Dear Graduate:

It is my honor to bestow upon you all of the honors, privileges, and recognitions that you have earned as a graduate of Catawba Valley Community College! Today is a very special day for you, your family, your friends, and our college, as we celebrate the accomplishment of a goal realized through hard work, commitment, passion, and perseverance. However, today is also the beginning of the rest of your life. I have often read that success is a journey, not a destination. So, as your journey continues, reflect on the lessons that you have learned, the challenges that you have overcome, and the confidence that you now have as a graduate of Catawba Valley Community College. Remember: You will always be an important part of Red Hawk Nation!

Sincerely,

Garrett D. Hinshaw President

EDUCATIONAL AWARD RECIPIENTS EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AWARD WINNER Sarah Joyner, MS, MA Sarah Joyner has served in the field of education for 21 years, accumulating experience as a faculty member, faculty mentor, youth leader, and club moderator. She began her career teaching high school history, economics, and sociology.

Ms. Joyner’s love of sociology and the importance of it in today’s society led her to pursue a second master’s degree in sociology. After earning that degree, she has taught sociology as both an adjunct and full-time faculty member in higher education. Ms. Joyner has taught a variety of courses including Introduction to Sociology, Social Problems, Deviance, Race and Ethnicity, and Social Diversity. She also developed the course “Sociology of Health and Illness” at Touro College for Health Sciences.

Ms. Joyner has been actively involved in helping communities in need and teaching students about the importance of service. She has worked with troubled teens in Long Island, New York, and has spent time in Peru working with children and teens with disabilities who have been abandoned. After hurricane Katrina, Ms. Joyner took a group of students to New Orleans to help local residents in their rebuilding efforts.

Currently, Ms. Joyner is a full-time sociology instructor at CVCC, and she is also active on several committees at the college. Along with developing a new course, “Social Diversity”, she is conducting research to identify and understand the educational disparities which are present among the African American student body in comparison to other racial and ethnic groups.

STAFF EXCELLENCE AWARD WINNER Christy Lefevers, MAcc, CPA Christy Lefevers has served as a team member at Catawba Valley Community College since 2004. During her tenure at CVCC, she has served as Accounting Program Director from 2014-2020, Department Head of Accounting and Business Programs from 2020-2022, and Associate Dean for the School of General Education in 2022. Ms. Lefevers currently serves as the Associate Dean for Workforce Connectivity and the Apprenticeship Director.

Ms. Lefevers’ roots in the North Carolina Community College System run deep, as her educational journey began at Western Piedmont Community College where she earned an associate degree in accounting. She followed that degree with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting from Gardner-Webb University. Ms. Lefevers is also a Certified Public Accountant.

In 2021, Ms. Lefevers won the CVCC Excellence in Teaching Award. When asked why she enjoys her work at CVCC so much, she said, “I am committed to encouraging and supporting our student population, many of which are just like I was over twenty-five years ago.

My purpose remains and always will be to encourage and develop as many students as possible, enabling all students to achieve their personal goals and dreams.”

In her spare time, Ms. Lefevers enjoys being outside, especially around water. She and her two children, Lauren (17) and Riley (15), live in Morganton.

THE HISTORY OF CVCC Through the concerted efforts of concerned and united Catawba County citizens and North Carolina educational leaders, on April 3, 1958, Catawba Valley Community College was established by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction as the ninth school of its kind in the state. Construction of the original facilities began in 1959. The 40,000 square foot building, costing approximately $500,000, was completed in August 1960. An initial enrollment of seventy-seven (77) students began classes in September of the same year. From 1960 to 1963, the College operated under the jurisdiction of the Catawba County Board of Education. During this time, the College was known as the Catawba County Industrial Education Center.

In July 1963, the General Assembly of North Carolina enacted G.S. 115A into law, which provided for the establishment of the present North Carolina Community College System. On January 9, 1964, Catawba Valley Technical Institute was among the original seven institutes chartered by the System. At that time, CVTI established its own Board of Trustees and began operation as a member of the Department of Community Colleges. Thus, it was in August 1964 that the College awarded its first Associate Degree in Applied Science.

During the transition from an Industrial Education Center to a Technical Institute, great strides began in expanding educational programs, increasing student enrollment, developing quality instruction, adding facilities, and increasing community acceptance and service. On September 1, 1979, the name of the institution was changed to Catawba Valley Technical College by the college trustees and commissioners of Catawba County. On December 1, 1987, the State Board of Community Colleges officially approved CVTC to become Catawba Valley Community College, and the college transfer program was approved.

