REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

EDUCATING AND EMPOWERING PEOPLE FOR SUCCESS published by PITT COMMUNITY COLLEGE and the PCC Foundation

OUR MISSION

is to educate and empower people for success

It is a joy to see success and development in so many corners of our service area thanks to the support of Pitt County, Foundation and Board of Trustees members, and a variety of stakeholders in the past year!

The expansion of the Craig Goess Student Center includes a new Bookstore, Student Lounge, Career Center, and expanded parking. These are commitments to students and their current and future success. Equally important, this demonstrates a strong partnership with our graduates and the entire community.

Pitt Community College remains committed to supporting completion of degrees and certificates. We also know that careers and additional university study are goals of students. We have expanded our customized training, work-based learning, pre-hiring programs, and regular communications with major employers. These direct benefits to Pitt County will have immediate and long-term results for individuals, families and the entire region.

Dr. G. Dennis Massey, President

Board of Trustee leadership has enabled PCC to begin the construction of the Science Building and Law Enforcement Center, to establish the Farmville Center as a catalyst for extending learning to the broader community, and to collaborate with Pitt County Schools by welcoming our first class of the Early College High School and by expanding programs in all Pitt County high schools.

Enjoy reviewing the 2014/15 highlights in this report. I invite you to become an active part of achieving our strategic goals and objectives!

2015 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

Pitt Community College celebrated employee achievements April 17, 2015 with the 32nd Annual Employee Appreciation and Recognition Evening at Rock Springs Center. Service awards were presented to 74 employees with a combined 760 years of service.

The PCC Men’s Resource Center presented its 2015 Man of Excellence Award to science instructor Charles Goodman (shown at left) in recognition of his dedication to higher education and student success. Tytishia “Ty” Davis (shown at right), counselor and coordinator of the college’s Student Assistance Program, was awarded the 2015 Woman of Substance Award.

AGE (Associate in General Education) instructor Don King is putting ‘community’ in community college. Three years ago, King packaged a pair of classes to create a ‘learning community’ for students pursuing health care careers. The goal, he said, was to help them adjust to college life and make well-informed decisions regarding their professional and academic plans.

Staff Excellence Awards were presented to five recipients this year (shown above l to r): Ayra Sundbom, Amy Harris, Ty Davis, Kathryn Minnick, and Kelly Moore (not pictured). This year’s Joan and Ed Warren Staff Employee of the Year Award was presented to Ty Davis. PCC Vice President of Administrative Services Rick Owens presented Davis with the award, citing her “wonderful rapport” with students and genuine concern for their well-being. He also noted her superb customer service skills, participation on college committees, and efforts to develop collaborative partnerships with various departments on campus.

“Bringing together that cohort back in 2011 allowed a connection to be established,” King said. “The students started to develop relationships; they started to understand the processes for succeeding in higher education.”

King says learning communities help students build important friendships they can maintain throughout their college careers.

Ultimately, King says, learning communities are, indeed, about helping students discover the educational pathways to achieve their goals. “At the end of the day, that’s what we want – for them to graduate and become what they want to become,” he said.

Five instructors (shown above l to r) – Krystal Sugg, Karen Lee, Wendy Perrini, Alison Flowers, and Rusty Sugg – were presented with Faculty Excellence Awards during the employee appreciation event. Of the five, Lee was named the 2015 Joseph E. Downing Award for Excellence in Teaching recipient. Lee, who serves as director of the college’s radiography program from which she graduated in 1982, has been described by her students as “exceedingly caring, encouraging, considerate and professional.” They say she “goes above and beyond” to provide them with everything needed for success in college and their future careers.

A LOOK BACK at the past year

TIME FOR A CHANGE Clear skies and frigid weather greeted PCC’s new clock tower on February 20, 2015, as the campus landmark was lifted into place outside the Ed and Joan Warren Building.

The 35-foot tower was purchased through funding from the Warren Estate as a gift to the PCC Foundation. Ed Warren, a former state senator and PCC employee, and his wife, Joan, a former PCC trustee, were longtime supporters of the college before passing away in 2003 and 2002, respectively.

PCC’s newest addition is located near the geographical center of campus. It features a four-sided clock and carillons

and will also be equipped with an emergency notification system as part of the college’s ongoing commitment to campus security.

The PCC Alumni Association is sponsoring landscaping projects to surround the tower, starting with a brick-purchasing program. People can purchase customized bricks ($75 each or $100 for two) that will form a patio at the tower’s base by calling (252) 493-7287.

The PCC Student Government Association is also sponsoring additional landscaping and honorary benches for the clock tower site.

