CCCC receives gift from state veterinary academy

01.01.2004 • Uncategorized

Sanford, NC - The veterinary medical technology program at Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) will benefit from a recent $1,000 donation by the North Carolina Academy of Small Animal Medicine (NCASAM).

Sue Stephens, NCASAM president, presented the check to CCCC's President, Dr. Marvin Joyner, during a recent NCASAM conference at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center. NCASAM has supported CCCC's veterinary medical technology program for the past 15 years.

"Each year, this money helps us purchase equipment and supplies that we can't buy with our state budget allotment," explained Dr. Paul Porterfield, veterinary medical technology chair. "This money will also enable us to assist students in our program financially."

CCCC was the first of two community colleges in North Carolina to offer veterinary medical technology. Students receive an associate of applied science upon graduation. The program is offered during the weekdays at the Lee County Campus in Sanford.
