Dr. Walter C. Bartlett, President Piedmont Community College

A

s President of Piedmont Community College, I am grateful for the outpour of support for the Connect NC Bond that passed in March of this year. It was exceptional to see our communities recognize the benefits North Carolina will receive from this overall investment.

In fact, these benefits will not only boost economic activity, but also improve the aging facilities on both the Person and Caswell County campuses. With your help, Piedmont Community College will continue to make a difference in the lives of our students by providing quality services in up-to-date facilities.

Three initial projects related to the Connect NC Bond funding, renovations to the HVAC system, Barnett Auditorium in Buildling D, and Student Center in Building E, have been submitted for approval. Progress updates will be provided to the community as the projects are underway.

Dr. Joyce Johnson

Richard Self

Dr. Doris Carver

In addition, PCC is making changes to ensure that students will be more competitive in the workforce. Our Continuing Education and Curriculum programs are focused on providing educational avenues that match the employment landscape in our communities and surrounding areas. The credentials PCC students receive, however, are also nationally recognized, thus opening the door to a better tomorrow, no matter where a student chooses to reside.

Rick Farmer

Shelly Stone

Elizabeth Townsend

To what do I attribute PCC’s continued success in developing improved educational, economic, and cultural environments in our communities? The answer is our people - students and employees alike - and the valuable community partnerships established over the years.

As you will see in the pages that follow, Piedmont Community College’s people and partnerships have allowed for great things, such as:

OUR FOUNDATION

ONE MISSION. ONE GOAL. MANY DREAMS. HOW TO GIVE Every act of philanthropy, no matter how large or modest, impacts the lives of PCC students in a significant and meaningful way – it says someone cares about their future.

GIFTS OF CASH Restricted and unrestricted gifts made by cash, check, or credit card are the most common and simplest for donors and PCC. Generally tax-deductible in the year in which it is made, your cash gift can be put to work immediately.

APPRECIATED STOCK Charitable contributions of stocks, bonds, and other appreciated securities may provide you a maximum tax benefit. Typically deductible at the market value on the date gifted, your contribution of securities allows you to avoid capital gains tax on any appreciation.

MATCHING GIFTS Many companies match their employees’ contributions to higher education. You might double or even triple the value of your gift to PCC! To release these funds, you must initiate a process with your or your spouse’s employer.

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

“Serve, Share, and Support” continues to be the Alumni Partnership motto. This philosophy has led to the creation of numerous activities over the years, including Exam Breaks for current students, assisting with the Veterans Day ceremony in Caswell County, congratulating graduates with a departing gift, offering opportunities for alumni to meet with, advise, and mentor current students, and providing a community benefits card to members.

In fact, a graduate from each county receives a $1,000 scholarship to PCC yearly. These funding opportunities continue, and have been awarded to students from Person High School, Roxboro Community School, and Bartlett Yancey High School.

But did you know that the PCC Alumni Partnership has awarded over $23,000 in scholarships since inception?

It’s true! Scholarships were first awarded to new high school graduates from each of the College’s service areas.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Under the leadership of Shirley Deal, Alumni Cabinet Chair, Patti Clayton, Coordinator, Alumni Partnership, and a dedicated committee, Pickin’ by the Lake saw continued success in 2014, raising close to $7,000. With this, the Alumni Partnership leadership team announced the creation of a scholarship endowment at PCC. The donation of $10,000, given to the PCC Foundation, ensured that the PCC Alumni Partnership legacy would live on. This endowment will provide scholarship funding in perpetuity, meaning that a scholarship will always be awarded in honor of the Alumni Partners.

Alumni Partnership Scholarship recipients: Brittany Williford, Jennifer Terry, and Kristy Clayton

Pickin’ by the Lake

Pickin’ by the Lake helps fund “New Beginnings” scholarships for students returning to school after being away from education. These scholarships are awarded to students in curriculum and continuing education programs. The Partnership continues to award scholarships to new high school graduates, as well.
