WELCOME · · · · A LETTER from the PRESIDENT· · · ·

Welcome to the first in a series of annual reports I plan to present to the citizens of Guilford County during my presidency.

I arrived at GTCC on September 1, 2011, aware that the Board of Trustees had gifted me with an exceptional opportunity to lead one of our nation’s most committed community colleges.

My initial challenge was to build upon the presidency of Dr. Donald W. Cameron and carry forward the initiatives he began with the support of our students, faculty and staff. At the same time, it was necessary to help drive GTCC through a period of unprecedented growth that found the college serving almost 44,000 students during the 2011-2012 academic year.

You can imagine my surprise as one of the country’s leading community colleges when I learned that one of my first assignments was to welcome President Barrack Obama to our Jamestown Campus (October 18, 2011).

After his visit to the GTCC Children’s Center, the President delivered a major address to an invited audience at the Ragsdale Family YMCA.

The Interim Presidency of Executive Vice President Rae Marie Smith after Dr. Cameron’s retirement allowed me to immediately pursue several high priority initiatives related to GTCC’s local and regional leadership in workforce training. My team immediately reinforced our position as one of the national leaders of Completion by Design, the Gates Foundation program that focuses on the retention and graduation of older students, by hiring an executive director. GTCC’s ongoing initiative to improve retention was additionally supported by a $100,000 Walmart PRESS for Completion grant.

The college was awarded a second grant of $245,000 (September 2011) from Duke Energy funded an upgrade to the G3000 Integrated Avionics System enabling our expanding aviation program to train 50 avionics specialists for regional aviation companies. Grants from the Joseph M. Bryan Foundation and the Golden Leaf Foundation additionally supported one of GTCC’s most historic programs. The aviation program received another boost when the Honda Aircraft Company Inc. announced (October 11, 2011) that it would build its Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility at Piedmont Triad International Airport.

A few months later (April 21, 2012), I responded that GTCC would construct a 41,000 square foot classroom building at Piedmont Triad International Airport to house new and expanding aviation programs.

Since my appointment coincided with the retirement of several administrators we moved to fill key positions in some

of our major divisions. We have also added Radiography and Mechatronics to our list of programs. GTCC continued to expand its leadership in Workforce Development and Advanced Manufacturing. The college was once again summoned to help protect Americans as had previously done during the Cold War by providing courses for air raid personnel and training in bomb shelter construction.

GTCC trained a Homeland Security class and utilized a portion of the grant to train our staff in safety procedures.

Our award-winning students, faculty and staff demonstrate GTCC is in action as an active community leader.

As my first report on the operational status of our institution for the academic year 2011-2012, I thank the citizens of Guilford County who have supported GTCC through bond referendums at the polls and contributions to the GTCC Foundation. We gratefully acknowledge the continued support of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, the members of the NC Legislature and the city governments of High Point, Jamestown, Greensboro and Oak Ridge.

Thank you from America’s Community College.

Dr. Randy Parker

· · · · A MESSAGE from the GTCC BOARD CHAIR · · · · The twelve members of GTCC’s Board of Trustees faced a huge chore in 20102011 when we were tasked to select the institution’s 7th president. The retirement of long-term President Dr. Donald W. Cameron of 20 years of distinct leadership, created more than its share of anxious moments. Who could possibly replace this charismatic leader? We embarked on a rigorous national search and pursued the research process according to the rules of the State Board of Community Colleges and were at times overwhelmed by the response.

GTCC’s national reputation was a huge selling point.

To make a long story short, we found the right match for this crucial appointment in Dr. Randy Parker. Trained as a professional engineer with an exceptional record as an innovative community college administrator and a civic champion, his resume exceeded our expectations.

Dr. Parker directed a multi-campus institution, established early college high schools, understood the process of county and state funding, demonstrated knowledge of the curriculum and the social needs of students. Additionally, he was a proven economic developer with an extensive background in logistics.

The following pages detail the accomplishments during his first year as president of America’s Community College.

I believe that you will agree with me and the Board that Dr. Randy Parker is a superlative leader. Please read on and thanks for your support of Guilford Technical Community College.

DR. RANDY PARKER SUCCEEDS PRESIDENT DONALD W. CAMERON Dr. George R. (Randy) Parker, president of Vance-Granville Community College, has been selected to succeed Dr. Donald W. Cameron as president of Guilford Technical Community College effective Sept. 1, 2011.

