A Word from the Board Chair
Carl M. Short, Jr.
As chair of the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Board of Trustees, I have had the distinct honor and privilege to work with a team dedicated to making higher education in Rowan and Cabarrus counties accessible and affordable.
Rowan-Cabarrus has never been stronger than it is today. With a commitment to excellence and a passion for education, the faculty and staff of this great institution continue to reach new levels of distinction every day.
The College’s devotion to adapting to meet new challenges and needs, while still preserving what is unique and special to the College, speaks to the lasting and successful nature of this institution.
2016 was a particularly exceptional year for the College, and I continue to be astounded at the magnificent work that is being done across our campuses. The College’s recent reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) is evidence of the institution’s commitment to continuous improvement and educational quality.
I believe that I speak for the entire Board of Trustees when I say that I am proud to have Rowan-Cabarrus serving as a catalyst for advancing the region.
