been 110 applicants of which 104 students were accepted and/or enrolled. There are presently 17 students enrolled in the program.
Three students will share their NC-TABS experience with the State Board. All three students are the first in their families to attend college and have strong family support to reach their individual goals.
Shanta McKinnnon received her bachelor’s degree from North Carolina Central University after transferring from Durham Technical Community College. She has been accepted into the doctoral degree program at North Carolina State University. Sherry Harrell transferred to East Carolina University from Roanoke-Chowan Community College and is expected to graduate in May of this year. In 2000, Sherry was the only community college student to present an abstract to the Office of Research on Minority Health. Christopher Tinsley, a wonderful role model for his five siblings, currently attends Fayetteville Technical Community College with an anticipated graduation date of May 2003. He will attend the University of North Carolina - Wilmington in the Fall of 2003.
The State Board of Community Colleges will take time out to recognize the excellent service provided by the Small Business Centers (SBC) at Central Piedmont Community College, Coastal Carolina Community College and Surry Community College. Each SBC has been selected as recipients of the Regional Award for Excellence. One of the three will receive the Statewide Award for Excellence on Friday. (This is a ceremony that was postponed from January.)
