Dr. Donny Hunter, president and CEO of the North Carolina Association
of Community College Trustees, will be the guest speaker at Randolph
Community College's Curriculum Graduation ceremony scheduled for 7 p.m.,
Wednesday, May 13, in the Providence Grove High School gymnasium.
Dr. Hunter's public career includes service as a teacher, principal,
assistant superintendent, superintendent, consultant with the North
Carolina Public Schools, assistant to the North Carolina Community
College System president and executive director of the North Carolina
State Board of Community Colleges. In his private business he conducts
searches for college presidents and provides leadership training for
administrators and governing boards. He is a sought-after speaker,
teacher, and facilitator.
Over 450 students have applied to
graduate with their associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates this
spring. Over 230 graduates are expected to participate in the ceremony
on May 13, and they will be wearing Herff Jones' Renew gowns, certified
as being made from 100% recycled materials.
According to the company,
every Renew gown saves 29 plastic bottles from the landfill, saves the
energy equivalent of 1/2 gallon of gas; and decreases the effects of
global warming through 1.5 lbs. fewer CO2 emissions or greenhouse gas.
The gowns' color and feel are similar to previous years, according to
Rose Chilson, co-chair of RCC's graduation committee, so graduates can
also wear gowns that have been donated by previous classes.
Because
of the limited space in the gymnasium, RCC has issued four guest
tickets for each graduate who is participating in the ceremony. Only
ticketed guests will be allowed in the gymnasium. Overflow seating will
be available in the PGHS auditorium with a live video feed for
additional guests to watch the ceremony. Providence Grove is located at
5555 Mack Lineberry Road, Climax.