“Our Board is confident that Randy Parker’s success as a visionary community college president combined with his professional training as an engineer and college administrator plus his exceptional record of business and civic involvement is the perfect fit for our great and growing institution,” said Coy O. Williard, Jr., chair of the GTCC Board of Trustees. “Dr. Parker is the first to acknowledge that it is impossible to replace Don Cameron, but we are firmly convinced that he is the leader with the energy and the skills to extend our vision for GTCC.”

“It is an honor to be selected by the Board to lead GTCC, one of our state’s flagship institutions of higher education,” said Dr. Parker. “I look forward to working with the Board, GTCC’s dedicated faculty and

staff and the community to build on and continue GTCC’s legacy of excellence and success in teaching, student learning and economic development partnerships.”

Dr. Parker has presided at Vance-Granville Community College in Henderson, N.C., since 2004. Prior to his current position, he served as vice president of instruction and student services at Lenoir Community College in Kinston (19812004).

He received an associate degree in mechanical drafting and design technology from Lenoir Community College, a bachelor’s degree in engineering technology from UNC Charlotte, a master’s degree in mechanical engineering and a doctorate in higher education administration from North Carolina State University.

Dr. Parker began his community college career as a general engineering instructor and worked professionally in the engineering industry. As a community college administrator, he has provided leader-

ship in all phases of community college governance including budgeting, curriculum and personnel. He comes to GTCC experienced in the establishment of early middle college high schools and logistical programs associated with the North Carolina Global TransPark Authority. He is a tireless fundraiser for his institution’s Foundation.

“With Dr. Parker’s experience and expertise, we won’t miss a beat,” Williard said.

“I speak for all of our trustees when I say that it has been an honor to have worked with Don Cameron. The Piedmont Triad Region, the state and the nation have benefited from his heart-driven commitment to students, his innovative programs, superior organizational skills and productive partnerships with business and industry. We are grateful for his service and excited that he and Jayne will continue as viable members of the Guilford County community. We look forward to welcoming Dr. Parker and his family to Guilford County.”

GTCC RECEIVES A HISTORIC VISIT FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA Photo | Cheryl Hemric

GTCC | 2011-2012 President’s Report | 9 Photo | Cheryl Hemric

Some days on our campus, you never know who may show up. Our campuses are the perfect venues for all types of political figures. We’ve had local, state and federal officials visit the college, and Governor Beverley Perdue is a routine guest at Guilford Technical Community College. This time was a little different.

On October 18, 2011 we were honored with a visit from the 44th President of the United States: Barack Obama.

During his visit, President Obama hosted a roundtable event with educators and student teachers in the GTCC Children’s Center.

He also rallied a crowd including GTCC

faculty, staff and students at the Ragsdale YMCA. President Obama said, “…How well we do as a country is going to depend on how well we train our young people.

And it starts early. So we’re at a terrific early childhood education program here at the community college.”

Members of the discussion panel were: • Anna Hartgrove – Director of the GTCC Children’s Center • Mary Skrabec – Department Chair for Early Childhood Education • Linda Witte Phillips – High School Teacher, Ragsdale High School • Craig Preston Babcock – Elementary School Teacher, Millis Road Elementary School

As the President sat down for his discussion with the group of teachers and soonto-be teachers, he talked about how cuts to education at the state and local level have become an alarming trend: “One of the concerns that I’ve had over the course of the last several months – in fact, the last couple of years – are the layoffs that we’ve seen in education and the cutbacks we’ve seen in education all across the country. States and local governments are under a big crunch. And at precisely the time when we need to be emphasizing

Photo | Cheryl Hemric

education and putting our resources into education, we’re seeing cutbacks all across the board. Teachers are losing their jobs.

Schools are having to cut back on vital programs that are helping young people.”

After the 20-minute panel discussion, President Obama visited the Ragsdale YMCA where he addressed a maximum capacity crowd to discuss employment and the role of education in the nation.

While this was an invitation-only and ticketed event, the GTCC faculty and staff of the Early Childhood Education Program as well as Guilford County Schools (GCS) teachers were special guests. These constituents were able to be seated behind the President during his speech.

School children from Millis Elementary School, located across the street from GTCC, lined High Point Road to wave to the President as he departed the YMCA. It was both a thrill and an honor to have President Obama on our campus. One student exclaimed, “I have never been so proud to be a GTCC student as I am today.”

