NC Cultural Resources Secretary Visits Randolph Community College

Linda Carlisle, secretary of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, toured Randolph Community College's Photographic Technology department April 19. Carlisle was in Asheboro for the kickoff of a fund-raising campaign for the historic Sunset Theatre in downtown Asheboro.

"We were delighted to host North Carolina Secretary of Cultural Resources Linda Carlisle on RCC's campus," said RCC President Robert S. Shackleford. "She had heard so many favorable things about our arts programs - photography, interior design, and advertising & graphic design - that she wanted to visit our campus. She was also very impressed with RCC's Cultural Arts Series, and what we have done to bring meaningful and diverse cultural arts presentations to our campus and community with a shoestring budget. She was most enthusiastic about all that she saw on our campus."

Visiting with Carlisle were Mary Regan, executive director of the North Carolina Arts Council, and Bonnie Renfro, president of the Randolph County Economic Development Corporation. Shackleford and Greg Stewart, chair of the Commercial and Artistic Production Division at RCC, showed Carlisle and the other guests around the 30,000-square-foot photography studio.
