Garris Appointed to N.C. Student Success Center Advisory Board

Daffie Garris

Daffie H. Garris, vice president for administrative services at Randolph Community College since July 2006, has been appointed to serve on the North Carolina Student Success Center Advisory Board.

In January 2016, the Jobs for the Future (JFF) announced that North Carolina will be one of five states to launch Student Success Centers, supported by a $2.5 million investment from The Kresge Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The North Carolina Community College System is receiving $250,000 a year for the next two years for the project.

JFF is a national nonprofit that works to ensure educational and economic opportunity for all.

The new North Carolina Student Success Center will serve as a resource hub for shared learning, technical assistance, idea generation, and policy advocacy for all 58 colleges to advance, scale, and sustain statewide student success and completion efforts.