GTCC strives to provide the best quality education and opportunities to its students. GTCC creates successful futures and is a place where even presidents want to visit.

About the Children’s Center The Guilford Technical Community College Children’s Center opened in March 1979 as a laboratory school for the Early Childhood Education Department. The center is licensed by the Division of Child Development and Early Education and has a five-star rating. Our Children’s Center is located on the beautiful Jamestown Campus in the Service Careers building.

Enrollment is open to children of students, staff and faculty as well as children of the community. We accept enrollment for children between the ages of six weeks and five years. The center currently has an enrollment of more than 80 children at this time.

ASTRONOMY EVENTS DRAW CROWDS TO GTCC Photo | Cheryl Hemric

On Tuesday, June 5, 2011, GTCC held a viewing session of the transit of Venus as the planet crossed over the face of the sun, appearing as a black dot. The event was a rare occurance with only six other transits having been recorded in history (1639, 1761, 1769, 1874, and 2004). Astronomy Professor and Director of the Cline Observatory, Tom English, provided guests with high tech telescopes and other equipment to view the transit safely. Protective sunglasses were also made available and the GTCC Culinary Department provided snacks for the event.

On Friday, September 30, 2011, GTCC hosted it’s annual Astronomy Day with guest lecturer Francis Halzen from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Halzen spoke on Ice Fishing for Neurtrinos at the South Pole. After the lecture attendees looked to the sky by enjoying the opportunity to look through the telescope at the Cline Observatory.

BAUERLINE SPEAKS AT GTCC On November 9, 2011, GTCC hosted best selling author Mark Bauerline on our Jamestown Campus. The event was standing room only as crowds gathered for the event. Bauerline gave a lecture and spoke to students about his book, “The Dumbest Generation.” This book was part of an all-college read in which students not only read the book but also looked at various aspects of the digital age we live in. The lecture was so well received it was standing room only. Bauerline took questions from students and held a book-signing afterwards. Baurline also spoke at the Greensboro Public Library later that evening. The event was sponsored by the GTCC English Department, the GTCC Bookstore, and the GTCC Foundation.

GTCC ANNOUNCES NEW INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS One of GTCC’s main objectives is to develop and implement relevant curriculum programs needed by the business community. As technology evolves and occupations become more about knowledge than muscle, innovative programs of study are imperative. Today, GTCC continues to evolve with two new programs: Advanced Manufacturing and Radiography.

Advanced Manufacturing is a hybrid of mechanical and electronics engineering that integrates electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, hydraulics and computer control. The program teaches students the significant skills needed to go directly to work in a high-skilled, high-demand and high-paying job.

The program will be open to 32 students and offers an associate degree in applied science in advanced manufacturing technology.

Radiography is a healthcare profession that uses radiation to produce images of the human body. The Radiography program began in Fall 2011 and offers a two-year associate degree in applied science. The course of study includes one semester of general education courses and five semesters of radiography courses. It is a limited enrollment program.

a single motivated leader can exert on the regional community in support of the initiatives of the Department of Leadership, Policy and Adult and Higher Education at North Carolina State University.”

Parker was cited for his leadership during the completion of his doctoral program with the N.C. State University faculty and for his accomplishments at Vance-Granville Community College.

He was commended for creating innovative curricular pathways in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) curricula and establishing partnerships with UNC institutions in the engineering, math and science curricula.

The awards committee noted the collaborative partnership he formed with the Frank Hawkins Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the National Science Foundation to offer the nation’s

first Associate in Applied Science Degree in Global Logistics Technology. The committee acknowledged Parker’s leadership to revise the FTE (Full Time Equivalency) formula that funds the community college system.

Parker was a prime leader in creating and expanding the early college high school programs through a crucial partnership with K-12 schools. Three of these programs are housed on GTCC’s Jamestown, High Point and Greensboro campuses.

Since becoming president of GTCC in September 2011, Parker has worked to engage young adults to pursue and participate in higher education. He is presently presiding over the Gates Foundation Development Education Initiative (DEI) that targets developmental education at GTCC and the institution’s leadership of the Completion by Design (CPD) initiative, funded by the state and the Gates Foundation.

BOBBY ALLISON NEARS 300 COACHING WINS Most coaches would be pleased to close the basketball season with a 23-8 record and compile a 79-16 record in three years with a new athletic program.

Not coach Bobby Allison of the GTCC Lady Titans.

