Randolph Community College’s Curriculum Graduation ceremony, scheduled
for 7 p.m., Wednesday, May 9, at the Lee J. Stone football stadium at
Asheboro High School, will include 50 alumni graduates in honor of RCC’s
50th Anniversary. Over 450 students have applied to graduate with their
associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates this spring; more than
200 graduates are expected to participate in the ceremony on May 9.
The increased participation in this graduation ceremony in the last
couple of years has necessitated a new configuration for the stage,
according to Rose Chilson, chair of RCC’s Graduation Committee. The
stage will be set on the 10-yard line on the west side of the stadium so
that both bleachers can be used to seat family and friends of the
graduates. In addition to the normal parking lots around Asheboro High
School and on-street parking, guests should utilize the bus parking lot
across Dixie Drive. A pedestrian walkway beneath Dixie Drive is
available adjacent to that parking lot. Attendees are asked not to park
in any grassy areas.
Keynote speakers for the May 9
graduation will be Dr. R. Scott Ralls, president of the North Carolina
Community College System; North Carolina Senator Jerry Tillman; and Dr.
Stuart B. Fountain, a member of the State Board of Community Colleges.
Also making brief remarks in honor of the 50th Anniversary will be Dr.
Lacy M. Presnell Jr., retired director of the Division of School
Planning for the North Carolina Department Public Instruction, Randolph
County Schools superintendent (1961-1969), and keynote speaker for RCC’s
first formal graduation in 1964.
The 2012 Adult
High School/GED Graduation will be at 7 p.m., Monday, May 14, in the
Performing Arts Center at Asheboro High School. Jacqueline “Jackie”
Foster, an RCC GED graduate and 1994 RCC Criminal Justice Technology
graduate who is now a probation and parole officer for the N.C. Division
of Adult Corrections, will be the keynote speaker. Frances Moffitt,
retired RCC co-director of learning skills programs, will be the 50th
Anniversary guest speaker. Moffitt worked at RCC from 1964-1991.
Both graduations are open to the public.
