2 / Alamance Community College 2016-17 Annual Report

from theCollege President

Community colleges have been likened to the Swiss Army knife of higher education.

Community colleges prepare students for specialty career fields—nursing, machining, or business management for example—or to transfer to a four-year institution. They provide equivalency degrees for those not finishing high school. They train our firefighters, police and paramedics. They keep profes-sional credentials current. They provide personal enrichment classes to life-long learners. And they provide customized training for business and industry.

They do all that and more. I hope this year’s annual report provides you a glimpse into how our College is serving our community.

This year’s theme is “Taking Care of Business” and you will find in this report tangible evidence of Alamance Community College’s role in workforce training and economic development. Both go a long way in recruiting new industry and retaining the businesses that we have.

One example is the recently-opened Advanced Applied Technology Cen-ter. This $16 million, state-of-the-art facility has allowed us to expand and enhance the five programs housed there: Mechatronics, Computer-Integrated Machining, Welding, Air Conditioning-Heating-Refrigeration and Automotive Systems.

Mechatronics Engineering Technology—one of the first new curriculum programs introduced in more than 16 years—is a direct response to needs voiced by such advanced manufacturers as GKN and Sandvik.

What soon followed was the Career Accelerator Program—a partnership between our public schools, our Chamber of Commerce, a consortium of lo-cal manufacturing firms and the College. This apprentice program trains high school students in critical Mechatronics and Machining skills and transitions them seamlessly into high-demand local manufacturing jobs.

Related to this is our new MechTech Institute—a series of workshops in which we teach public high school teachers how to incorporate the prin-ciples of Mechatronics into their math and science curriculum. This Institute is meant to pique high school student interest in exciting careers in their own backyard.

A similar strategy informs our Ladies in Technology and our Medical Bridge enrichment programs.

This report also captures a college’s rhythms of life: graduations, awards, VIP visits, collaborations with area universities, efforts to ensure student success, and how we are empowering our graduates to compete in a 21st century economy.

I hope that as you review this report, you will take considerable pride in how we are not only taking care of business but the larger community as well

Taking Care of Business

Just over a year since its 2016 groundbreaking ceremony, the $16 million, 55,000 square foot state-of-the-art Advanced Applied technology center opened for industrial students on August 21, 2017,just in time for the first day of classes in five key industrial technology programs: Automotive Systems Technology, Welding Technology, Air Conditioning/Heating/Refrigeration, Computer-Integrated Machining, and Mechatronics Engineering Technology.

The Center is the most sophisticated and ambitious capital project since the College was founded in 1958. It was funded through actions taken by the Alamance County Board of Commissioners.

“This is a game-changer for the College, for our students and for local busi-ness and industry,” said College President Dr. Algie Gatewood. “This facility represents more than bricks and mortar. It represents this College’s role in addressing a skills gap that continues to impact local business and industry. Through this facility, Alamance Community College will enlarge, enhance and fill a pipeline of skilled workers desperately needed by local employers.”

The Center is expected to play a role in business recruitment and industry retention in Alamance County. North Carolina ranks 4th nationally in manu-facturing jobs and is the largest manufacturing state in the Southeast.

“Not only does it ensure the safest and highest level of instruction possible for our students, it is the answer to local industry’s call to graduate this work-force in larger numbers and graduate them much sooner,” said Bill Gomery, ACC Board of Trustees Chairman.

College President Dr. Algie Gatewood (center) and other leaders cut the ribbon in front of the new Advanced Applied Technology Center (AATC) at Alamance Community College during an October 2017 grand opening.

U.S. Representative Mark Walker was among the featured speakers at the grand opening.



Following a six-month discernment process involving a range of community leaders, the College launched a Center of Excellence linked to its highly-respected Biotechnology program. ACC’s Biotechnology program is the longest-running two-year program of its kind in the nation and boasts the most complete biomanufacturing suite of any North Carolina community college.

Among early initiatives linked to the Center of Excellence were talks with Syngenta Biotechnology Inc. in the Research Triangle Park about future partnerships and collaborations; and approval for a Histotechnology program that began in fall 2017. Histotechnology equips students with the skills needed to prepare tissue specimens for microscopic examina-tion to identify abnormalities and formulate treatment strate-gies. This program and skills set was identified by the local and regional bioscience industry as workforce development needs for Alamance County.

An Executive Director for the Center of Excellence was hired in spring 2017. Yonnie Butler brings 30 years of experience in economic development, project management, medical re-search collaboration, higher education and biotechnology.