“This past season was by far my worst ever as a head coach,” Allison said. “We finished third in the conference and were seeded third in the regional tournament.”

GTCC won its opening tournament game but lost to nationally-ranked Patrick Henry Community College in the second round. Allison was runner-up for coach of the year in the Carolinas-Virginia Conference.

Allison’s record as a women’s basketball coach now stands at 294-35, including his years as coach at Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica, N.Y. He took over the GTCC Lady Titans at the

start of its second season of women’s basketball.

In previous years, Allison led GTCC to records of 29-3 and 27-5 and was twice named Conference Coach of the Year.

Allison’s teams have attained national ranking, an accomplishment for a young program.

CHEF ALAN ROMANO EARNS TWO AWARDS Alan Romano makes cooking fun – in the classroom and on television. His persona is just as warm as the delightful food he prepares.

COMPLETION BY DESIGN: GTCC LEADS NATIONAL INITIATIVE Guilford Technical Community College is the lead school among five North Carolina community colleges selected for Completion by Design, a national initiative funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to increase completion and graduation rates for low-income students ages 18 to 26.

Davidson County Community College, Central Piedmont Community College, Martin Community College and Wake Technical Community College are among a cadre of schools from four states chosen for the five-year program. The five colleges will share a $495,000 grant from the Gates Foundation to launch the project.

“GTCC and its partners are thoroughly committed to the retention and completion of our students through innovative practices and the data collection that measures success,” said Ed Bowling, executive director of Completion by Design at GTCC. “Completion by Design builds on those practices.”

The initiative aims to build on proven existing practices already underway at a number of progressive community colleges. These institutions are committed to addressing the needs of today’s students by focusing on new approaches to key events during students’ educational experience, from the first time they connect to the college through completion.

Community colleges presently serve nearly 11 million students. Enrollment has surged as the recession has caused many Americans to return to school.

Community colleges also are evolving to serve students who often are older and work full time or part time while attending school.

Solving this problem is important for our students, our economy and our country.

A report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce forecasts that 63 percent of jobs will require at least some postsecondary education by 2018. The report also shows that without a dramatic change in course the labor market will be short 3 million educated workers during the next eight years.

Under GTCC’s leadership, the five designated North Carolina colleges will analyze best practices within higher education and initiatives the institutions have developed to determine how these processes and procedures can be spread to the entire North Carolina community college system.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation established the Completion by Design project to proceed in three phases beginning in June 2011: •

The first phase will be a one-year planning period in which the participating colleges will examine their own data to identify loss points and design strategies to address them.

•

Phase two will be an implementation period during which the colleges will implement the strategies.

•

The final stage will focus on policy implications and changes, and broadening the project for national impact.

Ed Bowling of High Point was named North Carolina executive director for Completion by Design. His duties will include working with his counterparts in Texas, Ohio and Florida where the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation also has funded Completion by Design Initiatives. Their mission will be to devise and implement new approaches to make the college experience more responsive to today’s student, according to the foundation.

Previously, Bowling was coordinator of GTCC’s Developmental Education Initiative grant. Prior to that, he was a reading adjunct in Developmental Education and a time-limited instructor at GTCC. A native of Indiana, he moved to North Carolina in 1988 to work for Wachovia Bank, where he spent nearly14 years and became senior vice-president and manager of investment product development and solutions.

HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROVIDES TRAINING TO CAMPUS POLICE With more than 15,000 students spread across four campuses, Guilford Technical Community College’s Campus Police has a big task in protecting the students, faculty and staff.

the case.

“That’s why I want to get all of the training I can for our officers,” said Chief Jerry Clark.

“We had our telephone operators trained about how to handle calls of a threatening nature,” said Sgt. Aaron Smith, one of the officers trained in how to deal with bombs in two courses at the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center at New Mexico Technical Institute in Socorro, NM.

Whether it is a bomb threat, campus shooting or terrorism threat, Clark has been alert to the potential catastrophes that could occur on a community college campus, he said.

His department was faced with a bomb threat in August 2011, resulting in an arrest. Clark said training of four GTCC officers through a grant from Homeland Security contributed to the solving of

“Our officers knew what steps to take and how to begin the investigation,” Clark said.

Other training courses included a how first responders handle incidents involving explosives and how to deal with prevention and response to suicide bombing incidents.

“With terrorism threats on the increase other bizarre happenings that impact public safety, the GTCC Campus Police searched for training that would address these issues,” Clark said.

