Our Mission Piedmont Community College enriches lives by providing lifelong learning, educational and training programs for today’s global workforce, and cultural opportunities for Person and Caswell Counties.

am highly pleased to serve as Chair of the Piedmont Community College Board of Trustees! Most of my adult life, I have had the privilege of being involved with EDUCATION mainly here in Person County - teaching, serving as principal, director of special programs (including the arts) and assistant superintendent of K-5 curriculum and instruction – therefore I feel right at home working with my fellow trustees, the family of educators at Piedmont Community College, and with you, the citizens of Person and Caswell counties.

The Board of Trustees has many responsibilities; however, the greatest desire of the Board is to embrace the mission, values, and vision of Piedmont Community

We encourage you to read this first edition of “PCC Today” as well as future editions, always remembering to take advantage of the opportunities offered to you. Piedmont Community College exists to serve you, the students, the citizens, and the communities.

P

iedmont Community College is the pride of the counties we serve! The College earned that reputation because it strives to create a holistic learning experience for our citizens. We know the importance of citizens having the skills necessary to perform the jobs that drive our local economy, but we also know that an increased global and cultural awareness is critical to the development of a creative and innovative workforce.

In espousing this philosophy, we are true to PCC’s mission to enrich lives through “lifelong learning, educational and training programs for today’s global workforce” and also to offer “cultural opportunities” for Person and Caswell counties.

We hope the many ways we’re accomplishing our mission will be apparent to you as you read our first edition of “PCC Today.” You will see the role PCC plays in economic development, job training, educational options, and creative and performing arts opportunities. We also hope that you will plan to take advantage of the many opportunities available to you at PCC!

“We invite you to become partners with PCC.” Walter Bartlett

We appreciate your support of the College; it is essential for our success and the success of our students. If you aren’t already involved, we invite you to become partners with PCC as we continue to serve you and our communities with pride!

ith activities in full swing at the Kirby Theater and its adjacent Kirby Gallery and recently-opened Kirby Studios learning spaces, uptown Roxboro is taking on a vibrant artistic vibe, and people are making their way uptown to take advantage of the cultural opportunities there. Seeing the need for more space, Piedmont Community College has begun a campaign to bring the second floor of the Kirby Theater complex back to life. The “Kirby Rebirth: Upstairs-Uptown” project’s goal is to raise $236,500 to bring the approximately 6,000 square foot space up to minimum code by adding an elevator, a new staircase, and upgraded restrooms. Possible uses for the space include a multipurpose room that could be used for theater productions, business retreats, family reunions, and lecture series or as additional classroom space. Other areas of the newly renovated space could be used for an additional art gallery, instructor offices and an artist-in-residence program and/or studio rentals.

PCC kicked off the public phase of the campaign in February with the announcement of a major matching gift of $50,000 from Roxboro Savings Bank. “We feel like this project will greatly benefit our community and our citizens,” said Jane Long, Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer, Roxboro Savings Bank.

Ganey holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Florida State University and a Master of Arts degree from The University of Westminster (England).

Ribbon cutting at the new EOC building

The Educational Opportunity Center relocated from Main Street, Roxboro, to 204 W. Barden St., Roxboro in April. The move to the new facility, owned by Person County Government, was made possible through a partnership between the Person County Commissioners and PCC. The new space, renovated by PCC, offers a warm and inviting atmosphere to EOC clients. The program is funded through a federal TRiO Educational Opportunity Center grant to provide counseling and information services to prospective college students in Person County and 10 other area counties.

The PCC Bookstore

on the Person County Campus is growing to better meet the needs of students, faculty, staff and the public. The expansion will include 1,200 square feet of renovated space and 1,500 square feet of new space. It also will feature an adjacent patio of approximately 1,300 square feet, providing a new gateway to the campus. General contractor Legacy Builders of Roxboro expects to complete the project in July.

The Person County Cosmetology Lab received a make-over during Fall Semester 2012. New cabinetry, tile flooring, paint, and window treatments along with modern work stations provide an attractive and state-of-the-art learning lab for cosmetology students putting the facility on par with the Caswell County Campus Cosmetology lab, which began operating in Fall 2007.

Cosmetology was one of the first programs offered by PCC in Person County. Classes were held in uptown Roxboro before moving to the current campus when it opened in 1977.

FINANCESof the College Energy Savings

Revenues

PCC’s Person and Caswell County Campuses are now more energy efficient as a result of recent improvements. Both campuses have been retrofitted with energy efficient exterior lighting in the parking lots, breezeways, and grounds as well as light sensors and window film. The improvements, funded through two State Energy Grants from the North Carolina State Energy Office, should result in reduced energy costs for the College as well as being environmentally responsible.

ACCREDITATION SACS Accreditation

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Commission on Colleges is currently completing its review of Piedmont Community College’s reaccreditation. SACS requires that an institution complete this review process every 10 years. As part of the review, PCC was required to: 1) complete a Compliance Certification document showing in detail that the College is in compliance with SACS Commission on Colleges standards; and 2) develop a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), a major improvement project that addresses student learning and success. A large number of PCC faculty, staff, and students participated in these two reaccreditation efforts.

A team of educators reviewed PCC’s Compliance Certification report off-campus. Another team made an on-site visit on Oct. 2-4, 2012, to further review both the Compliance Certification and the QEP. The College is currently responding to findings from the October visit and expects to receive notice of its reaccreditation status this summer.

PCC Students by the numbers

QR4U PCC selected Quantitative Reasoning for You (QR4U) as the topic for its five-year Quality Enhancement Plan. The purpose of PCC’s QEP is to improve students’ quantitative reasoning skills by implementing mathematics across the curriculum, using problem-solving and real-life applications. QR4U is the slogan to emphasize that quantitative reasoning is a skill that everyone needs in their daily lives. QR4U’s goals are: 1) to implement mathematics across the curriculum, using problemsolving and real-life applications; and 2) to improve students’ quantitative reasoning skills. Professional development activities have begun in preparation for implementing QR4U with students during Fall 2013.
