“We want to make sure that JCC is the college of choice for Johnston County residents.”

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dr. Vern Lindquist

Dear Johnston County Community, I am humbled that the Johnston Community College Board of Trustees chose me last November as the fourth president of JCC, entrusting me with the leadership of this f ine institution. The College has done some great things since I began this January. I am most proud of this fall’s record-breaking enrollment, which saw double-digit increases over last year and the largest class in JCC’s history. We awarded more than 700 Johnston County high school graduates f ree tuition for their next two years at JCC through the JoCo Commissioners’ Promise program. We opened our new campus instructional facility, the Luby & Catherine Wood Building, with state-of-the-art engineering and science facilities for our students. We also reopened the Paul A. Johnson Auditorium with a stellar lineup of acts for the season. JCC also welcomed Starbucks to campus this fall along with a new cafeteria vendor and access to healthier food options across multiple buildings. We are in the process of completing a comprehensive Facilities Maser Plan with guidance f rom architects f rom LS3P and are working on an advanced manufacturing facility in Four Oaks with the help of the I-95/I-40 Crossroads of America organization. But we do not intend to stop there. With the growth of Johnston County and JCC itself, we are exploring ways to better serve every corner of our county and ensure that JCC is the college of choice for JoCo residents. You can f ind the details of these and other accomplishments in the pages that follow. Please explore what JCC has to offer and join me in the positive momentum here at the College. Great things are happening, and I look forward to even greater things in the years to come.

“After graduating from JCC, I genuinely feel like I’m prepared for anything that is thrown at me from a four-year university,” -BJ Alvares-Herrera

TRANSFER STUDENTS - SET FOR SUCCESS!

Johnston Community College exceeded statewide excellence standards in two categories which measure student success across North Carolina’s community colleges annually. JCC ranked second among the 58 colleges in both First-Year Progression and in Transfer Performance. These areas demonstrate that f irst-year students at JCC are making excellent progress toward credential completion and that they perform well above average when they transfer to a four-year university or college. “If you are looking to transfer f rom a community college to a four-year institution, the data f rom the North Carolina Community College System show that JCC sets you up for success,” says President Dr. Vern Lindquist. “After graduating f rom JCC, I genuinely feel like I’m prepared for anything that is thrown at me f rom a four-year university,” says recent North Carolina State University transfer student BJ Alvares-Herrera. “I have tailored my foundation to f it my major and area of interest. More importantly, JCC was able to accommodate my desires in learning and provide me with the experience I wanted,” Alvares-Herrera adds. The First-Year Progression index scores are based on the percentage of f irst-time fall credential-seeking curriculum students graduated prior to or enrolled in postsecondary education the subsequent fall semester. Transfer Performance index scores are based on the percentage of community college students transferring to a four-year university or college during thefall semester who remain enrolled in a four-year institution the subsequent fall or graduate prior. “These performance measures prove that community colleges, particularly JCC, provide quality education. A bonus of getting that great education at JCC is that it remains affordable, and in some cases can be tuition-f ree,” Lindquist added.

STATE-OF THE-ART: LUBY & CATHERINE

WOOD BUILDING Classes were held for the f irst time inside JCC’s new, state-of-the-art instructional facility. The building houses labs, off ices, interactive classrooms, a theater-style lecture hall, and more. The College’s expanding Associate in Engineering program and STEM-related disciplines are held in the building. Luby and Catherine Wood’s generous contribution led to the naming of the JCC building in their honor. An off ice space in the building is also named for Herman and Dianne Lancaster.

JCC will operate a new Advanced Manufacturing Center in Four Oaks, a vision spearheaded by the I-95/I-40 Crossroads of American Economic Development Alliance. The Crossroads Alliance was formed last year by leaders in the Town of Four Oaks and the City of Dunn to enhance inf rastructure, workforce readiness, product development and job growth in southern Johnston County and northern Harnett County. This partnership is much like the Workforce Development Center in Clayton, where JCC partners with Grifols and Novo Nordisk to train students and potential employees in biopharmaceutical technologies. The new Four Oaks training site will sit on 16 acres near Exit 87, across f rom the Four Oaks Business Park.
