Message from thePresident

Dr. Ervin V. Griffin, Sr.

President/Chief Executive Officer

reach out to the Roanoke Valley through the news, web and print outlets and have increased our bandwidth allowing for richer web content. Our Foundation has added members to its board and is looking to embark on future fundraising ventures. We are also developing a speakers’ series as part of our campus and outreach activities. Additionally, we have added G-mail accounts for students to communicate with each other, faculty and staff. Another exciting technology up-date is that our students who have wireless (Wi-Fi) devices can now access the wireless student network from certain areas around campus.

HCC now offers more than 40 academic programs including associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates. Due to the strong tie to local businesses and industries, each of our programs offers our students the opportunity for a well-rounded and practical education. For 2007-08, we celebrated with our graduates when 452 earned degrees, diplomas and certificates, including 55 GED graduates who participated in the graduation ceremony. Our Continuing Education division offers several courses for training and development for employers in our region. In 2007-08, we served 5,843 citizens in our Continuing Education programs. We are very proud of our success in providing updated Workforce Devel-opment Programs for our business and industry partners and we are continually providing opportunities to work with them to meet the training and development needs of employees.

We are an open door institution and I invite you to visit our campus often. We believe that students and citizens in our service area are our greatest assets. I invite you to explore the opportunities available by visiting in person, calling (252) 536-HCC1 or visiting www.halifaxcc.edu. Remember, HCC is the community college where “Learning Comes to Life In

Pursuit of Excellence.”

Halifax Community College has experienced a very exciting year this past year. HCC has completed a Long Range Plan and a Facilities Master Plan and we have experienced stable enrollment over the last year. We are currently reviewing our mission, vision and values statements and have opened that revision process to the community. We continue to

HCC Inaugurates Griffin as Fourth President

Halifax Community College held an Inaugural Convocation and Investiture of its fourth president, Dr. Ervin V. Griffin, Sr. Oct. 19 in The Centre. Community college representatives, government officials, community leaders, university and college delegates, and other distinguished guests were in attendance.

The event was described as a monumental and historic occasion, since Griffin is the first African-American president to serve at HCC. Speakers pledged unanimous support for Griffin during the proceedings. “It is a great day because we have all come together here with a common goal—the celebration of education. That’s what this is really about,” said Representative Angela Bryant.

Griffin was referred to as a man of vision and purpose and many have noticed that he “hit the ground running.” Currently, he is extremely active in the community, serving on the Halifax Horizons Workforce Development Board of Directors, Halifax-

Warren Smart Start Partnership for Children Board, Halifax County Economic Development Commission Board (ex officio), Halifax County Educational Facilities Capital Improvement Planning Committee, Area Health Educational Center Regional Advisory Board (AHEC), National AdvisoryCouncil of the American Student Association of Community Colleges, Roanoke Rapids Mill Community Advisory Council, Roanoke Rapids Rotary Club, Roanoke Rapids Chamber of Commerce, and Choanoke Area Development Association Board of Directors.

“This is truly a celebration,” said N.C. Community College System President, H. Martin Lancaster. “Halifax Community College is a source of great pride to this service area, but it is also a source of important learning for the people of this area if they are to become a part of the economy of the future in North Carolina.”

Many program participants also said that Griffin had arrived in just the right place at the right time.

“It is really comforting to know that you’re in the rightplace at the right time fulfilling the mission for Halifax Community College,” said Griffin. “As I said at our recent Founder’s Day program, I owe a great deal to the presidents of Halifax Community College who… nurtured the vision of the college we see today.” Griffin also spotlighted HCC achievements of the past year and partnerships that have developed since his arrival. He added that he has found Roanoke Valley citizens to be warm and genuine and that he appreciated all of the support he has received. “I am living my dream,” concluded Griffin.

A reception honoring Griffin was held that evening in The Centre, followed by a concert by The Manhattans.

Message from the Board of Trustees Chair

Dr. Stanley Edwards, HCC Board ChairmanRecipient of the 2008 Southern Regional TrusteeLeadership Award by the Association of CommunityCollege Trustees

The 2007-2008 year has been a great one for Halifax Community College. We have installed a new president, Dr. Ervin V. Griffin, Sr., who joins HCC as an integral part of the administration. From the academic excellence of our programs and students to the cultural opportunities on campus to our commitment to continuing education, the college has much for which to be proud.

Having served for several years on the board, I can honestly say that HCC is destined for continued success in the future. We want to remain responsive to the needs of our students and the community. With the help of business and industry partners and caring individuals, the college will continue to make positive contributions to our citizens.

Our residents should feel confident about the quality of education that our students receive. With continued commitment, HCC will remain a place that positively impacts lives everyday.

HCC Celebrates40th Anniversary &Founder’s Day

HCCTurns 40!

The 2007-2008 academic year marked a milestone for HCC as we celebrated our 40th anniversary. The observance provided the College with the opportunity to reflect on the growth and development of the institution and on the people who have been a part of its rich history. On Sept. 7, the College held its first Founder’s Day Celebration which has become an annual event. The celebration culminated a yearlong schedule of activities that highlighted the college’s diverse programs.

