So, let me share some of the lofty dreams we dreamed for A-B Tech this past year, the first year I have been privileged to serve as president. First, we dreamed of ensuring that all students can have confidence in the quality of instruction they receive at A-B Tech, whether it’s delivered by a veteran faculty member or a newer one … by a full-time instructor or an adjunct … in a classroom or online. To do this, we initiated Designed Teaching and Learning, a process of course development that creates academic integrity in a system where many instructors teach the same class. We also dreamed of ensuring that all students find success at A-B Tech. So, we created the Student Success & Advocacy program that assigns students a “go-to” person to serve as their advocate from their first contact with the
Valladolid, Mexico; and we welcomed members of a Nigerian Rotary Club to campus. We also dreamed of positioning A-B Tech as our community’s leader in sustainability. And, we established The Global Institute for Sustainability Technologies, a clearinghouse and demonstration center for sustainability practices and technologies. We nurtured a Small Business Incubator client, OrganoFuels, in its endeavor to manufacture an algae-based fuel for gas engines. We even held the first “Paint the Campus Green,” a college beautification effort that was so successful in the fall we repeated it again this spring. Dreams realized and those yet to be dreamed. All to help the students of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College fulfill that promise of what they will one day be.
