Randolph Community College Photography Exhibit Opens at Randolph Arts Guild Dec. 15

Randolph Arts Guild has opened its walls to the Randolph Community College Photographic Technology students who participated in the photo exploration trip to China last May with digital photography instructor John Rash. The exhibit includes photographs taken by students during their trip to China. An opening reception is set for Tuesday, Dec. 15, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., and the exhibit will be open through Jan. 22.

"This would not have been possible without funding from an RCC Foundation College Innovation Fund Grant that we received earlier this year," said Rash. "The students can't wait to share their images with the public." The Foundation provided funding for printing, matting, and framing of the photographs on display.

Randolph Arts Guild is located at 123 Sunset Avenue, Asheboro.

Certified Manager Program Class Begins Jan. 12 at Randolph Community College

Randolph Community College's Continuing Education Division will offer a Certified Manager Program class beginning Tuesday, Jan. 12, on the Asheboro Campus.

This course explores the application of leadership, management theory, group dynamics, and communication contributing to the development of a personal style of leadership. Also, leadership styles will be compared to the decision-making process.

The class will meet on Tuesdays, from 6-9 p.m. until May 11. The registration fee is $175, plus the cost of a textbook.

The Certified Manager Program is sponsored locally by RCC in cooperation with the Institute of Certified Professional Managers on the campus of James Madison University. The designation of Certified Manager is similar to that of the Certified Public Accountant designation granted to professionals in accounting. To qualify, you must meet minimum professional standards of education, experience, character, and competence. The courses at RCC are designed to help managers prepare for the exams to earn the CM designation. It is strongly recommended that students have three or more years of experience as a supervisor or manager prior to taking the certification exams.

RCC's courses may also be taken for personal and professional development, even if you do not plan to apply for the CM certification exams. For additional information and to register for this course (#MLS3808L 97575), contact RCC's Continuing Education Information Center at 336-633-0268. Register soon, enrollment is limited.
