2010-11 Initiatives Presented at Randolph Community College Fall Convocation

In opening the Fall Convocation ceremony for the 2010-11 school year at Randolph Community College, Anne Hockett, vice president for instructional services, welcomed the crowd of faculty and staff members saying, "We are on the absolute cusp of greatness at Randolph Community College." The presentation for nearly 200 full-time faculty and staff members and approximately 100 adjunct faculty members was held on Aug. 12 in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center. The audience included more than 20 new full-time faculty members hired because of the unprecedented enrollment growth that RCC experienced last fall –13.4%.

Jim Campbell, chair of the RCC Board of Trustees, welcomed the group on behalf of the board. RCC President Robert S. Shackleford Jr. introduced his presidential initiatives for the 2010-11 school year, explaining that they fall into five areas identified as core values of the College: community, employees, quality education, radical hospitality, and student success.
