Creating a Ripple in the Community 2011-12 Annual Report for Wake Technical Community College
Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others ... he sends forth a ripple ... those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls .... Robert F. Kennedy
Creating a
Ripple in the
Community
Wake County is growing by 20,000 new residents each year, and Wake Tech continues to expand at an equally astounding rate. Enrollment has increased more than 55% over the past five years and is not expected to slow down. In the 2011-12 year, Wake Tech served 66,676 students, or about 1 in every 8 Wake County adults. The education and training those students receive create a “ripple effect� that changes our community for the better, as they improve their lives and the lives of their families, bring new skills to the workplace, build companies, start entrepreneurial ventures, and solve problems with new technologies and innovative thinking. To serve them, Wake Tech has built new buildings, added faculty and class sections, offered more online options, and started a Saturday College to ease crowding and accommodate more students. We offer top-quality training as well as re-training programs for workers who have lost jobs or want to retool for a new career. We teach the latest technologies so students are not only skilled, but job ready. We work with local employers to make sure our training produces workers with the qualifications to meet the challenges of the future. We offer credentials that give workers opportunities for advancement and growth. We provide a springboard for those who seek additional higher education and options for staying employed while in school. And in 2011-12, we did something else: We launched a campaign to make sure Wake Tech will be able to continue to meet the needs of this community, far into the future. The Ripple Effect is a major gifts campaign that will support Wake Tech through strategic investments in the areas of student success, faculty and staff innovation, and technology impact. This report highlights our record-breaking year and our hopes for the years ahead. We’re grateful to this community for its support of our mission, and we look forward to creating a ripple that builds a strong community for all of us. Stephen C. Scott

CREATING How does Wake Tech create the ripple effect in our community? By focusing on student success, faculty and staff innovation, and technology impact.
Student Success Wake Tech is committed to providing access to affordable, high-quality education and training so that students can graduate, find employment, and become contributing members of the community.

Student Speaker Keith Morris
In December 2011 Wake Tech switched from an annual graduation ceremony at a large community venue to semiannual graduation ceremonies on the Main Campus. The new setting offers a more intimate experience for graduates and their families.
“As educators today, we must be creative and innovative in incorporating sustainability approaches and techniques into every part of the curriculum.� BUTCH GROVE, Dean of Sustainability
Faculty & Staff Innovation Innovation is the lifeblood of a dynamic academic community, and faculty and staff must be challenged to bring their best to the classroom and the college. One goal of The Ripple Effect is additional investment in professional development for Wake Tech faculty and staff – to encourage a climate of innovation and continuous improvement, creating fertile space for new ideas, fostering collaboration, and building creative connections.
Wake Tech’s Dean of Sustainability Butch Grove received professional certification in Campus Sustainability Leadership from the Institute for Global Sustainability at the University of Vermont. Wake Tech automotive instructor Rich Cregar addressed the first annual Low Carbon Earth Summit in Dalian, China, sharing his expertise in sustainable transportation technologies. Cregar, who was also named a “Champion of Change” by the White House, has been widely recognized for his work. Community college faculty from across NC, including 160 from Wake Tech, gathered in Durham for a summit focused on STEM education. The summit was made possible by a $10,000 donation from IBM. For the third consecutive year, Wake Tech was named one of the best colleges in the nation to work for by The Chronicle of Higher Education, in seven categories. Wake Tech announced “Transfer2Success,” a new partnership with William Peace University guaranteeing admission for Wake Tech
AAS graduates pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration or Business Administration/HR. Peace faculty will teach classes at Wake Tech. Wake Tech teamed up with local colleges and universities, as well as Wake County, Wake County Public Schools and the City of Raleigh to open the Raleigh College Center to offer resources to students and families. Wake Tech expanded its partnership with NC Central University, which will offer courses on Wake Tech’s Public Safety Education Campus leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. Educators from Hainan Province in China visited Wake Tech to share ideas with college leaders and discuss ways to enhance learning in colleges and vocational schools. Raleigh Police Chief Harry Dolan presented the “Chief’s Citation” award to three leaders in Wake Tech’s Public Safety Training Division and praised the training his officers have received at Wake Tech. Wake Tech trains about 8,000 law enforcement personnel annually.
OUR FACULTY AND STAFF Wake Tech faculty and staff help to create a ripple every day as they strive for excellence in serving students and the community. Each year the college recognizes their efforts with Excellence Awards in each department and division - and selects one faculty member and one staff member for special distinction.