Sgt. J.T. Williams, who has worked on the GTCC Greensboro Campus after spending 30 years with the Greensboro Police Department, participated in some of the training.

“As a first responder, these courses have prepared me to prepare for, respond to, attempt to prevent and recognize a possible attack by use of improvised explosive devices, weapons of mass destruction, dirty bombs, chemical and biological radiological and nuclear explosives,” Williams said.

GTCC AWARDED $100,000 WALMART PRESS FOR COMPLETION GRANT Guilford Technical Community College was selected as one of 15 community colleges in the nation to win a $100,000 Walmart PRESS for Completion Grant.

Sponsored by the Walmart Foundation and administered by Achieving the Dream, the grant will enable GTCC to better engage faculty – particularly adjunct faculty -- and staff in important campus-based reform efforts to improve student completion rates.

“Student success is our highest priority.

To that end, we must provide the firstclass support services, highly trained

faculty and committed staff members necessary to create the roadmap to this success,” said Dr. Randy Parker, president of Guilford Technical Community College.

“Guilford Technical Community College has met high standards of practice and performance and is well-positioned to tackle one of the toughest community college reform challenges our nation is facing: engaging more full-time and adjunct faculty and staff in student success efforts,” said Rachel Singer, vice president of Achieving the Dream, Inc.

The grant will include a 27-month process during which GTCC will receive technical assistance and support from Achieving the Dream. In addition, GTCC has agreed to serve as a peer coach and to be active in the learning community among the other 175 plus colleges in the larger Achieving the Dream National Reform Network. Ultimately, at least 100,000 students stand to benefit directly and 3.75 million indirectly from the collective work of the selected colleges.

DUKE ENERGY AWARDS SECOND GRANT TO AVIONICS PROGRAM The Duke Energy Community and Technical College Grant Program has awarded Guilford Technical Community College a $245,937 grant to support the “increasing capacity of avionics technicians for Honda Aircraft and the Triad aviation industry’s cluster partners program.”

Dr. Richard Pagan, division chair of transportation technologies at GTCC, said the grant will fund upgrades to avionics equipment acquired through a Duke Energy grant of $243,958 three years ago.

The upgrade will meet the current industry standards for systems, avionics and electrical production associates, he said.

A small portion of the grant also will be used for professional development of the avionics staff, Pagan said.

The first Duke Energy grant helped establish the training program for avionics technicians at GTCC’s Aviation Center II building at 819 Radar Road near the Piedmont Triad International Airport.

“Initially GTCC will provide training for Honda Aircraft personnel in support of the on-going development of the HondaJet and associated technologies with the upgrading to the G3000 integrated Avionics System,” Pagan added. “The first Duke Energy grant provided funds for the Garmin 1000 Avionics system.”

GTCC’s avionics program plans to train approximately 40 to 50 avionics specialists annually for local and regional aviation companies.

“We are excited that Duke Energy has partnered with us in establishing an aviation electronics program that is second to none in the nation and one that will meet the aviation industry needs,” Pagan said.

“With the additional grant, we can catapult the aviation electronics program to the next level of providing training in the latest avionics equipment available. With the addition of a second faculty member and this grant, we are well-positioned to move forward in being the central training facility for avionics.”

CONSTRUCTION UPDATES Plans for the construction of GTCC’s Aviation Building III are underway. Located on Radar Road in Greensboro, the new 41,000-square-foot-facility will accommodate the aviation program’s growing enrollment and allow for additional programs.

Currently, the college conducts classes at the T.H. Davis Aviation Center (36,000 square feet of classrooms and labs, plus a 12,000-square-foot hangar), located at 260 N. Regional Road, as well as the Aviation Center II building (64,000 square feet), located at 819 Radar Road.

Aviation III will house GTCC’s Aviation Management and Career Pilot programs and additional classrooms for customized

industry training. The design of the first classroom was completed this year.

Aviation III is expected to open in Spring

2014, with classes beginning for the Fall semester in August 2014.

The Donald W. Cameron Campus completed phase I of site work. The new 100acre campus, located at 1117 NC Highway 68 in Oak Ridge, will be the college’s fourth campus.

The campus will be home to the Center for Business and Industry, which will house the North Carolina Center for Global Logistics. The expected completion date is Spring 2014. The 97,500 square feet space will be used for academic programs and will include a 250-seat auditorium for conference-style events.
