50 YEARS This year marks 50 years that your College has been serving our region. Determined community leaders forged ahead and laid the groundwork for Nash Technical Institute. This was a time when some technical institutes drew opposition from other colleges, skeptics, and nay sayers. I can recall being told “war stories” by early presidents who had to overcome huge obstacles to get community colleges operational. Memories fade and most people have forgotten that Nash Technical Institute began at Benvenue High School and later in the old Stoney Creek building with its leaky roof. These humble beginnings make us appreciative of where we are today. Nash Community College’s mission was grounded in technical programs then, and continues that commitment today. Who would have believed that Nash would grow to offer nearly 100 degrees, graduating approximately 600 students annually, while serving over 12,000 citizens. Excerpt from 2016 -2017 Community Report, Message from the President, Dr. Bill Carver

Advanced Manufacturing and Cosmetology Buildings Groundbreaking Ceremony Nash Community College broke ground on two new buildings ​- the Advanced Manufacturing and Cosmetology ​buildings​- on Thursday, October 12, 2017​. ​The facilities a ​ re slated to open​in the summer of 2018. The Advanced Manufac­turing facility totaling approximately 16,000 square feet will provide academic and training space for students enrolled in ComputerIntegrated Machining, Electrical Systems Technology, Industrial Systems Technology, Welding Technol­ogy, and Electronics Engineering Technology programs.

For the 2017-2018 academic year, 302 students are enrolled in the Early College High School, a fiveyear high school within the Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools system, located on Nash Community College’s campus. Early College students take a combination of high school and college courses, and upon successful completion, they graduate with both a high school diploma and either an Associate Degree or two years of college credit transferable to a four-year institution. In 2016, Early College seniors earned $1,000,260 million in scholarships for transfer to four-year institutions.

The Cosmetology Building, totaling approximately 10,000 square feet, will include instructional salon lab areas, academic classrooms, lab instructional areas for manicure and pedicure and general program support spaces.

NCC Nursing Students Serve On State Board Two Nash Community College Nursing students have been selected to serve on the North Carolina Association of Nursing Students (NCANS) Board. Brittney Pendergrass, left, of Castalia is the District IV Director at Large and Jennifer Schwartz, right, of Louisburg is the Association’s Treasurer. Pendergrass and Schwartz will each serve a one year term representing North Carolina nursing students. They will be involved in developing the State Conference. “Both students are professionally driven to network with other schools and nurses who are in the profession in order to gain more knowledge and realworld experience. They will represent Nash Community College’s Nursing program well,” NCC Nursing Instructor Tina Treish said. Both are expected to graduate in May 2018. The students were selected for their excellence in leadership, superior academic achievement, proven dedication to the field of nursing and passionate contributions to the community. Since 1958, the NCANS has served as the statewide professionalizing vehicle of North Carolina nursing students. Conceived as a student branch of the North Carolina Nurses Association, NCANS has historically works with NCNA to aid nursing students in making the transition from students to licensed nurses.

The location of the new facilities ​expands the south end of campus, directly across from the c​ ampus’ newest building - the ​Continuing Education and Public Safety Building. As these​two​programs vacate Building C, the existing facility will be repurposed to allow growth of the Early College High School program.