EXPANSION OF CAREER SERVICES BENEFITS STUDENTS A little more than a year after construction began on Phase II of the Craig F. Goess Student Center, Pitt Community College held a ceremony to introduce the public to the completed new addition. On April 20, 2015, the college held an open house in Goess that featured remarks from various PCC administrators, tours, and Craig F. Goess joining Winterville Mayor Doug Jackson and others for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

At a cost of $3.58 million, PCC added 15,000 square feet to Goess to house the college bookstore and a variety of services, including a career center, student lounge, offices, conference rooms, and a 45-station computer lab.

“PCC is focused on college completion and workforce development,” said PCC President G. Dennis Massey. “The expansion of the Craig F. Goess Student Center includes important resources to support our students’ success.”

One very important area included in the expansion is Career Services as it provides the opportunity for students and alumni to: • Learn about the world of work, and how to prepare for career success, • Complete career assessments to assist with choosing a major or career, • Enhance job search tactics, • Develop resumes and cover letters, • Practice interviewing through mock interviews, • Attend professional development events such as Career Fairs and Employer Information Sessions, • Receive job postings from area employers, and • Research possible internships and/or coops.

2015 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

The Career Services Office engages and supports the PCC Community by assisting students in achieving their educational and career goals.

HELPING STUDENTS FIND THEIR “Way to Success” is a campus-wide initiative that will help students be successful by building mentoring relationships and making access to college resources more readily available.

This initiative engages faculty & staff at all levels to provide support and assistance to students to help them achieve their educational goals. One component of this system is designed to identify students who can benefit from proactive strategies that can help students be successful. Once identified, these students will be linked with a

Success Coach who can provide timely feedback and initiate measures to increase the likelihood of the student’s success. Success Coaches engage with students face-to-face and/or by email or other methods of correspondence to help them identify obstacles they might be having that affect their success in school. Success Coaches are there to be a support system for students and to help them make plans for their future.

This initiative was piloted in Fall 2013 and, to date, over 2900 students have

been involved in Way to Success.

Success Coaches come from all divisions of the college and include faculty, staff, and even part-time employees. In 20142015, this initiative was expanded to include off-campus Community Partners who are functioning as Success Coaches to help support our students.

GROWTH OF CONTINUING EDUCATION DIVISION GIVES COMMUNITY GREATER OPTIONS Through the NCWorks Customized Training Program, PCC’s Continuing Education Division is able to offer services to local businesses and industries. This includes professional development for existing employees as well as services to help identify and/or train potential employees.

Employees are trained in areas such as Safety, Leadership, Computer Skills, Customer Service, Project Management and are provided technical training such as welding, GD&T, Thermodynamics, PLC, Lean/6 Sigma, HVAC, Soldering, Auto Cad, HASSAP, ISO and Quality.

Last year, $149,000 was expended to offer this training at no cost to these employees.

Many classes are offered at no cost, while others are offered at a cost well below what employers expect to pay.

By customizing training, PCC

works in conjunction with each employer to meet the company’s specific needs.

Services are provided on a schedule determined by the employer so as to result in the least amount of impact on their production. Most classes can be held at the company location to eliminate travel time for participants.

PCC’s corporate trainers work with companies to obtain the most benefit from training in the shortest time possible, again all intended to reduce the impact on production time.

Last year, PCC held 62 classes and trained 662 incumbent employees working in local industries. In the past five years, 17 customized training projects have been completed that have brought a total of $1.2 million to Pitt County. The training has also helped three of the companies earn International Organization for Standardization certification and 15 workers earn Lean Six Sigma green belts.

PITT COUNTY SCHOOLS early college high school

EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL WELCOMES CLASS OF 2020 Back in August of 2014, The Pitt County Board of Education approved a memorandum of agreement for the Pitt County Schools STEM Early College High School. The school was to open with about 75 students in the fall of 2015 with the help of Pitt Community College. The five-year program would start at the freshman year and conclude with students earning a high school diploma and an associate’s degree or coursework to transfer to college.

The school received approval from the State Board of Education in December of 2014, and a principal was named in January 2015. Kinston resident Wynn Whittington was selected to lead the new high school that is now located on the Pitt Community College campus. A Kinston city councilman, Whittington has 18 years of experience in education that

includes principal positions at Kinston High School, Contentnea Elementary School and Lenoir County Early College High School.

Pitt County rising 9th grade students applied to the new early college high school, and 75 students were accepted.

