Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Annual Report 2018

A Word from the Board Chair

Carl M. Short, Jr.

Every day I see the hard work and dedication of the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College faculty and staff members. As chair of the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Board of Trustees, I continue to have the privilege of working with these individuals who are dedicated to making higher education accessible and affordable in Rowan and Cabarrus counties.

2018 was a year of growth for the College with the expansion of four campuses and several academic programs. I continue to be amazed at the engagement with our partners and drive of the College and our communities to make our region successful and attractive to new industry and business ventures. In preparation for the institution’s future needs, the College doubled its acreage at South Campus. 2018 also saw the completion of the first solar energy project on North Campus. Due to this generous donation, students will have more opportunities for scholarships.

I am sure that I speak for the entire Board of Trustees when I say that I am proud to have Rowan-Cabarrus serve as a catalyst for advancing the region.
