“CPCC’s focus
remains student
success and workforce
development.”
Despite the economic challenges
Central Piedmont Community College
and Mecklenburg County continued
to face over the past year, I’m proud
CPCC’s focus never wavered. With the
abiding support of partners like Bank
of America, Duke Energy, Presbyterian
Healthcare, Siemens, Wal-Mart, Wells
Fargo, the U.S. Department of Labor,
the N.C. Department of Commerce,
the Merancas Foundation, the Gates
Foundation, the Levine Foundation and
many others, CPCC remained true to its
mission of student success and workforce
development.
CPCC continued to educate and train
dislocated workers, returning veterans,
incumbent workers trying to keep their
competitive edge, persons changing
careers, and young adults just starting
their careers. At the same time, the
College provided customized training
solutions for a wide range of companies,
large and small, and helped hundreds
of entrepreneurs and small business
owners realize their dreams of success in
uncertain economic times.
In addition to producing well-trained
and highly skilled graduates, CPCC
worked closely with the Charlotte
Chamber of Commerce and the
Charlotte Regional Partnership to bring
more jobs to Mecklenburg County. By
showing prospective companies that
Mecklenburg County has a community
college capable and eager to respond to
the changing needs of employers, CPCC
makes this community more attractive
and competitive. These efforts include
our initiative with IHK-Karlsruhe to
offer certificate programs in advanced
manufacturing that meet the exact
specifications of German companies. This
large-scale endeavor will help Charlotte
recruit additional European companies
and more good jobs.
CPCC is also at the forefront of
creating a regional vision and strategy for
global competitiveness. The College will
endeavor to build support for making
our region the best at creating, making
and moving products. Such a vision and
regional cooperation will be critical to
maintain and improve our economic
health.
In this Annual Report, CPCC shares
with you some of its achievements
of the past year and a glimpse of its
work to enhance the quality of life
for Mecklenburg County residents
and businesses. The College is here to
serve the community. CPCC’s focus
remains student success and workforce
development. As CPCC approaches its
50th anniversary, we sincerely appreciate
your support and involvement.
Cordially,
Dr. Tony Zeiss
President

“CPCC continues

ways to achieve its
mission.”

Since the recession of 2008, many
institutions throughout the country have
been challenged to “do more with less.”
o f
t h e
B o a r d
Fewer have felt that challenge more acutely
than Central Piedmont Community
College. During these past several years,
CPCC has seen its student enrollment
skyrocket by 35 percent. During that same
time, the College’s public funding has
dropped 25 percent.
The Board of Trustees and I are
extremely proud of how the College has
responded by raising more money on its
own and achieving increased efficiencies to
reduce the effects of the recession. CPCC
now accounts directly for 39 percent of its
overall budget of more than $191 million.
This level of self-sufficiency is rare among
U.S. community colleges.
A focus on student success, workforce
development and partnering with local
business and industry has continued
unabated at CPCC. Faculty and staff
members have taken on increased
workloads, and the College has worked
even harder to secure federal, state and
private grants. Some operations outside of
the College’s core focus are now handled
by contractors at an overall savings to the
College. All of these efforts are indicative
of CPCC’s entrepreneurial spirit. Rather
than be complacent and curtail its impact,
CPCC continues to search for new ways to
achieve its mission.
As CPCC approaches its 50th
anniversary, the College has launched
an ambitious, $30-million fundraising
campaign, one of the largest campaigns
ever undertaken by a community college.
The success of this multi-year effort
will help ensure Mecklenburg County
residents and businesses always have a
college that’s responsive to their changing
needs.
Thank you for taking a moment to read
this Annual Report. We hope you will
share in our pride for CPCC.
Sincerely,
Ralph A. Pitts, Chairman

CPCC celebrates Dr. Tony
Zeiss’s 20-year presidency
4
Charlotte community leaders and CPCC
employees gathered at the Charlotte
Country Club on Jan. 20 to celebrate
Dr. Tony Zeiss’s 20th year of service
and leadership as president of CPCC.
During the event, hosted by the CPCC
Foundation, attendees honored Zeiss’s
illustrious career at CPCC, a tenure that
has spanned more than a third of the
College’s 49-year history.
Since becoming CPCC’s third president
in December 1992, Zeiss has grown CPCC
into a flourishing, multi-campus institution
that provides more than 300 innovative
curriculum and job-training programs to
Mecklenburg County residents. When
Zeiss came to the College, it had one
downtown campus. Today, CPCC is
accessible to all Mecklenburg residents
with six campuses spread out across the
county and dozens of online programs.
“Tony Zeiss has provided 20 years of
extraordinary leadership to CPCC and
our community. We all have benefitted
Dr. Tony Zeiss addresses attendees
from Tony’s vision, his commitment to
education and his fundamental belief
in community colleges as tools to fuel
economic growth,” said Ralph Pitts,
chairman of the CPCC Board of Trustees.

