IN THIS ISSUE:


WOW! WHAT A TEAM!

Congratulations June Employee of the Month: Charles Bell

Charles Bell

Charles Bell exemplifies integrity by way of his actions and conversations with his students one-on-one or in front of his classes. He does not ask students to do anything without first showing them how to complete the task himself. For example, he cleans the walls then paints the walls, he puts up decor to promote welding. Then he asks students to help keep things clean by sweeping after each class and removing all debris from the lab and classroom. He shows them hard work can make you proud of your environment, even a welding lab. Mr. Bell also shows compassion for his students when they are down and out. If students lack items they need to succeed, he will provide what they need to continue to school. He is their friend at those times and makes sure that they see, through his example, that CCCC cares about their students. Instructors like Mr. Bell are hard to come by. We and our students are fortunate to have someone like him in our midst.

Charles Bell
Welding Instructor

Q.   How long have you worked for CCCC?
A.   I have worked for the college for over 20 years full-time and seven years as an adjunct welding instructor.
Q.   What brought you to CCCC?
A.   I have always wanted the opportunity to help others learn how to weld ever since I had a life changing experience. That life changing experience was - I was working when I got out of high school for about two years as a welder's helper at a company called Northwestern Steel and Wire (sixth largest steel mill in North America). Then the recession hit and all the sudden I was a laid-off steel worker in Illinois along with about 2,000 other people who worked at the mill. When the plant shut down I had not learned enough to become a welder, so I enrolled in community college, attended a welding trade school, learned how to weld good enough to get certified as a welder in a nuclear power plant, and attended welding apprenticeship training. The instructors I met changed my life, they helped me get an excellent paying job and gave me the help I needed to succeed. So you might say I wanted to get into teaching because I wanted to give to others or give back. Yes, welding has changed many lives. I have seen this happen so many times.
Q.   Describe what you do for CCCC.
A.   I teach every welding class that CCCC has to offer and advise students as well.
Q.   Where were you born?
A.   I was born Springfield, Mo.
Q.   Where did you grow up?
A.   I grew up in multiple towns like Neosho, Mo., Columbia, Mo., Toccoa, Ga., Sterling, Ill., and moved to Sanford in 1984.
Q.   Educational credentials?
A.   I have an Associate's Degree from CCCC in General Occupational Technology, have attended three apprenticeship training schools, and hold a Journeyman card in pipefitting, pipe welding, and instrumentation. I am a Certified NCCER Craft Welding Instructor and Pipefitting Instructor. I have been a AWS Certified Welding Inspector for over nine years and have attended many classes in welding inspection. I am also a Certified Fanuc Robotic Welding Instructor for CCCC and have held over 200 welding certifications when I worked in industry.
Q.   Where do you live now?
A.   I have lived in Sanford since 1984.
Q.   Tell us about your family!
A.   I have a beautiful wife named Robin that has been by my side for over 30 years. She is really the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have the best son ever and his name is Wesley. He graduated from WCU with a degree in Athletic Training and NCSU with a Master's Degree in Education. He is currently working as a athletic trainer in what he has always loved and that is baseball.
Q.   What are some of your hobbies or other interest outside of CCCC?
A.   My hobbies are fishing and metal art.
Q.   Anything else you'd like to share with the CCCC family?
A.   This is a job that I never have dreaded going to and the reason for that is because of the great folks I work with.

WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND CCCC

Staff and Faculty of the Year

Please join the Faculty and Staff of the Year Selection Committee as we congratulate our newest winners....

Lennie Stephenson, Director of Continuing Education Medical Programs, has been chosen as our Staff Member of the Year.