Technology Impact Technology drives our world. For students to be marketable and relevant in today’s workplace, they must be competent in the latest technologies and able to stay ahead of an ever-advancing curve. Funding from The Ripple Effect will help to ensure that Wake Tech has the equipment and technologies that are vital.
Technical programs at Wake Tech caught the attention of U.S. Representative Renee Ellmers, when she visited Wake Tech to spotlight career pathways in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields and federal funding to support them. Wake Tech launched a powerful online tool, in partnership with College Network Central (CCN), to give students access to jobs and internships posted nationwide and connect them to potential employers. Wake Tech announced a new online resource to help students manage their finances, in partnership with the State Education Assistance Authority and the College Foundation of North Carolina. State Treasurer Janet Cowell
visited Wake Tech to observe and cited the importance of helping students minimize debt. U.S. Senator Kay Hagan cited Wake Tech’s Simulation and Game Development program as a model of collaboration and a critical part of solving unemployment in our state. Wake Tech grads have published 20 video games. The senator visited as part of her North Carolina Back to Work Jobs Tour. Wake Tech was named a “Model of Efficiency” by University Business magazine. Higher One sponsored the program, which recognizes innovative approaches to streamlining higher education through technology or business process improvements.

Letter from the Foundation Board Chair Thank you for starting a ripple and helping the Wake Tech Foundation have one of its most successful years to date. Because of your investment, we raised more than $3.6 million for Wake Tech Community College, with the funds supporting the most critical areas of need for the college. Thanks to you, we are ensuring students have access to quality education, faculty and staff continue to learn and grow professionally, and classrooms and campuses have the newest technologies, essential for providing relevant education and training. In 2011-2012, we launched The Ripple Effect, our first major gifts campaign in 21 years. This new initiative is certain to have a long-term impact on Wake Tech and its ability to respond to the community’s growing demand for education and training. Wake Tech is committed to meeting that demand, even during difficult economic times, but we cannot do it without the help of private partners. Through your investments, we will graduate productive, contributing citizens; prepare a strong workforce for industry; and drive economic growth in Wake County. What happens in the classrooms and across the campuses of Wake Tech has a ripple effect throughout the region. Please read this report to see how Wake Tech is putting your investment to work, and how you are making a difference in our college and our community. Thank you for your trust and your support. Sincerely,
Arne Morris Chairman, Wake Tech Foundation 2011-12

THE RIPPLE EFFECT Wake Tech has earned a reputation for making higher education accessible to all. We are uniquely positioned to respond to our community’s diverse needs for education and training, from degree programs to college transfer pathways to cutting-edge workforce training in the latest technologies, traditional trades, and emerging industries. More than ever, the community is demanding that Wake Tech deliver on its reputation, to prepare more students for meaningful and rewarding employment and for their roles as contributing members of our community. Their success ultimately fuels economic growth throughout Wake County; what starts in our classrooms has a far-reaching impact across this region. The Ripple Effect is Wake Tech’s response to record-breaking enrollment and demand for programs and services, an initiative to secure support for the programs that have distinguished us and had such a positive impact throughout the region. Like fouryear universities, Wake Tech depends on both public and private funding to operate, and donations to The Ripple Effect will help us continue to educate, innovate, and keep Wake County focused on the future. With the community’s help, we can reach our goals – so our students can reach theirs.
