State Board of Community Colleges ready to consider bond projects
RALEIGH:
The State Board of Community Colleges will review and vote on the first round of bond projects at its March meeting which will be held on Thursday, March 15 in the Caswell Building."If these projects pass the Board’s review, this action will be a major step for the future," says North Carolina Community College System President H. Martin Lancaster. "An affirmative vote will give our colleges the green light to proceed with some critical projects that have been on hold for some time," he added.
The State Board will also review and vote on five Curriculum Program Applications from four colleges that reflect the wide variety of offerings within the system and demonstrate the colleges responding to economic and technical needs: Catawba Valley Community College (Hickory) – Radiography; Nash Community College (Nashville) – Emergency Management Preparedness Technology and Hotel and Restaurant Management; Guilford Technical Community College (Greensboro) – Construction Management Technology; and Isothermal Community College (Spindale) – Business Management/Electronic Commerce.
The Board will also take a first look at two programs brand new to the Community College System. Central Carolina Community College in Sanford proposes a Sustainable Agriculture program. This program will prepare students to enter the organic farming industry. Southwestern Community College in Sylva proposes a Cyber Crime Technology program. Students who graduate in this program will be able to enter the computer crime investigation field.
The State Board committees meet on Thursday morning and the entire State Board meets at 1:00 PM in the State Board Room. Many of the State Board members will also attend the NCCCS Artists’ Reception and Exhibit at 4:00 PM on Thursday.