The Center’s mission is to serve as a regional hub for in-novative, industry-supported and technology-based workforce development and jobs in the rapidly expanding field of bio-technology that supports the economic vitality of Alamance County.

Alamance Community College is positioned—geographi-cally and strategically–in the middle of North Carolina’s most

active biotechnology corridor. Indeed, Burlington is the nation’s #1 small Metropolitan Statistical Area for research, testing and medical labs. The growth rate in bioscience jobs in Alamance County doubled from 1,982 jobs in 2009 to 3,958 in 2014.

“Industry needs a highly-skilled workforce and Alamance Community College will deliver,” College President Dr. Algie Gatewood said. “This Center opens an opportunity to rebrand the College as a

leader in advanced applied technologies. It allows us to more clearly demonstrate a strategic alignment with a competitive and global 21st century economy,” Gatewood said. “We hope to serve as an economic development magnet.

Gatewood noted that the Center of Excellence is jobs-focused, showcasing the College’s commitment to workforce training and its vital role in retaining current industry and attracting new industry to Alamance County.

Next on the agenda: Construction of a $5.4 million facil-ity that will house the Center, a business incubator, and a conference center. As Executive Director, Butler is expected to build partnerships with area bio-science, government and higher education leaders to help launch new programs that attract new industry and help retain existing industry.

Mechatronics Engineering Technology Enrollment

“All companies are facing an aging workforce and a skills gap…so we have to develop our own technical workforce for the future. We’ve chosen to do it through the mechatronics program that’s provided at Alamance Community College.”

—Jim BRyAnPresident/owner, Fairystone Fabrics

Acc’s mechatronics engineering technology program—the college’s first new curriculum program in 16 years when it started in the fall 2016 semester—experienced vast change in its initial year of operation. Begin-ning with 14 students, the enrollment increased by more than 300% to 61 students in fall 2017. Last summer Mechatronics and four other industrial programs moved from outdated, confining spaces in the main building into the new 55,000 square foot Advanced Applied Technology Center.

Mechatronics—which began at ACC to satisfy a need by local advanced manufacturers to fill a skills gap—covers a broad career field in which me-chanical, computer engineering, and robotics intersect. It concentrates more on the systems of machines and requires greater skills in areas such as math and physics. It allows more focus on students interacting with a control de-vice and the actual mechanical devices.

“All companies are facing an aging workforce and a skills gap…so we have to develop our own technical workforce for the future. We’ve chosen to do it through the mechatronics program that’s provided at Alamance Community College,” said Jim Bryan, president/owner of Fairystone Fabrics in Burlington.

Because ACC is a really good partner with local industries, the College de-veloped the Mechatronics program with a lot of input from manufacturers and industries in Alamance County.

Because Mechatronics has good foundations in both electrical and me-chanical devices, it will ride the path of technological change going forward. Mechatronics will be marketable 20 years from now just as it is today.



Chamber Invites More Businesses to Participate

New businesses are encour-aged to join the Career Accelera-tor Program partnership. “The ability to place more students at more companies, and to have full classes in the ACC Mecha-tronics program is beneficial to all involved,” says Andrea Fleming, the Chamber’s Direc-tor of Existing Industry Services. Companies may join at any time and the Chamber will meet with companies individually, invite them to planning meetings, and invite them to observe at up-coming orientations.

mechatronics Apprentices make Big Strides at local companies

“The apprenticeship program was created to ensure the future of manufacturing in Alamance County and for companies to continue to prosper and prepare for the future.”

—tAB JoyceBusiness Controller, Sandvik Coromant

the first of eight career Accelerator Program (cAP) student apprentices completed requirements for the mechatronics engineering technology Basic certificate in 2016.

Justin Padmos, a graduate of the ABSS Middle College, and Trevor Coffey, a graduate of Eastern Alamance High School, were the first of the apprentices to move forward toward a credential in the program overseen by NC Works.

The Career Accelerator Program (CAP) is a partnership of the College and Alamance-Burlington Schools, the Alamance Chamber, and seven local manufacturing-based companies. The apprenticeship provides students the opportunity to earn while they learn and the companies benefit by training and developing an employee to meet specific needs of their workforce. Tuition and books at ACC are paid for by the company. At the end of the program, an apprentice will have an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Mechatronics Engineering Technology; a Journeyman Certificate from the N.C. Department of Commerce; 6,400 hours of on-the-job training; a guaranteed job with the company; and no school debt.

“This is a direct reflection of the College’s ongoing commitment to address-ing a skills gap in our own community and building a workforce that can thrive in a very competitive 21st century global economy,” said ACC President Dr. Algie Gatewood.

The second CAP cohort began their apprenticeships in fall 2017.



