GTCC continues to expand in Guilford County. In August, the college purchased a 253,000-square-foot warehouse that sits on 37 acres near the Jamestown Campus to expand its transportation and welding programs. To better serve the High Point community, the Small Business Center opened a new location at the High Point Chamber of Commerce. On the High Point Campus, we broke ground on the new Center for Creative and Performing Arts, a two-story facility that will serve as a teaching lab and performance space for students in our Creative and Performing Arts program. Cline Observatory installed a new telescope in May that allows star gazers to see farther into the universe. Our students continue to shine as they earn top awards in competitions including SkillsUSA, Model United Nations, SAFECON flight competition and the Culinary Knowledge Bowl. Our students often place first in these competitions while competing against colleges such as the Naval Academy, Johnson & Wales, UNC Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University. The college also forged new partnerships with area colleges to offer more educational opportunities for transfer students and streamline the transfer process. GTCC signed an articulation agreement with Guilford College and a co-admission agreement with Bennett College. In addition, the North Carolina Community College System adopted a new articulation agreement which will streamline the course offerings accepted by the UNC system schools. Our student success initiatives have taken many forms. Through Completion by Design, a five-year Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

initiative to increase completion rates for low-income students under age 26, we’ve been implementing innovative pathways to boost students’ success. In January 2014, the college led a new strategic planning process with constituents from inside and outside of the college who offered feedback about what GTCC means to the community now and how it will become even more relevant in the future. One of the outcomes from this process is to develop a new mission, vision, values and strategic goals for the college. As I reflect on this past year at GTCC, I am reminded of how important the community college mission truly is for Guilford County and North Carolina. I started my education at Lenior Community College, which set the path for my career. At GTCC, our dedicated faculty and staff are helping our students carve their own path to success. I want to thank our students, faculty and staff for their diligence and hard work in being part of this mission. As we continue to move into the coming year, I would like to thank the citizens of Guilford County for their support, our North Carolina legislators, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners and the city governments of High Point, Jamestown, Greensboro and Oak Ridge. At Guilford Tech, we start every day with the students’ needs at the heart of everything we do. This mission is what makes us great now and into the future. Again, thank you for all that you do from America’s Community College.

by Victory Media, the premier media entity for military personnel transitioning into civilian life. GTCC is among the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans and spouses as students to ensure their success on campus. “What makes our school military friendly is GTCC’s reputation in the industry,” said Flora Taylor, coordinator of GTCC’s Military Assistance Program. “Our students and graduates are sought after in the local job market.” For U.S. Navy veteran Ralph Flegal, GTCC gave him a second chance to embark on a new career after being laid off in 2008. Today he’s pursuing an associate degree in global logistics and also serves as president of GTCC’s Student Veterans Association. “If vets are looking to get back into the workforce, Guilford Tech has a wide range of opportunities and a staff that follows through with helping you find work,” Flegal said.

CARNIQUE MARKS NAMED PLAYER OF THE WEEK Carnique Marks, a forward on Guilford Technical Community College’s women’s basketball team, was named the NJCAA’s Division II Player of the Week for Nov. 18-24. With dominant play on both ends of the floor, Marks improved the Titans’ record to 6-0 to start the 2013-14 season, according to The National Junior College Athletic Association’s website. “Carnique had an unbelievable week,” said head coach Bobby Allison. “Her athleticism is something special to watch. She affects the game in so many different ways, from scoring and rebounding to blocking shots and getting out in transition.”

EDNA’S KIDS BRINGS JOY TO MANY Edna’s Kids is an annual Christmas drive that provides gifts for children of low-income, single-parent students. GTCC Counselor Ednalyn Hurley created the program in 1994 after learning from a single parent student that she could not afford Christmas gifts for her children. “God put it on my heart to help children,” Hurley said. Every year, Hurley gathers the children’s wish lists from their parents and then distributes the lists to sponsors. The drive culminates with a Christmas party on the Jamestown Campus, giving families an opportunity to meet and thank the sponsors and sponsors the chance to meet the families and see the lives they’ve impacted, especially the children. “My joy is seeing their little faces light up,” Hurley said.

CULINARY STUDENTS PROMOTE HEALTHY EATING IN SCHOOLS GTCC’s Culinary program has been partnering with the NC Chapter of American Culinary Federation for several years to promote healthy eating and cooking habits with local school children through the Chef & Child and Chefs Move to Schools initiatives. The program enlisted the help of culinary student Renea Myers to visit a handful of Guilford County Schools to encourage kids to eat and cook with a variety of healthy produce. The format of the program is “show and tell,” plus food sampling. Chef Keith Gardiner has been the driving force behind the outreach efforts and has involved many culinary students over the years to present these programs.