CPCC signs training
agreement with German
chamber – IHK-Karlsruhe
In April, CPCC signed an articulation
agreement with IHK-Karlsruhe, a
German regional chamber of industry and
commerce, making CPCC the first U.S.
community college to offer IHK-certified
job-training programs. CPCC students
are now able to earn IHK-endorsed
certificates in five programs, making
their skills more attractive to German
companies in the Charlotte region.
The agreement was signed at a Charlotte
Chamber ceremony by CPCC President
Dr. Tony Zeiss and Professor Hans-Peter
Mengele, CEO, Karlsruhe Chamber of
Industry and Commerce. Zeiss said the
agreement is a signal to all German and
other European companies initiating
“His enormous energy and passion have
inspired thousands to enroll and support
CPCC and have elevated the College to a
level of national prominence.” d
or expanding their U.S. operations that
“Charlotte and CPCC welcome them and
are open for business.”
“This agreement is huge not only for
CPCC and our students but also for
the Charlotte region,” Zeiss explained.
“European companies, particularly those
from Germany, now know Charlotte
can provide a workforce trained to their
exact specifications. We think this gives
Charlotte and CPCC students a distinct
competitive advantage. In addition, this
agreement enhances CPCC’s position as a
key economic and workforce development
partner.”
CPCC now offers IHK-endorsed
certifications in CNC Technology,
Energy Management, Mechatronics, PLC
Technology and Pneumatics Technology.
In most cases, students will be able to
earn IHK certification in one semester.
These programs will match job training
in Germany so closely that students
could start their studies in Germany and
complete them at CPCC or vice-versa. d
A Leader In Workforce Development
Economic Impact Study:
CPCC adds more than
$918 million a year to
Mecklenburg economy
A 2011 economic impact study
conducted for CPCC and other North
Carolina colleges by Economic Modeling
Specialists, Inc. (EMSI), indicates CPCC
makes a significant contribution to the
lives of its students and the economic
growth and well-being of Mecklenburg
County.
According to the study’s results,
for every dollar students invest in an
education from CPCC, they receive $3.10
in higher future income over the span
of their careers. At the same time, every
dollar of state or local tax money invested
in CPCC returns $2.
The study also found the combined
economic impact of CPCC’s operations,
student/graduate earnings and the
increased business production generated
by CPCC students and graduates equals
$918.1 million a year, about 1.4 percent of
the total Mecklenburg County economy.
EMSI looked at a range of data,
including 2009-10 academic and financial
reports from CPCC, industry and
employment data from the U.S. Census
Bureau, and a variety of studies and
surveys relating to education and social
behavior. The study’s aim was to quantify
the role CPCC plays in promoting
economic development, enhancing
students’ careers and impacting the quality
of life in Mecklenburg County. d
CPCC receives grant to
boost Charlotte-area IT
skills
CPCC and partners – Siemens Energy,
Novant Health, IBM, Business Control
Systems, Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Workforce Development Board
(Charlotte Works), Centralina
Workforce Development Board, North
Carolina Technology Association – were
awarded a $5-million grant from the U.S.
Department of Labor for a regional effort
to strengthen the information technology
skills of workers.
CPCC is administering the grant and
directing the “Regional Effort to Advance
Charlotte Information Technology” or
“REACH IT” initiative. REACH IT
will use two training strategies over a
four-year period to enhance and advance
the skills of Charlotte-area IT workers:
1) customized training for incumbent
workers, many of whom may already
have a college degree, and 2) targeted
certification training for the long-term
unemployed.
The REACH IT initiative, part of
$183 million designated by Congress to
raise the technical skill levels of American
workers over time and help businesses
reduce their need for overseas talent,
has the potential to impact more than
2,500 workers currently employed in IT
positions and persons who have been
unemployed for an extended period. d
CPCC remembers
Alan Dickson
CPCC lost a
donor, past board
of trustees member
and friend on
May 3, when Alan
Dickson passed
away following his
81st birthday.
Mr. Dickson
Alan Dickson
was a committed
board of trustees member who supported
CPCC through the Dickson Foundation
of Charlotte, N.C.
Since the College’s inception in
1963, the Dickson Foundation has been
instrumental in creating general CPCC
scholarships, establishing academic
scholarships that support students
pursuing careers in health care, and
providing unrestricted funds to help meet
the most pressing needs of the College.
In addition to funding student financial
assistance programs, Mr. Dickson was also
a champion of the CPCC Foundation’s
Campaign for Excellence, a $2-million
campaign committed to supporting
teaching excellence at the College;
the College’s Winning Partnerships
Campaign, a $6.6 million campaign which
funded college programs, equipment
and state-of-the-art technology; and a
$28 million Creating Opportunities
Campaign, which helped support CPCC
scholarships and instructional programs.
Mr. Dickson will be missed by the
CPCC and Charlotte communities. The
county lost a great man who was best
recognized for his outstanding leadership,
giving heart and warm spirit. d
CPCC acquires WTVI
Seeing that 50-year-old public TV station
WTVI was in danger of going off the
air forever, CPCC presented a proposal
to the Mecklenburg County Board of
Commissioners in March to acquire the
PBS affiliate. After lengthy discussion,
the commissioners approved CPCC’s
proposal and supplied the College with
funds to complete the acquisition and
transition by July 1.
“As we do when considering any kind
of new program or initiative, we asked two
questions during the due diligence process:
‘Will this be good for our students?’ and
‘Will this be good for the community?,’”
explained CPCC President Tony Zeiss.
“We firmly believed WTVI should
continue serving the Charlotte region, and
eventually our students would benefit by
having a TV station where they can gain
hands-on, real-world experience.”
In June, the nine-member CPCC-TV
team moved to the large WTVI station
facility located on Commonwealth
Avenue. By July 1, the newly integrated
WTVI staff was overseeing both WTVI
and CPCC’s Channel 17 on Time
Warner Cable. The day also marked the
debut of CPCC-produced programming
on WTVI, including its “Charlotte
Cooks,” “Inside Jobs,” “Great Ideas” and
“Trail of History” shows.
The College has pledged to maintain
the station as a PBS affiliate. In doing
so, CPCC established a vision for the
station – to be the best public TV station
in America by providing PBS, local and
other educational and enlightening
programming. d