Halifax Community College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). The College began the reaffirmation process last year with the appointment of Cathy Farabow as the SACS coordinator and Dr. Julie Dilday as the Quality Enhancement Plan coordinator. During the year, faculty participated in workshops and applied the information to course and program revisions. HCC staff members are also engaged in the process as they examine their departments to meet SACS standards. The reaffirmation process will continue through 2011.

The Year in Review:Highlights from 2007 - 2008

The first day of class kicked off the first of a series of HCC student forums in August. Students were encouraged to share ideas for improving the campus and to ask questions of administrators.

HCC was awarded a five-year $119,650 grant by the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust in Winston-Salem. Grant funding created a pilot program called the HCC Healthy Smiles Dental Care Program that provided free, basic dental care for a portion of the area’s elementary school children.

The State Board of Community Colleges visited HCC. The board conducted a retreat coupled with an on-location meeting. This marked the first time the board had visited the campus.

The Legislative and Community Affairs Committee held its fall meeting. Guests included representatives Angela Bryant, Lucy Allen, and Michael Wray, along with Senator Edward Jones. HCC also hosted a spring Legislators Breakfast event.

HCC organizations including the Student Government, Student Support Services, Early Childhood Education, Phi Beta Lambda and Phi Theta Kappa partnered in an effort to sponsor a food drive for the local Union Mission. Ten boxes of food were collected as well as monetary donations.

Weldon’s Acting Postmaster Becky Horton, left,along with Charles Chesnutt’s fifth cousin, Deloris Best Pritchettand HCC President, Dr. Ervin V. Griffin, Sr. unveiled the Chesnutt stamp on campus.

First among several events held during Black History Month, Halifax Community College hosted a stamp dedication commemorating pioneering writer Charles W. Chesnutt as part of Black History Month festivities. For only the second time, HCC partnered with the U.S. Postal Service to bring a stamp dedication to campus. The Chesnutt stamp is the 31st in the Black Heritage series from the U.S. Postal Service. His pioneering work addressed a broad range of African-American experience during the post-Civil War period known as Reconstruction. He is recognized as a major innovator and singular voice among turn-of-the-century literary realists who probed the color line in American life.

HCC and Chowan University entered into an historic partnership. Beginning in January, Chowan offered its first Adult Degree Completion Program at HCC.

HCC received a Student Success Activity Grant from the NCCCS with the purpose of reaching out to people in the area’s population who have multiple barriers to education, including citizens with limited English proficiency. The plan offered an innovative recruitment and retention initiative. With the grant, HCC was able to hire, for the first time, a part-time Assessment-Retention Counselor. A GED Kickoff celebration was held in March.

HCC’s Child Care Center earned a five star rating from the N.C. Division of Child Development, part of the Department of Health & Human Services. The center serves children ages 2-5. This is the highest rated license in the state’s licensing system.

HCC hosted hundreds of high school students and guests at the first “Men to Men Summit: Developing Men of Distinction” at The Centre. Keynote speakers included Troy D. Vincent and Dr. Walter Clark. The summit was made possible by a grant from the North Carolina Community College System. With this funding, HCC has started a Minority Male Mentoring Program on campus. The initiative provides comprehensive activities, including personal development, drug and substance abuse education, and other innovative activities to improve the academic success of students.

2007 - 2008 Highlights

HCC students Sherry Agee and Johnnie Stevenson were honored by the North Carolina Community College System in April as outstanding students at the annual Academic Excellence Luncheon. Pictured are Dr. Cooley, Dr. Griffin, Agee, Stevenson, Dr. Edwards and Senator Ed Jones.

Halifax Communitiy College celebrated student academic success during the first-ever Academic Excellence Awards Ceremony, April 17. During the event, those who were included on the President’s and Dean’s lists for fall 2007 and Who’s Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges were recognized.

2007 - 2008 Highlights

Student Successesat HCC

Rodrigo Martinez was selected as one of only 10 recipients of the GlaxoSmithKline Foundation Teacher Preparation Scholarship/Loan Program for the 2007-08 year. The scholarship program benefits prospective teachers.

HCC student Rebecca Simmons has been awarded a Coca-Cola Two-Year Colleges Scholarship. It is a $1,000 award and only 350 are available nationally. Selection was based on academic record and ongoing commitment to community service. Currently, Simmons has an overall 3.94 GPA. The scholarship was made possible through a grant to the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation from the Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation.

HCC student Carol Whitaker really wants to make a difference. The Associate in Arts (Teacher Prep) student plans to become a teacher. To help her on her way, Whitaker was recently named the recipient of the Daily Herald Women in Business annual scholarship and had the opportunity to address a crowd gathered for the Women in Business luncheon in June.

Presidential Partnership Awards 2007

Halifax Community College recognized three business partners during commencement exercises, May 10. This marked the second annual presentation of the Presidential Partnership Award. HCC President, Dr. Ervin V. Griffin, Sr. made the award presentations. The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, Turning Point Workforce Development Board and the U.S. Postal Service received the award for commitment and partnership in developing workforce education programs and supporting economic development in the Roanoke Valley.