Acc launches Single Stop to Help Students complete credentials

the college works on student retention in many ways: Academic advising; Academic Skills lab; Financial Aid and emergency assistance; and through career advising, personal counseling and academic planning in the college’s newly named Student Success center.

In late fall 2016, the College added to its student retention pro-grams by launching Single Stop in the Student Success Center. Single Stop is a multi-layered coaching service focused on helping low in-come students overcome personal and financial obstacles so they can stay in school and graduate to improve their futures. Another Single Stop location can be found at the College’s Dillingham Center.

In the first nine months of operation: X 231 students went through the Single Stop assessment process and were counseled regarding wrap-around services, community assistance, and academic matters

X 48 students were confirmed eligible for public benefits or other referral X ACC Single Stop users accessed more than $651,000 in public benefits during that period X Compared to other North Carolina Single Stop sites in similar-sized community colleges during their first year of operation, ACC screened and assessed a higher percentage of its student body and had a higher percentage of students confirmed for receipt of benefits. The total benefits drawn down were more than twice the average of the other North Carolina sites in their first year of operation.

All Single Stop services are free for the College’s students and family members who qualify. Single Stop is funded by ACC and a start-up grant from Single Stop and the John M. Belk Foundation.

Currently Single Stop has 125 sites in nine states. ACC is the fifth community college site for Single Stop in North Carolina.

mechtech institute Partners with ABSS educators

through a $200,000 grant, the Acc Foundation kicked off a new program—the mechtech institute—in late summer 2017 as more than a dozen Alamance-Burlington high school STEM instructors began a series of workshops aimed at maximizing student awareness and interest in mechatronics education and career paths. The program is expected to impact more than 700 local high school students over three years as the ABSS teachers share their knowledge in the classroom to help build a sustainable pipeline of qualified and diverse students from high school through college into the mechatronics workforce.

The MechTech Institute’s project goals will be achieved by providing professional development to ABSS high school STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) instructors and counselors through:

X One-day workshops during the school year and a week-long summer workshop, each providing participants

with mechatronics materials and equipping them to integrate mechatronics-based lesson plans, project kits and hands-on activities into their STEM classes

X Exposure to the mechatronics workplace through industry tours, speakers, and makers-guild events

X An online resource community providing participants with ongoing support X The program is financed by a $200,000 National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education grant.

ABSS teachers learned more about Mechatronics during a fall 2017 tour of Sandvik in Mebane.

New Eagle ACCess Transfer Program Alamance community college and north carolina central university (nccu) in Durham signed a memorandum of understanding launching “eagle Access,” a bi-lateral partnership agreement.

The partnership establishes eight as-sociate- and bachelor-degree programs between ACC and NCCU, including several hybrid courses. Among these are pathways to earn bachelor degrees in Pharmaceuti-cal Sciences, Hospitality and Tourism Administration, and Child Development and Family Relations.

“The new partnership with Alamance Community College is in keeping with NCCU’s goal of expanding our partnerships with community colleges and our footprint throughout the state of North Carolina, for those individuals seeking to obtain a high-quality education and succeed in jobs that are in high demand,” said Johnson O. Akinleye, Ph.D., interim chancellor of NCCU.

“By closing the skills gap in technical fields and opening doors to high-paying ca-reers, it’s such a win-win for our students and industry. Collaborating on educational pathways like this ensures workforce development and the economic vitality of Alamance County,” said Dr. Algie Gate-wood, ACC President.

New Program Offers ACC Students Co-Admission to UNCGAlamance community college students who are interested in com-pleting their bachelor’s degree at the university of north carolina at greensboro now have a fresh opportunity to get started with a new co-admission program that guarantees university enrollment if they earn an associate’s degree and maintain a 2.00 GPA while at ACC.

Beginning in fall 2017, the Spartan Passage Co-Admission Program provides a pathway for ACC students toward full admission to UNCG but with only a single application and a waived UNCG fee. ACC students who opt into this program will have full access to UNCG services before they transfer: All UNCG library services, on-site advising, coordinated federal and financial aid disbursement, access to computer services, sports and campus activities, and more.

The core values of this new agreement between ACC and UNCG are multi-layered, but is largely designed to improve the success of student transfer rates between the institutions; expand educational choices; provide ready access to comprehensive support services regardless of student loca-tion; and coordinate seamless administration of admission, financial aid and other student support services.

Students admitted to the Co-Admission Program will work toward a bachelor’s degree in one of 56 majors at UNCG. Johnson says another ad-vantage for ACC students is that they may take certain classes at both ACC and UNCG simultaneously—such as those in ACC’s transfer program and UNCG’s Elementary Education program—as a way to matriculate toward the bachelor’s degree program in a timely manner.