Lennie was recognized for providing medical programs and courses for well over 10,000 students in our service areas of Harnett, Lee, and Chatham counties. She has actively recruited faculty and students for the first Nursing Assistant in Spanish course in the state. Additionally, she developed the first curriculum and taught the first courses in Healthcare Management Technology for our college and assisted with writing and managing a successful Rural Development grant for recruiting and enrolling more Hispanic/Latino students in medical programming. The system office and other colleges have benefited from her innovative programming and use of online and hybrid courses. Lastly, Lennie and her team have demonstrated a way of being able to balance providing quality programs with enrollment and retention by representing the highest FTE earned by program areas in their division.

Julia Herbon, Lead ESL Instructor, has been chosen as our Faculty Member of the Year.
Julia Herbon, Lead ESL Instructor, has been chosen as our Faculty Member of the Year.

Julia was selected for being a master instructor and utilizing her ability to communicate in both English and Spanish to build a tremendous rapport with all students. Currently serving as the Hispanic Liaison, she bridges the gap between the ESL population in Chatham County and CCCC while providing students with a purpose toward their successful development. It is no surprise that her retention and EFL percentages are near 100 percent and two of her former students are now successful instructors in her department. Julia also fosters teamwork and collaboration by sharing text books, ideas, and teaching techniques for improving their instruction, retention, and educational goals with her ESL instructors. She also created a learning blog for her department: http://www.cccc.edu/esl, which supplements classroom instruction and provides a forum for students and teachers to post comments and share projects and accomplishments. For the past three years, Julia has been awarded $30,000 each year for the EL/Civics Grant. Much of this grant has been used to fund the ESL Computer Literacy class and curriculum for our three-county service area, as well as providing training for staff in using technology in the classroom.

Both of these individuals will be recognized at our Professional Development Day on Dec. 14. During this event, each will each receive a plaque and a $500 cash prize. In addition, each individual will have the opportunity to represent our college at the statewide competition where the award recipient will receive an $8,000 cash prize and plaque.

With thanks, pride and recognition, we congratulate both of you for your profound work and commitment to our students and mission!

TYJE, Awarded 2nd Place at 21st Annual Jazz at Lincoln Center EE Festival

Dr. Gregg Gelb, a Sanford resident, Director of the Heart of Carolina Jazz Orchestra and Society and adjunct professor at Central Carolina Community College, is Director of the Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble which earned Second Place at the 2016 21st Annual Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition.

In New York on May 7, Jazz at Lincoln Center proudly announced the top high school jazz bands in the nation that took the highest honors at the prestigious 21st Annual Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival at Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Beginning on May 5, the top 15 high school jazz bands in the country participated in the Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival and were immersed in three days of mentoring, jam sessions, and workshops. The competition culminated in a concert wherein each top-placing band performed with their choice Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra member. The final concert also featured the world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis – whose members served as mentors for the finalist bands throughout the week – performing repertoire made famous by Duke Ellington.

Each finalist band was chosen by a panel of judges comprised of distinguished jazz musicians and historians: Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Managing and Artistic Director Wynton Marsalis; composer, arranger, and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra trombonist Chris Crenshaw; acclaimed saxophonist and jazz educator Lauren Sevian; big band leader, drummer, and Grammy-nominated recording artist Jeff Hamilton; and composer, arranger, and bassist Chuck Israels.

At the ceremony, Wynton Marsalis presented awards to each of the 15 finalist high school jazz bands. New World School of the Arts accepted the first-place trophy and an award of $5,000. Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble accepted the second place trophy and an award of $2,500. Tucson Jazz Institute accepted the third-place trophy with an award of $1,000. The remaining 12 bands were each awarded cash awards of $500. All monetary awards are to be used for improving the jazz education programs of each respective high school.

The Heart of High Performing Teams

During this cross-departmental session, participants left with an understanding of their own style of leading, communicating and getting work done as well as the styles of their coworkers!

This provided them with ways to be more effective, collaborative, and productive both professionally and personally. They also gained insight into potential blind spots and learn ways to more effectively manage them.

Each participant:

  • Better understood their individual way of leading, relating to each other, solving problems, and getting work accomplished.
  • Became aware of their own personality preferences in down-to-earth language.

