Raleigh: Exemplary service provided by community colleges, the approval of a new community college president, and praise for a former member are items on the State Board of Community Colleges August agenda.

The Issues Session at noon on Thursday, August 14 will focus on a report on the Performance Measures and Standards for the North Carolina Community College System. Keith Brown, Associate Vice President, Planning and Research at the System Office, will present a report that documents each community college’s performance on a set of standards developed by the System to meet accountability requirements of the General Assembly. The report shows that the performance of the 58 community colleges is quite impressive.

The SBCC will consider the appointment of a new president for Wilson Technical Community College. If approved, Dr. C. H. "Rusty" Stephens will become the fourth president of Wilson Tech following the retirement of Dr. Frank L. Eagles, who has served as WTCC president for 21 years. Dr. Stephens is currently the Vice President of Instruction at Harford Community College in Bel Air, MD.

The State Board will praise Peter D. Hans, who served on the SBCC since 1997. Hans’ term ended on June 30 and he now serves on the University of North Carolina Board of Governors. A resolution of appreciation will be presented to him.

Three new members will take the oath of office: James W. Daniels, a businessman from Asheville; The Honorable Estell Carter Lee, former NC Commerce Secretary (1991-1993) and retired Wilmington businesswoman; and Dr. Linwood Warren Powell, a retired educator and former Interim President of Fayetteville Technical Community College.