“What this program does is allow our students to link their studies with programs at UNCG, and provides them access to many university perks before they actually transfer,” said Cathy Johnson, Vice President of Instruc-tion at ACC.

“We at Alamance Community College are very grateful and excited to partner with UNCG on this initiative that creates a pathway for many of our students to qualify for guaranteed admission and accessibility to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro,” said ACC President Dr. Algie Gatewood.

ACC News

Alamance community college, in partnership with unc greensboro, earned approval as a national writing Project (nwP) site in early 2017 that will help teachers and students from surrounding areas become better writers and teachers of writing.

ACC is the only community college in North Carolina to be so designated. It is partnering with UNC-Greensboro to serve the central part of the state for teachers to think deeply about writing and teaching writing.

The Piedmont Voices Writing project is co-directed by ACC English instructor Courtney Doi and Jeanie Reynolds, Director of English Education at UNC-Greensboro.

As part of the NWP network, the Piedmont Voices Writing Project provides professional development for teachers by teach-ers, as well as opportunities for the teachers in the area to focus on themselves as writers and new ways to take up writing in the K-16 classroom.

The ACC Foundation awarded Doi a Faculty/Staff grant last year for a mini-institute on writing, which was the preliminary

step to establishing this National Writing Project site. The mini-institute brought together elementary, middle, high school, GED, ESL and college teachers from across Alamance County to discuss writing, to demonstrate their teaching practices, to provide input on this site, and most importantly, to write.

The Piedmont Voices Writing Project continued in summer 2017 with a writing camp for middle-school students, funded by the ACC Foundation, and a Summer Institute for K-16 teachers.

ACC’s Courtney Doi (3rd from right), with area teachers, coordinated the Summer Writing Institute on the college campus.

nc governor Visits Acc, Discusses issues

n.c. governor Roy cooper visited Alamance community college in June for a scheduled table top discussion, tour and press conference.

During his one-hour appearance on the main Graham campus, the governor sat down for a private round-table discussion with Dr. Algie Gatewood, ACC President; Cathy Johnson, Vice President of Instruction; trustees Dr. Richard Fisher and Bill Gomery; Miasha To-rain, Interim Medical Assisting Dept. Head; Yonnie Butler, Executive Director of the Biotechnology Center of Excellence; and students Kyle Young, Carlos Mosqueda, Kamara Troxler, and Sophia Allred.

The governor concluded his brief visit by touring Biotechnology and Medical Assisting before he held a press conference in the biotechnology lab for area media covering the event.

“ACC has been a leader in community colleges across North Carolina. One of the reasons I came is because they are making advances in technology and are working closely with businesses on getting people better-paying jobs,” Cooper said. “What we have to do from a state perspective is give the community colleges the tools that they need, and try and make the college education experience for people who are trying to enter the workforce less expensive.”

While at ACC, the Governor emphasized his proposed NC GROW Scholarship program which would provide free tuition to any NC community college to students who graduate high school with a 2.0 GPA or higher. NC GROW, to be funded via the NC Lottery, would cover tuition and fees for students who have used up other financial aid options.

High school students enrolled in Acc’s career and college Promise (ccP) program set a new record at commencement 2017 as 78 students earned college credit credentials—the highest number yet since the program’s 2012 inception. The popular CCP state program allows qualified high school students to take community college courses for free, following a specific pathway that can lead to college credits, certificates, and the Associate in Arts and/or Associate in Science degrees that are transferable to four-year institutions.

The 78 graduates include: X 15 high school students earned Associate in Arts degrees with 60+ college credits

X 13 high school students were University Transfer Pathway completers earning 32+ college credits

X 50 ABSS high school students earned certificates or diplomas in various career technical programs including Criminal Justice Technology, Computer-Integrated Machining, Accounting, Culinary Arts, Advertising and Graphic Design, Automotive Systems Technology, Horticulture Technology, Information Technology, Animal Care Management, Early Childhood Education, and Fire Protection Technology

Overall, the College’s 2017 Spring Commencement awarded 1077, its largest group in five years: 891 curriculum, 153 High School Equivalency, and 33 AHS (Adult High School).

college, Alamance county conduct two ‘Active Shooter’ exercises

the college, in conjunction with Burlington emergency response personnel, participated in two joint emergency exercises at the Dillingham Center in the summer of 2017.

