P.A.C.E.

Johnston Community College’s regional accreditation body, The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), requires accredited institutions to undergo a comprehensive decennial review.

As part of that review, accredited institutions are to plan, implement, and report on a Quality Enhancement Plan, or QEP. As JCC undergoes it’s accreditation reaffirmation this year, it is also implementing its next five-year QEP which is called P.A.C.E Yourself: Progress, Advising, and Campus Engagement in the First Year.

A QEP is designed to enhance student learning and/or student success. We dedicate people, time, and resources to setting goals and assessments for the QEP.

Journeying Jags

One of the initiatives that came out of the QEP is called “Journeying Jags.”

This is a group made up of faculty staff, and students who wear special shirts the first two weeks of class to help students find their way.

We also held a design contest for students to help create the QEP logo. Zianna Hodges came up with the winning design.

Auditorium Update

The Paul A. Johnson Auditorium is re-opening in the fall of 2022. The auditorium has undergone a complete renovation and is ready to be used for community events once again.

To reserve the space, please contact Ken Mitchell at khmitchelljr@johnstoncc.edu.

ESports

If you haven’t heard of it yet, you will. Esports is organized, competitive video gaming that is growing by leaps and bounds.

JCC’s team was formed during the pandemic.

In the spring of 2022, Will Jackson became the National Junior College Athletic Associations’ (NJCAAE) Rocket League Champion. Rocket League is a video game which combines soccer and vehicles.

Jackson says there is a perception that video gamers are “just basement dwellers,” but that he and the rest of the Esports team “are pioneers.”

“We are really the first generation to make it happen and make it a real sport,” Jackson says.

You can follow the JCC Esports team on Twitch at @thejaguaresports.

JCC hosted an Esports competition by Stay Plugged In October 1 - 2, 2022.