STAFF AND LADY TITANS HIT THE COURT FOR A CAUSE GTCC staff members defeated the women’s basketball team 75-72 in a basketball game fundraiser for the GTCC Food Pantry on April 22 at the Ragsdale YMCA. Coach Bobby Allison scored the winning three-point shot with seconds left on the clock. GTCC collected approximately 120 cans of food for the food pantry.

That feed bag provided the perfect muse for Jackson in designing the winning logo for the Greater Greensboro CROP Hunger Walk and Run, an annual 5K event that raises funds for Potter’s House Community Kitchen at Greensboro Urban Ministry and Church World Service. Jackson’s design, which incorporates this year’s theme “One World, One Community, One Step,” was featured on 4,000 T-shirts the day of the event on Oct. 20, 2013. Although Jackson, 28, says she was surprised her design was chosen, she’s happy to be supporting a good cause. Doing designs for nonprofit organizations is important to her. “It brings attention to the cool things that are happening… and it keeps people coming to Greensboro,” she said. “I like when I can be a part of something like that.”

I have found that the work presented by the graphic design students is the best to be found in Greensboro,” said Christine Byrd, director of development and communication at Greensboro Urban Ministry. “We are always pleased with the variety of designs and the skill levels of the designers. It is clear that the GTCC program provides students with a wonderful academic experience that will prepare them for successful design careers.” Twelve GTCC students submitted designs to this year’s contest. Jackson’s design, however, stood out.

GTCC STUDENTS RECOGNIZED FOR CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT

by Heather Ebert

The Student Life Office and Student Government Association awarded Courtni Battle and Indira Manring for their outstanding commitment to enhancing the student experience during the SGA end of year lunch in April. Courtni Battle was awarded the Ray Moody Leadership Scholarship Fund which commemorates GTCC’s first Director of Student Activities and Alumni Affairs. This scholarship is awarded once a year to one student who shows evidence of improvement in the quality of student life at GTCC; has a minimum GPA of 2.5; and demonstrates evidence of community involvement. Battle, who served as the 2013-2014 SGA Vice President for Clubs, dedicated herself to improving the quality of student life by encouraging and assisting 48 student-led clubs and organizations at GTCC to meet goals, plan events and develop leaders. Battle also participated in GTCC’s Domestic Leadership Exchange with the University of Massachusetts Boston and is actively involved with her church and The ARC of Greensboro, a nonprofit organization for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Indira Manring, who served as the 2013-2014 SGA Aviation Representative, was selected by the SGA as Representative of the Year. In her

STATE & INTERNATIONAL ACCOLADES DR. CAROL SCHMID RECEIVES UNC-DUKE FELLOWSHIP Carol Schmid, professor of sociology, was chosen as a recipient of the 2013 College Educators Research Fellowship offered by the UNC-Duke Consortium in Latin American and Caribbean Studies, a Title VI National Resource Center. Schmid was one of three educators chosen for the fellowship. Schmid was awarded the fellowship in support of her project, “Affirmative Action and Higher Education in Brazil and the United States: A View from the Other America.” During her fellowship period (August to December), Schmid was assigned to UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University, where she had access to the libraries and the resources available on both campuses. She conducted her research while continuing to teach full-time at GTCC. Schmid’s fellowship commitments also included completing a three to five page summary of her research findings and presenting her research and new curriculum at the annual UNC-Duke Consortium Conference February 7-8, 2014.

GTCC PROFESSOR PUBLISHED IN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL The international journal, “School Science and Mathematics,” has published an article by Dr. Jim Carrier, professor of computer technologies at Guilford Technical Community College, in its February issue (Volume 114, Issue 2). Carrier’s article, “Student Strategies Suggesting Emergence of Mental Structures Supporting Logical and Abstract Thinking: Multiplicative Reasoning,” represents 10 years of cutting-edge research pertaining to the identification of student cognitive strategies. The piece summarizes ways that teachers can quickly identify successful behaviors in students and reward those behaviors, thus changing the way students and teachers interact. Published monthly, October through May, the School Science and Mathematics journal emphasizes research on issues, concerns and lessons within and between the disciplines of science and mathematics in the classroom. Carrier has been teaching computer technologies at GTCC for 10 years. He enjoys helping students understand the foundations of programming and logic and has taught Introduction to Programming and Logic throughout his tenure. He received GTCC’s Excellence in Teaching Award in 2012.