Anyone near the scene witnessed a large number of law enforcement and emergency vehicles on-site as this real-world scenario of two ac-tive shooters was played out to test how well the College functions and communicates while working with Burlington emergency responders. This simulation was preceded by a joint table-top exercise and several plan-ning meetings.

“This was an excellent way to perfect our campus emergency response plan in the event we ever have to face such an event,” said ACC Presi-dent Dr. Algie Gatewood. “I commend our College personnel, including our Public Safety team, as well as all the emergency responders—City of Burlington Police and Fire departments, Alamance Emergency Medical Services, Alamance County Sheriff’s Office, and the Office of Emergency Management.”

These exercises were the second time in five years that ACC partnered with local law enforcement, fire and rescue for a large-scale campus emergency simulation. The College routinely holds other drills such as evacuation, shelter-in-place and lock down at both the Graham and Burl-ington campuses.

“We are far better off now as a College to deal with such a scenario,” added Dr. Gatewood. “Although we sincerely hope such an event never occurs on our campus, it is far better to be prepared. We will continue to work to ensure that we maintain a safe campus for our students, faculty, staff, and guests.”

ACC Dental Assisting Receives Excellent Accreditation Reportthe Dental Assisting program received notice of full compliance with north carolina regulations following an accreditation self-study visit by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, a national organiza-tion affiliated with the American Dental Association.

“Everything the site visit team reviewed, including program curricu-lum, objectives, clinical experiences, and assessments were found to be at or above expectations,” said David Frazee, Dean of Health and Public Services at ACC.

Frazee added that the lead site visitor stated that the Self Study document the Dental Assisting department prepared “was detailed, very well written and included all of the necessary requirements.”

ACC’s Dental Assisting Program is led by Janelle Christopher, Depart-ment Head. Instructors are Donna Pruitt, Joanna Roberts, and Kristi Hussey.

gene Haas Foundation Donates $15,000 for Acc machining ProgramsThe College received a $15,000 donation from

the Gene Haas Foundation toward machining-based scholarships that include engineering and mechatronics. The ACC Foundation administers the funds.

Donations like this help students from Graham, Cummings, Williams and Eastern Alamance High Schools who enroll in ACC’s Career and College Promise program who follow a track to earn credentials in Computer-Aided Machining.

Career and College Promise provides seamless dual enrollment educational opportunities for eligible North Carolina high school students. As part of the program, students can accelerate completion of college certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees that lead to college transfer or provide entry-level job skills. Career and College Promise saves families money and gives students a head start on rewarding career opportunities.

Sights of outdoor competition like this will be seen across the ACC campus in March 2018 when hundreds of landscape students and professionals arrive in Alamance County.

ACC President Dr. Algie Gatewood (center) accepts a donation from Ed Blackburn of Phillips Corporation of Colfax, surrounded by Career and College Promise high school students.

“This is a great opportunity for us to showcase our program, college and community. For a few days we will be the center of the horticulture industry.”

—JuStin SnyDeRDean of Industrial Technologies and

former Horticulture Technology Department Head

come march 2018, the Acc campus will be overrun by more than one thousand horticulture students and professionals from across the united States in what is certain to provide the Graham-based school—and Alamance County—national recognition.

Alamance Community College and its Horticulture Technology Department were named as the host site for the 2018 National Collegiate Landscape Competition, sponsored by the National Association of Landscape Profes-sionals (NALP).

Awarding a community college the host duties is a rare occurrence in the annals of the National Association of Landscape Professionals. Since 1977, only four community colleges have served as host site and in most of those occasions the community college was in a large metropolitan arena.

Bringing this national event to the ACC campus is expected to be a signifi-cant marketing and public relations opportunity—as well as an economic boost to Alamance County. The event will run March 12-17, 2018 and the competition—along with various daily activities—attracts major media attention. Area hotels, restaurants, and retail outlets are expected to receive a boost from the event.

The agenda for this annual event—now in the hands of Alamance Community Col-lege—will include scheduling a day of workshops led by industry professionals, a ca-reer fair featuring more than 100 top landscape companies from across the U.S., and hundreds of participants pitting their horticulture skills in numerous competitions.

“It is a tribute to the College and to ACC’s award-winning Horticulture Technology program that the National Association of Landscape Professionals wants to bring their most visible annual event to our campus,” said ACC President Dr. Algie Gatewood.

medical Bridge camp motivates young minority males

Alamance community college, in partnership with the Alamance-Burlington School System, addressed the gross under-representation of minority men in medical fields with a county-wide initiative intended to increase application and matriculation rates for those pursuing medical degrees.