The addition of the CVCC Alexander Center for Education was approved by the State Board in November 2000, and programs and services were again expanded to better serve our community. The Alexander Center has been moved twice to meet growing community needs. The most recent move was into a facility purchased by the Alexander County Commissioners. In addition to the 15,000 square foot facility on 4.72 acres located at 345 Industrial Boulevard in Taylorsville, the Alexander County Commissioners purchased a second facility adjacent to the original purchase. In October 2016, the Alexander Center for Education was expanded to include the Alexander Technologies Center. The Technologies Center offers skilled programs in furniture and welding and will continue to offer additional workforce programming based on the needs of the county.

As of January 2023, the campus now covers approximately 162 acres and includes 18 buildings for an approximate 841,424 square feet of floor space. In addition to main campus, the CVCC Cosmetology Center is located across Startown Road (adjacent to the main campus), the CVCC Corporate Development Center is located on U.S. Highway 70, the Catawba Valley Furniture Academy is also located on U.S. Highway 70, and the Manufacturing Solutions Centers I and II are located in Conover. In December 2019, classes began at the CVCC Workforce Solutions Complex (located on main campus). The expanded programming opportunities and academy style training are growth opportunities for local economic development and our community workforce. The college also opened the Public Safety Training Center located on 36 acres off of Sweetwater Road in October 2019. Our public service areas have been offering training at the new facility on a regular basis. We are proud to serve our community and region.

Catawba Valley Community College celebrates its 65th anniversary in 2023. Over the years, faculty and staff have touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Recently, the college has had a growing role in workforce development and community leadership.

Our business continues to focus on changing lives, and still today, we are about empowering people to achieve their dreams. During this time span, we have had only three presidents: founding president Mr. Robert E. Paap, his successor Dr. Cuyler A. Dunbar, and the current president Dr. Garrett D. Hinshaw, who began his tenure on August 1, 2006. Catawba Valley Community College continues as a publicly supported coeducational institution.

The Academy is a year-long leadership training program for students who are nominated by faculty or staff and who meet specified criteria.

In recognition of their military service, CVCC honors graduating Student Veterans with a red, white, and blue honor cord.

ACADEMIC REGALIA Originating in the Middle Ages, academic regalia has changed little in design, colors, and symbolism. The earlier apparel not only declared the wearer’s rank and station, but also provided warmth in the cold, drafty halls of the fourteenth century. Since 1895, most colleges and universities in the United States have followed a uniform code of academic dress designed to show the various degrees, the institutions conferring the degree, and the discipline in which the degree was earned. The distinguishing mark of the gown, which is almost always black, is the sleeve: Bachelor—a long pointed sleeve; Master—an oblong sleeve open at the wrist; Doctor—a bell shaped sleeve with three velvet bars. The silk lining of the hood identifies the institution granting the degree. The color of the velvet edging is indicative of the discipline in which the degree was earned.

THE MACE The Mace, a ceremonial insignia of Catawba Valley Community College, was created by the College’s Furniture Division in honor of the late R. Louis Putnam, a 33-year faculty member and employee. Approximately three feet long, the Mace is handcrafted from solid mahogany and includes the tassel from the previous mace. It is adorned with a replica of the shield and torch from the College seal as well as an inscription honoring Mr. Putnam and the College Presidents. The new Mace was first carried in the May 2008 ceremony. The Mace was updated in 2020 with a Red Hawk adorning the top to honor the CVCC Mascot.

THE MEDALLION The Medallion is a pewter impression of the official seal of Catawba Valley Community College. It is three inches in diameter and hangs from a 30-inch chain. A symbol of the power and authority of the president’s position, the Medallion was first displayed in 1988.

THE BANNERS The degree banners placed on either side of the stage represent the academic degrees awarded by Catawba Valley Community College and honor the leadership provided by the board of trustees and the service and instruction provided by faculty and staff. The banners first debuted in the May 2008 Commencement Ceremonies. The banners were redesigned for the 2016 Commencement Ceremonies and are as follows: Trustees, Faculty and Staff, Diploma, Associate in Applied Science, Associate in Arts, Associate in Engineering, Associate in Fine Arts, Associate in General Education, and Associate in Science.