Everyone received:

  • A general description of their personality style.
  • Strengths of their style.
  • Three things that motivate their behavior.
  • Potential weaknesses of their style.
  • Ways to communicate more effectively with each type.
  • Areas for potential improvement.

Participant had this to say:

"This was one of the best, if not the best, PD session I have attended. I professionally gained so much this morning to assist me as a leader. I loved having my entire staff in attendance as well, as I know we all learned more that will help us in our roles. Peter was excellent and the session was very engaging. I appreciate how you were present as well and participated. I know everyone really enjoyed this experience and I thank you for bringing it to CCCC. "

"Some Department Chairs that were in attendance are planning on incorporating this training in their upcoming team meetings."

"This was the best session I've attended in a while including the conferences I've been to. "

"I thought it was one of the best ones I've attended in a while! Also, the two hours was perfect length - not too long."

Elon's 13th Annual Teaching & Learning Conference

The 13th Annual Elon Teaching & Learning Conference will be held on Thursday, Aug. 18. This year’s conference theme, Evidence of Learning, is reflected in sessions that explore various approaches for creating learning experiences that produce significant and lasting impact.

The opening speaker is Dr. David B. Daniel, Professor of Psychology at James Madison University. Dr. Daniel has been teaching for over 25 years and his scholarship bridges research and practice. Dr. Daniel’s work focuses on “evidence demonstrated” knowledge that can be used to inform individual teaching practices and educational policy. He has been given the Society for Teaching of Psychology’s Teaching Excellence Award and he is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science. His plenary will focus on "reconstructing the learner." Research studies deconstruct the individual into pieces such as cognition, emotion, motivation. Yet, as teachers, we have an entire person in front of us every day. Dr. Daniel will explore the question of whose job is it to put the pieces back together as well as highlighting some of the unintended effects of our pedagogical approaches.

Register for the conference and view the current program at http://blogs.elon.edu/tlc2016.

QEP Update: My Academic Pathway

The QEP summer pilot is in full swing! With the assistance of the New Student Orientation staff, students at the first orientation completed the RIASEC career inventory. The RIASEC results were used to separate students into groupings and to complete orientation activities. The Admissions Counselors and advisors discussed the RIASEC scores with the student to ensure that their initial program selection matched their inventory results. Information obtained during this discussion was diligently recorded so that the QEP team can begin to obtain critical data for the next phase of QEP implementation. The data from the first new student orientation shows that the career inventory matched the initial program selection for the majority of students.

View more information on the QEP implementation at www.cccc.edu/qep/.

Notes of Thanks


Thank you for the lovely flowers and card received from my CCCC family in memory of my aunt Edna Tyson. Thank you also for the sympathy and support you gave me during my Aunt Edna's illness and passing. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and prayers during this difficult time.

Angela L. Glover
Pittsboro Campus


A Thank You...

I wanted to take a moment and express my extreme gratitude to every member of the CCCC family who was kind enough to donate their leave, send me cards, well wishes, and prayers during my time of need. My family and I were a bit taken aback with my diagnosis, but with everyone's prayers and support (and leave!) we were able to make it through this trying time. I am so blessed to not only be on the road to making a full recovery to better health, but I'm also blessed to work for an institution that is so supportive of it's colleagues!

Thank you all so much!
Adena Mitchell


Many Thanks To All CCCC

Dear Friends:

My family and I cannot thank you enough for your very kind gestures of sympathy during the passing of my father, K.R. (Dick) Hoyle, Sr. We thank you for everything: the flowers, the visits, phone calls, cards, food, texts, prayers, and your presence at the service/visitation. Losing a parent always leaves a void, but he taught us well and we'll work hard to live up to his legacy and continue to make him proud. Please know that your kindness has helped my family start the healing process and has meant so much to all of us! It has been my honor and pleasure to work with you for many years and I have always noted to others that the College is truly a special place because of the people who work here. God Bless You All!

Ken Hoyle and Family