For three weeks in July 2017, 40 minority male middle school students participated in the College’s first-ever Medical Bridge Summer Camp—a three-week intensive immersion into math, science and writing programs that lays the groundwork for success in medical and STEM careers. The camp was funded by a donation from an anonymous local family foundation.

Additionally, those students interacted with mentors and role models during field trips to Duke University Medical Center, UNC Medical School, and other sites.

The goal is to develop a holistic approach that addresses the belief gap, the interest gap, the knowledge gap and the resources gap that are barriers to entry for prospective minority male participants. Such barriers are responsible for a paucity of minority men in medicine.

The summer camp experience prepares the students for the ABSS Early College experience, creating a pathway to ACC’s tuition-free Career & College Promise classes.

The College plans to seamlessly transition these students from middle school through high school and on into college course work for two years at ACC. Students then would transfer to a four-year college or university to continue their training.

Becoming a medical doctor is a long and difficult process, but this initiative increases the likelihood of success.

“We are encouraged by the local interest shown in this program,” said Dr. Gatewood. “We immediately filled each of the 40 available scholarship slots and there is a waiting list for the next cohort.”

Young male students engage in a hands-on activity during last summer’s Medical Bridge Camp.

The goal is to develop a holistic approach that addresses the belief gap, the interest gap, the knowledge gap and the resources gap that are barriers to entry for prospective minority male participants.

High School Students meet DnA in Bio Academy

eleven area high school students were indoctrinated into the world of biotechnology and DnA during an intensive Bio Academy summer work-shop on the Acc campus.

The rising sophomore, junior, and senior high school participants were selected through an application process conducted by Professor Emeritus Bill Woodruff, who ran the department from 1987 until his retirement in 2016.

Over the four-day hands-on camp, the Alamance-Burlington Schools stu-dents learned how to manipulate DNA, extract proteins from cells, and grow bacterial and mammalian cells in cultures. The goal of the camp was to introduce biotechnology and higher science concepts to students in a hands-on environment in an effort to steer them toward careers in these areas.

The College’s Biotechnology pro-gram is the longest-running two-year program of its kind in the United States.

‘ladies in technology’ engages women in Stem careers

Acc’s information technology department initiated a free computer curriculum for female high school students as part of an effort to engage more young women in Stem-related careers.

The Ladies in Technology program was established to address the inadequate representation of women in the tech industry. While there are several unfilled tech jobs and a growing dependence on technology, a gap persists between male and female representation in the industry. The Ladies in Technology program introduces technology courses and careers to young ladies.

“By opening opportunities to those who may not know about technical job opportunities, we close the gender and skills gap that exist in the tech field,” said Lakeisha Vance, Department Head for Computer Information Technology.

Students start with an introduction to computer basics, study programming concepts, explore database design, and receive exposure to web development. In addition, they receive an education about career opportunities and college preparation. By the time they finish, these young women have a better understanding of the path from high school to a technology career.

“We’ve had students participate from Western Alamance, Cummings, CTEC, and Williams high schools this year,” said Vance. “We want to grow this program to build a brighter future for women and families in Alamance County.”

The first year of the program was sponsored by a grant through the ACC Foundation that helped provide books and cover travel expenses.

ABSS high school students are learning about opportunities for women in STEM-related careers at ACC.

ABSS middle School campers

learn About DnA in Biotech lab

About 30 rising 7th and 8th grade students from an Alamance-Burlington Schools middle school summer camp were treated to a hands-on lesson in ACC’s Biotechnology department. Funded by a National Science Foundation “Students Discover” grant, the camp emphasized citizen science—the idea that all citizens can be part of scientific discovery and research. ACC Biotechnology department head Michelle Sabaoun taught the students the basics of DNA and how it’s used in identification of people by having the campers use their own cheek cell samples to extract DNA and simulate how it is analyzed. Bringing the middle school students to ACC is another example of how the College is introducing science and industrial career opportunities to youngsters before they enter high school.

Science olympiad on Acc campusFor the third consecutive year, Alamance community college hosted the Piedmont triad elementary Science olympiad on Saturday, April 1. Hundreds of students representing 19 elementary and grade schools competed in events ranging from home-made rocket launches, marshmallow catapult, data crunchers, and STEM design challenge. While these students were competing for medals, their parents and siblings were entertained and educated by ACC Math Club volunteers showcasing math games and puzzles, and Biotechnology students leading guests through extracting banana DNA and viewing under a microscope. Once again, hundreds more students and parents were introduced to the ACC campus and its offerings.

ACC Literacy Newsgrant Supports eSl Students

transition to college Programs

Alamance community college was awarded a $58,500 grant by the State Board of community colleges to help english as a Second language (eSl) students transition more successfully to college level programs.

