NCC President Dr. Bill Carver<\/p><\/div>\n

\u200b\u200b<\/span>Nash Community College has announced an increase in enrollment by six percent\u00a0\u200bover<\/span>\u00a0the past year, and the campus is well-positioned for continued growth.<\/p>\n

The growth can be attributed to longstanding industry partnerships, unique program offerings, and strategic\u00a0\u200bleadership\u200b<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a time when decreasing enrollment is the trend among community colleges, NCC is both proud and humbled to be among colleges experiencing growth,\u201d NCC President Dr. Bill Carver said.<\/p>\n

Carver, who recently announced his retirement<\/a>, has served in the NC Community College System for 32 years. He has established a reputation for positioning and advancing the College through innovative thinking and out-of-the-box vision.<\/p>\n

NCC has expanded its campus, modernizing instructional spaces and delivery methods, growing from a Level I to Level II institution, and resisting the termination of programs\u200b \u200b<\/span>during tight budgets.<\/p>\n

\u201cNash Community College is a leader in addressing unique regional workforce training needs,\u201d Carver said. \u201cThe Electric Line Construction training offers a 1\u200b6\u200b<\/span>-week academy and provides the only two-year Electric Line Construction degree program in North Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other programs and facilities unique to NCC include Veterinary Medical Technology, Brewing, Distillation and Fermentation, an aseptic clean room, Associate in Engineering degree, indoor firing range and Nash Online\u2019s\u00a0\u200bprogram and \u200b<\/span>two-year degree offerings for the remote learner.<\/p>\n

Since 2015 NCC\u2019s campus footprint has grown to include three new buildings for advanced manufacturing, cosmetology and continuing education and public services.<\/p>\n

A recent North Carolina Community College System Office report ranks Nash Community College number eight among only 16 schools in the 58-college system to experience growth in full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment from fall 2017 to fall 2018. Full-time equivalent enrollment\u00a0\u200bs<\/span>tatistics are used to determine a college’s operating budget.<\/p>\n

Nash Community College celebrated the expansion of the Nash-Rocky Mount Early College High School located\u200b on<\/span>\u00a0its campus in February. President Carver recalls the Early College\u2019s humble beginnings on NCC\u2019s campus as an early adopter of the proven methodology for North Carolina. \u201cNCC took a chance \u2013 not a leap \u2013 because Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools, our longtime partner, was the tip of the spear identifying students for a new way to attend high school \u2013 earning a high school and college credential together. There was no manual; we just did what was good for students.\u201d For many years, the Nash-Rocky Mount Early College was the largest in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cNash Community College is a recognizable brand throughout North Carolina, and especially as the largest community college in the immediate three-county region.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMany dedicated people have played a part in the campus we have today. Since 1967, NCC leaders have advocated tirelessly for local training needs, and the critical contributions technical programs make in our state\u2019s economy, many times meeting resistance, but never giving up. And as a result, along with supportive partners the college is able to provide an exceptional learning environment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