Students and parents attended an orientation and meet-and-greet session in June of 2015. The first date of class was August 10, and the excitement could be felt in the air. The “legacy class” headed to Pitt Community College’s campus on Monday morning for their first classes, two weeks before their counterparts in traditional public schools start. The early college will allow them to complete both their high school diploma and an associate’s degree in five years. Their high school curriculum will be more rigorous than that in a

“We couldn’t have asked for a better partner institution (PCC) to work with. To open the campus to 14-year-olds is pretty amazing. Their willingness and cooperation and seeing the vision of what we can do has truly been great.”

2015 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY

Message from the Director The success of any foundation is dependent upon its investments. For four decades the Pitt Community College Foundation has been investing its resources into making a positive difference in the lives of local students by providing student scholarships to support their success in their college completion and preparation for careers. The PCC Foundation has also invested its resources in supporting programs, technology, and capital construction projects to support the college’s success. That support is a solid investment in the future of our community.

During 2014-2015, the Pitt Community College Foundation dedicated its efforts to developing relationships and resources for the College to provide funding for both essential and innovative services. The PCC Foundation contributed $792,240 for student scholarships, mini-grants, and program services and contributions to support the college’s mission and students’ success. $291,904 was awarded for student scholarships. Program services funds totaled $446,364 for student academic excellence recognition, educational programs, equipment, employee recognition and professional development.

During the spring of 2015, the PCC Foundation partnered with Farmville community leaders to secure over $78,000 in private contributions and grants to support the renovation of a facility on Main Street in Farmville where the new PCC Farmville Center will be located. The PCC Farmville Center will provide both credit and non-credit courses beginning in Spring Semester 2016.

Generous contributions, in-kind gifts, and planned gifts from individuals, alumni, businesses, foundations, and organizations in Eastern North Carolina have been essential to the success of Pitt Community College and the PCC Foundation.

Now more than ever, the PCC Foundation is implementing methods to ensure donors that their contributions for PCC scholarships, educational activities, and capital projects are good investments. This annual report documents the results of those efforts.

– Susan Nobles, Executive Director, PCC Foundation

Message from the Foundation Board Our Foundation Board members are very proud of the students’ success in the classrooms, their completion of their degrees, and their entry into the local workforce. We know that PCC graduates are working in many different technical professions throughout our county and region.

Collectively, our alumni provide many of the most essential services that support the quality of life in our community. Because of the important roles that the college and its graduates play in the success of our community, we are dedicated to seeking resources to support the students and the college.

Foundation Board Officers (l to r): Diane Waters (Chair), Miles Minges (Vice Chair), Jim Foster (Secretary), and Ricky Brown (Treasurer)

Successful fundraising special events during 2014-2015 including the Fall Golf Classic, the Down East Holiday Show, the Accelerating the Future Spring Scholarship event, and the Annual Excellence Fund Campaign also provided much of the funding for the Foundation’s activities. The expansion of Alumni Relations activities and the addition of PCC retiree events allowed the Foundation to reconnect with some of the College’s most vital stakeholders.

Much of the PCC Foundation’s success during 2014-2015 can be attributed to the leadership and support of an active board of directors, dedicated staff, donors, and over 150 volunteers who support the foundation’s events and activities. We sincerely appreciate the work and support that each of these groups provides for our College.

You can assist the PCC Foundation in its continuous effort to focus on student success by making contributions to our Annual Excellence Fund Campaign, developing a planned gift, initiating a scholarship or program fund, or attending our outstanding special events. Contact the PCC Foundation at www.pittccfoundation.com or call 252-493-7210 to learn more about how you can contribute. Together, we can continue to make a significant difference for our college and our community.

Accelerating the Future

Down East Holiday Show

The first “Accelerating the Future” event was held March 6, 2015 in the Construction and Industrial Technology building on the PCC campus. Guests enjoyed an evening of hors d’oeuvres, drinks, dinner, and dessert along with show cars, silent auction, and student testimonials. They were able to tour the automotive labs and talk with the students as well. The event raised $34,519.82. Additional in-kind donations totaled $4,208.33. The evening was also the kickoff for a Mercedes-Benz car raffle. The PCC Foundation offered guests the first opportunity to purchase $100 tickets for a chance to win a 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 4Matic Sedan. Only 2000 tickets were going to be sold. Drawing will be held on November 8, 2015 at the Down East Holiday Show.

The 2014 Down East Holiday Show exceeded its previous earnings with the largest ever attendance as well as proceeds in its thirteen-year history. With 152 vendors selling a wide variety of merchandise, a record 12,508 shoppers attended and generated $115,907.54 (includes in-kind donations). Proceeds from this event provide scholarships and educational activities for PCC students.