Allen J. Smart, who currently serves as a senior program officer in the Health Care Division of the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, was presented the award. The trust was established in 1947, to improve the quality of life and quality of health for the financially needy of North Carolina. The Health Care Division responds to health care and wellness needs by investing in solutions that improve the quality of health for North Carolina’s financially needy residents. Last year, the Trust awarded HCC grant funding that created a pilot program through the Dental Hygiene department called the HCC Healthy Smiles Dental Care Program. It provides free, basic dental care for a portion of the area’s elementary (K-5) school children. The Trust and HCC are currently working with outside providers to make seamless care more available.

Jean Lovejoy, manager for the Post Office Operations, Area 1, Greensboro District, was presented the second partnership award. In February 2007, HCC partnered with the US Postal Service to dedicate a new stamp just issued as part of the Black Heritage Series. The dedication was held in honor of Black History Month. It was the first in a month-long series of programs that highlighted key developments, contributions, and events within African-American culture both past and present. On Feb. 5, 2008, the second annual stamp dedication was held. This year’s stamp featured the noted African-American author Charles Chesnutt.

Pamela S. Whitaker, executive director of the Turning Point Workforce Development Board was presented the third award. In the past 10 years, Whitaker has successfully administered $55 million, with HCC’s JobLink receiving in excess of $11.5 million for workforce and economic development training and development programs. Currently, the 25-member board manages more than $6 million and is one of 24 boards in North Carolina administering the nation’s principle workforce development legislation, the Workforce Investment Act of 1998.

Vice President of Administrative Services’ Summary

FUND SOURCE BUDGET AMOUNT State Funds $9,860,606 Local Funds $1,099,717 Other Funds $4,806,742 Total Budget $15,767,065

Halifax Community College (HCC) believes the economic future of the College will continue to be sound. At the earliest prediction of a slowdown in the state’s economy, plans were made for possible budget cuts. Employees have been asked to be conservative in their use of supplies, materials, travel funds, and equipment. A concerted effort by faculty, staff, and administration to slow non-personnel expenditures will help the College meet the State’s budgetary challenge.

HCC continues to work with the County Commissioners in both service areas of Halifax and Northampton Counties to grow budget appropriations in direct proportion with the growth in fuel oil prices, utilities, and labor costs. Again, employees have been asked to follow conservation measures in the use of heating, cooling, water, and maintenance supplies in order that current appropriations carry us to year end.

Through careful fiscal management, Halifax Community College should be able to navigate the current economic slowdown and continue to meet the educational needs of our students and service area.

The Halifax Community College Foundation Board of Directors would like to extend our appreciation to all of the donors for their continued support of the college. This past year was very successful.

Message from theHCC Foundation, Inc. Chairman

Charles McElheney

The Foundation plays a vital role in providing assistance to our students. Without this help, many would be unable to continue their studies at the college. It is absolutely necessary that we assist our students in this way, because it will impact our community. Better education equals more economic opportunity for our graduates and the community. Please know that we sincerely appreciate your support and that your gift makes a real difference in the lives of our students.

Although I have only had the opportunity to call HCC home for the past eight months, I have found that the Department of Institutional Advancement is quite a busy place! Just as an example, in the 2007 – 2008 academic year, the Public Information Office, under the direction of Melanie Temple, wrote 214 different feature stories, event or class announcements. Of these, 173 were sent to the local media and 41 were for online use only. HCC garnered more than 500 mentions in newspapers alone from this publicity. In addition, the media (local newspapers, radio, or television) were present at more than 20 HCC events last year. Local TV also conducted 11 interviews on special topics with representatives from HCC. Kim Edwards, our graphic artist, completed a total of 692 print requests for the year. Almost half (317) were new design jobs. This means that she averaged 14.4 print requests and 6.6 new design jobs per week. To give an idea of what that means, each new brochure that is designed and printed involves almost nine hours of work. Each new flyer design involves almost four hours of work. Multiply that by 14.4 print requests per week to get an idea of the hours the print shop puts in.

Our Development Office was also productively engaged. Between January 2, 2008, when I arrived, and June 30, eight new grant proposals were submitted from the Department of Institutional Advancement requesting more than $1,700,000 altogether. Of these, four were successful, two were unsuccessful, and two are still outstanding. In all, during Fiscal Year 2008, HCC received $4,107,437.77 in grant dollars. Sherry Agee once again coordinated the assignment of scholarships and their recipients during the year. In 2007 – 2008, 155 scholarships were granted to 104 different students. Donor Management Software was identified and purchased for the HCC Foundation, the first such software ever used by the College. This software should allow us to keep more efficient records of gifts and donors, and enable us to more effectively report to our donors the difference their gifts are making. And the HCC Foundation’s endowment continued to grow due to sound investment policies and continued fund raising. From July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2008, seven new scholarships alone were established, providing more financial assistance to deserving and needy students.

As you can see, it has been a busy, yet productive, year. The 2008 – 2009 academic year promises to be even more so. We in Institutional Advancement look toward the future with enthusiasm and high expectations!