The grant enables ACC’s Integrated English Literacy/Civics Educa-tion Program to implement several key components: an ESL bridge course to prepare students to write successfully in several different career content areas; enrolling ESL students in a Microsoft Digital Literacy Certification course; hiring part-time Transition Advisors to speak with ESL classes and counsel students individually to help them create career plans.

Approximately 40 ESL students participated in the Microsoft Digital Literacy class offered as part of the grant. About 100 additional

students benefited from presenta-tions and individual advising about further training options at ACC.

“We have many ESL students success-fully completing our program and going on to obtain better jobs in their fields as well as college degrees and diplomas. This grant enhances our capacity to support

even more ESL students with furthering their career and educational goals,” said Claire Ricci, Director of Academic and Career Readiness.

The Integrated English Literacy/Civics Education Program, which was fund-ed to begin July 1, 2016, was renewed and will run until June 30, 2018. To qualify for the funding, Academic and Career Readiness staff were required to participate in two webinars, submit a developed curriculum, and submit quarterly reports.

Acc, elon Partner on Village Project, eSl classes for Parents

Beginning fall 2016, Alamance community college offered english as a Second language (eSl), geD and financial literacy classes for parents of children in elon university’s it takes a Village Project. The parent outreach encompasses the two-generational approach of the Village Project. Elon University had received a $1 million grant from the Oak Foundation to support the expanded work of this project.

Elon University provides $75,000 over the next five years to ACC to support the parent classes. The parent classes are provided at no cost to the families.

ACC’s Claire Ricci, Director of Academic and Career Readiness, and Julie Spomer, ESL Coordinator, developed the program with Dr. Jean Rattigan-Rohr, founder and director of the Village Project and Elon University’s Executive Director of Community Partnerships.

The grant also allowed the purchase of a Smartboard for use in the ESL program; and provides free childcare for ESL students at off-campus ESL class locations, where Village parents are enrolled.

“We are really excited to renew this relationship with Elon University’s Expanded Village,” said Ricci. “We are looking forward to enhancing the fam-ily literacy component of this project by providing targeted instruction for the parents, with the goal of enabling them to help their children with their home-work, as well as furthering their own goals and career plans.”

“We have many ESL students successfully completing our program and going on to obtain better jobs in their fields as well as college degrees and diplomas. This grant enhances our capacity to support even more ESL students with furthering their career and educational goals.”

Acc’s First Honors Program Provides

Advanced course StudySixteen students are members of Alamance community college’s first Honor’s cohort, a new program intended to provide students eager for advanced studies with a transformative learning experience that promotes critical thinking, community engagement and academic exploration.

The Honors program, which got underway in fall 2017, benefits students with smaller class sizes, honors recognition on both their transcript and

diploma, special learning opportunities, and faculty mentorship.To graduate with honors, students need to complete a minimum of six

honors courses (such as critical thinking, world history, or leadership develop-ment). Completion of these 18 hours sets the students apart from others due to rigor of the courses, and they will receive an Honors designation on their diploma.

Students in the program must also complete an Experiential Learning Proj-ect (ELP) and present it to the Honors Advisory Committee. The ELP allows students to explore innovative solutions to an issue of their choosing.

22 ACC Nursing Students Earn UNCG Bachelor Degrees

Twenty-two graduates of Alamance Community College’s Associate Degree Nursing program earned Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees from UNC Greensboro in December 2016 as the first class of a partnership between the two institutions known as RN-to-BSN (Registered Nurse-to-Bachelor of Sci-ence in Nursing).

From January 2015 through Decem-ber 2016, UNC Greensboro’s Nursing Department instructors provided online classes and met with 25 graduates of ACC’s Associate Degree Nursing program one day per week on the ACC campus. Because the face-to-face class was offered on the ACC campus, stu-dents saved time and travel expenses.

“One of the reasons for the success of our program is the partnership we have with ACC,” said Jacqueline DeBrew, UNCG Program Director. “ACC provides the classroom space and helps with student recruitment.”

The second ACC cohort that started in January 2017 had about 33 stu-dents enrolled, said Linda Anderson, RN-BSN Outreach Program Specialist at the UNCG School of Nursing.

“These BSN credentials make nurses more competitive in today’s job mar-ket, and that competitive edge will give Alamance Community College students exactly what they need,” said ACC President Dr. Algie Gatewood.

Acc’s mock trial Student team competes, Defeats uncc

For the second consecutive year, students on Alamance community college’s mock trial team scored a victory over one of North Carolina’s top four-year universities by defeating UNC Charlotte on a 2-0 decision at the Southeast Regional Mock Trial Championships held at Campbell Law School in Raleigh in February 2017.

