Facing Challenges
From The President In the past year we’ve come to know a lot about trying times and daunting challenges – but adversity often gives rise to fresh ideas and renewed resolve. This year’s annual report is a testament to what we can accomplish when we think ahead, encourage innovation, and work together toward a common goal. The economic downturn forced us to tighten our belts; at the same time, our College saw astounding growth. People from every segment of our community have turned to higher education as the safest port in a storm of economic change and uncertainty. They want to learn new skills, update their training and credentials, get more specialized knowledge, further their learning. Wake Tech continues to offer opportunities that fit a multitude of needs and interests, from the most basic skills to focused job training. Our certificate, diploma, and associate’s degree programs prepare people at every level for the demands of today’s workplace – while laying the groundwork for future academic and professional advancement. Amid all of this, Wake Tech pushed forward as a leader in the “green” movement, as environmentally-responsible goods and production processes featured more prominently in the marketplace than ever before. Our Northern Wake Campus received official certification as the first college campus in the country with all LEED-certified buildings. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the U.S. Green Building Council’s highest standard. Who would have thought that south-facing buildings, automatic light sensors, and high-efficiency boilers and chillers would save up to 30 percent of energy costs? We salute the architects at Pearce, Brinkley, Cease + Lee and the builders at J.M. Thompson: Their vision and innovative work continue to garner awards and accolades from the most-respected experts in the region. In addition to its buildings, the Northern Wake Campus has a multitude of “green” features. We’ve cut construction waste in half on this still-growing campus through recycling, and with droughtresistant landscaping, we’ve reduced the need to water the grounds in summer months. These measures help the environment while saving the College millions of dollars over the long term. The Northern Wake Campus is only two years old, but Wake Tech’s commitment to sustainability is not new. Our College has an active Conservation Committee that works to educate and engage the college community through activities and events. With the Committee’s push, we’ve replaced hundreds of light bulbs across our campuses with compact fluorescents, installed low-flush valves and automatic faucet sensors in restrooms, and secured grants from Wake County Waste Management for an extremely successful recycling program. We continue to promote energy efficiency as “the Wake Tech Way” to all our students, faculty, and staff. Wake Tech’s commitment to sustainability extends into classrooms, where instructors integrate it into coursework and program content in every discipline: alternative fuels, energy-efficient construction, sustainable engineering and design, and environmental sciences. (You can learn more at https://greenjobs.waketech.edu.) The new technologies offer a wealth of career opportunities for today’s students and graduates, and Wake Tech will continue to make sure they’re equipped with the latest tools for success in these fields.

Dr. Scott Ralls, president of North Carolina Community Colleges, addresses the graduates with his message of “hope, opportunity, and jobs.” Wake Tech’s Northern Wake Campus: “Leading” the Way In the summer of 2009, the first two instructional buildings on Wake Tech’s Northern Wake Campus received their LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED® is the Council’s rating system for designing and constructing the world’s greenest and most energy efficient, high-performance buildings. The Northern Wake Campus is the first college campus in the nation constructed with all LEED-certified buildings. Progress was on made on the campus’s third instructional building, designed to achieve an even higher level of certification – LEED “Silver” at least. Sustainable features such as occupancy sensors that automatically turn off lights when no one is present, high-efficiency boilers and chillers, and ultra low-flush valves in restrooms are expected to reduce electricity use on the campus by more than 30% and cut water use nearly in half. In addition, builders reduced waste during the construction process by more than 50% through recycling.
Going Green Has Its Rewards … As our Northern Wake Campus continues to take shape, the community has taken notice! Wake Tech is proud to be the recipient of these honors: 2008 Green Award from Triangle Business Journal 2008 Innovation of the Year Award from the League for Innovation 2008 Finalist, NC Sustainability Award 2009 “Green Building of America” Award from Construction Communications 2009 City of Raleigh Green Design Award Learning Green … Working Green Wake Tech is committed to preparing students and workers to take their places in (and contribute to) a greener world. Wake Tech incorporates green technologies into many of its courses and programs, including Environmental Science, Automotive Systems, Construction Management, Architectural Technology, and Landscape Architecture. As the nation’s first college campus with all LEED-certified buildings, the Northern Wake Campus provides a unique setting as a real-life training lab for current students in architecture and construction management. In our Automotive Systems Technology program, training is offered in alternative fuels and sustainable transportation technologies such as hybrid, biodiesel, and hydrogen fuel cell technology. Wake Tech has also launched http://greenjobs. waketech.edu to keep the community informed as programs in green technologies grow. EnLIGHTened and Inspired Since 2006, Wake Tech’s Energy Conservation and Awareness Committee has been an important part of the College commitment to saving energy and protecting the environment. Each year, the committee promotes energy conservation college-wide, through communications and promotions such as the Change A Light Campaign. In the fall of 2008, more than 300 Wake Tech employees received free compact fluorescent bulbs in exchange for their pledge to replace at least one light bulb at home or at work with an Energy Star ® bulb. The energy-efficient bulbs were donated by Progress Energy, Home Depot, and Voss Lighting.
Car Smarts When it comes to his career, Matt Child is definitely in the driver’s seat! The 2009 Wake Tech graduate jumped into the fast lane after completing his degree, landing his first job as an automotive technician at Leith Mercedes-Benz in Cary. After additional specialized training, Matt is now certified to work on the Mercedes Smart Car – one of only about a hundred such technicians in the nation! The Ultimate “Green” Job Like a lot of students, Greg Orcutt had not decided on a major when he enrolled at Wake Tech ten years ago. He says his very first class in Environmental Science convinced him that the place he wanted to work was the great outdoors! Greg earned his associate’s degree in Environmental Science Technology and is now a North Carolina Park Ranger at Falls Lake, caring for the environment and teaching others how to preserve it.

Foundation Highlights Our community has shown great resolve in the face of unprecedented recent financial challenges – and our generous donors and partners have demonstrated unwavering commitment to the work of the Wake Tech Foundation. Many of them chose the Foundation as one of the few charitable investments they made in the past year. For this, we say THANK YOU! On behalf of our Board of Directors, I’m happy to report that the Wake Tech Foundation raised over $2 million in cash and in-kind contributions during the 2008-09 fiscal year – an astounding achievement in any economic climate! Here are some highlights: • Wake Tech employees contributed more than $63,300 to the Foundation – in a year when a decline in employee giving would have been more than understandable. Employee contributions have increased consistently each year. • As enrollment continued to grow, the Foundation awarded more than $175,000 in scholarships and emergency financial assistance to students. • The Louis C. and Martha Ruth Smith Endowed Scholarship and the McKee Family Foundation Scholarships were added to Foundation resources, thanks to generous new contributors. The impact of these gifts is far reaching. • Five foster care youth transitioned into independence and college at Wake Tech. The Foundation’s Fostering Bright Futures program, a unique community partnership, provides mentoring, life skills training, and other services to help former foster youth pursue higher education. Six additional students joined the program in fall 2009! • The Foundation provided $1,185,638 in much-needed support for Wake Tech programs. • Wake Tech faculty and staff returned to the classroom to learn new skills – in response to increasing demands on the College – and the Foundation helped, providing $34,528 to 49 employees. • The Foundation recognized employees who contribute to Wake Tech’s ongoing success, awarding $15,000 in excellence awards to 13 faculty and staff members. We’re aware of the difficult decisions many in our community have had to make, and we again thank all those who chose to invest in Wake Tech. We are changing lives through education, and every contribution is important in making that transformation possible for our students. Thank you for your commitment to Wake Tech and to our community. Joseph A. Cooper, Jr., Chairman Wake Tech Foundation Board of Directors
