Belk Center Program Spotlight: Rural College Leaders Program

Through the Rural College Leaders Program, @isothermal_edu spent three years collaborating with the Belk Center, @AchieveTheDream and other colleges to explore strategies for removing barriers and closing gaps in institutional completion rates for students.

The results? Student successes that are being replicated at other institutions.

We are very excited to host @RepTimMooreNC and his staff on campus where they will provide valuable constituent services to our community members.

Yesterday, I hosted a ribbon cutting on the first of five district offices. This one is in Rutherford County, located on the campus of Isothermal Community College.

I want to thank the college and President Margaret Anunziata for their hospitality and for working with my staff to get this office up and running. I enjoyed seeing so many friends and community leaders that came out for this celebration.

Due to lingering ice on campus from this weekend's wintry weather, Isothermal will not open until 10 a.m. on Mon, Jan.13. Travel safely.

Thanks, @FormetcoSports! We are thrilled about the new sign and all of the people it will help us reach.

"When @AJJAEGER originated the Dallas Herring Lecture, her goal was to create a gathering that moves away from a traditional academic lecture and engages community college leaders in critical and emerging conversations about community college student success."

Thank you, @NCStateCED, for spotlighting the impact of the Dallas Herring Lecture on statewide community college initiatives.
