Moore of Rocky Mount were longtime supporters of Nash Community College and their legacy will continue with the establishment of the Moore Family Fund. The Moores’ adult children, Alan and Ashley, have chosen to pay tribute to their parents’ memory by establishing the Moore Family Fund to support the NCC Ambassadors Program and the NCC Foundation Campus Mini-Grant Program. “We like the idea that we are supporting students and employees with student success being our priority,” Alan Moore said. “Our parents always wanted to give people opportunities to better themselves through life experiences and education.” Through the Student Ambassador Program, four to six students are selected annually to represent the college. They participate in an ambassador leadership training session and serve as hosts for campus and community events. NCC ambassadors conduct campus tours, recruit students, complete service hours and share their college experiences in the community. In return, each ambassador earns a $2,000 annual scholarship. “Our parents would be so pleased to know these individuals are being provided opportunities for growth and learning beyond the classroom,” Moore said. “They loved people and loved sharing their experiences in order to enrich the lives of students. They saw the potential in people and understood the importance of social etiquette and soft skills. This is a great way to encourage students as they hone their skills, build their resume and become leaders,” Moore said. The Campus Mini-Grant program provides funding for instructional and organizational needs including professional development, special projects, equipment and supplies that help advance the college.