“This is big for us,” said Dr. Kevin Sargent, ACC English instructor who serves as team coach. “For our students to win against a school like UNC Charlotte shows that they are just as talented and motivated as students from much bigger institutions.”

The American Mock Trial Association (AMTA) hosts 25 regional tourna-ments at which more than 5,000 students from 650 teams compete to earn bids to the national championship tournament in April. Alamance Community College was one of only two community colleges in the country to take on this exceptional challenge.

“The courtroom is an ideal setting for students to learn vital skills in argumentation, advocacy, critical thinking, communication, and professional behavior. Such experiences are especially valuable for community college students making the transition to a four-year university, or entering the workforce,” said Dr. Sargent.

The proceeds annually go to help bolster a memorial scholarship fund named for the late Steven Reinhartsen, a longtime ACC counselor who died in 2012.

The 2016 event had 165 runners and walkers—compared to 91 the year before—who ran the 3.1 miles around the Graham campus and along Jimmie Kerr Road.

ACC’s Computer-Integrated Machining students made the winners’ med-als. Volunteers who helped with the event included ACC Foundation staff members, ACC student clubs, Alumni Council members, Boy Scouts, Public Information & Marketing, and ACC maintenance and grounds staff.

While the opening of a new stairwell may not sound exciting, the College took care of a long-needed replacement for a safer and modern staircase that connects three levels of the campus B-Building in spring 2017. The capital improvement project consisted of complete demolition of the existing stairwell, followed by con-struction of an entirely new stairwell.

The demolition and new stairwell were funded, in part, by a grant from The Charles A. Cannon Charitable Trusts.

Grant Refurbishes Science Labs at Graham High School

Alamance Community College partnered with Alamance-Burlington School Sys-tem on a successful $1.5 million Golden LEAF grant—with matching funds totaling $372,500 from community partners—to boost science-technology-engineering-math (STEM) educational activities at Graham High School.

The College and the public school system leveraged this Community Grants Making Initiative to refurbish four science labs at the high school. By providing state-of-the-art equipment and space, ACC and ABSS began an initiative to expand and enhance STEM studies at Graham High, ideally providing a pipeline of students to the College’s Biotech-nology Center of Excellence.

The Foundation contributed nearly $50,000 in matching funds and two teach-ers for the new labs, while ACC Institutional Advancement contributed significantly to the grant writing process.

“This is a game-changer for STEM-related activities at Graham High School,” said ACC President Dr. Algie Gatewood. “But this $1.5 million Golden LEAF Foundation grant is significant for our larger community as well, given the critical need to build a workforce in the U.S. with the requisite science, technol-ogy, engineering or math skills to navigate a 21st century economy.”

The multi-sport court will better provide the PE requirements for Early and Middle College students and could allow the College to expand its PE course offerings.

The multipurpose sports court was largely funded through a $50,000 grant provided by Impact Alamance—whose mission includes promoting healthy lifestyles—and written in partnership with Alamance-Burlington School System (ABSS).

Let us know if your name should be added to this list.

ways to give:Gifts of cash

X Cash gifts are immediate and, if you itemize your taxes, your outright gifts of cash are fully deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Bequests X After providing for loved ones, name ACCF a beneficiary in your will to ensure a permanent legacy of helping ACC students. (Check with your estate planner.)

X Tell your loved ones you would like ACCF to be listed to receive memorial gifts in your obituary.

Charitable gift annuity X Transfer at least $10,000 to ACCF now and receive a guaranteed above market rate of return for the remainder of your life. Perfect for those who live off the income received from their assets and who are worried about market volatility.

X Immediate tax benefits may be realized. X Remaining asset value transfers to ACCF use upon passing of the donor.

Vehicles and equipment X Certain programs at ACC may benefit from donations of non-cash items that help educate students in current techniques and technologies.

X Such donations may be tax-deductible.

Gifts of life insurance X A life insurance policy that is no longer needed can be a perfect vehicle for a gift. Name ACCF as the owner and beneficiary of the policy. The current cash value and future premiums paid may be tax deductible. (Check with your life insurance agent for details.)

Gifts of stock X Giving long-term appreciated stock may offer you a two-fold tax savings:1. You avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase

of the value of the stock.2. You receive a tax deduction for the full fair market

value of the stock at the time of donation.

Gifts of real estate X Gifts of real estate allow the donor to avoid capital gains tax and realize a charitable deduction on the full fair market value of the real estate.