President’s State of the
Union Address mentions
CPCC
President Barack Obama referenced North
Carolina for the second consecutive year
in his 2012 State of the Union Address
when he mentioned CPCC student Jackie
Bray’s efforts to connect to employment
opportunities in the country’s emerging
energy industry.
President Obama applauded CPCC’s
efforts to train dislocated workers. Jackie
was retrained at CPCC after being laid
off from her job as a packaging
mechanic. The courses she took
at CPCC helped her secure
employment at Siemens, a world
leader in energy technology
production.
The State of the Union mention
raised awareness of CPCC on the
local, regional and national level,
furthering the College’s reputation
as a national leader in workforce
development. d
By Mary Beth Marklein
USA Today
President Obama’s focus this
week on training programs for
laid-off workers reflects a longstanding view by his administration that community colleges are
the linchpin of a transitioning
workforce.
His State of the Union speech
underscored one of the ironies
about today’s changing economy:
Even with high unemployment,
many jobs in good-paying fields
such as data management and
high-tech manufacturing go unfilled because employers can’t find
enough people with the training
to do them.
To help close that gap, Obama
wants to forge partnerships between community colleges and
businesses. He said his goal is to
train 2 million workers with skills
that will lead them directly to a job.
“There really is a mismatch
out there, and it’s gotten worse
during the recession,” says
Tony Carnevale, director of the
Georgetown University Center
on Education and the Workforce,
which studies the value of college
in the labor market.
About 13.2 million Americans
are unemployed, and 10 million
more have taken part-time jobs
or given up looking for full-time
work, Carnevale’s studies show.
About 3.2 million jobs are
open, many of them requiring
less than a bachelor’s degree.
Carnevale estimates 10% to 30%
of those jobs are not being filled
because people don’t have the
skills.
Obama cited a partnership
between Siemens and Central
Piedmont Community College
in Charlotte as a success. Siemens
helped design a program offered
by the school to train workers in
lasers and robotics for a gas turbine
factory it opened in Charlotte.
It paid tuition for workers, including Jackie Bray, a single
mom who had been laid off as a
mechanic. Such partnerships are
not new but need to be expanded,
Obama said.
Leaders of community colleges,
which enroll nearly half of the
nation’s college students, welcome
the challenge. But bruised by
cuts in state funding, they hope
Obama’s budget, to be released
next month, will provide details
of how such programs will be
financed.
“New initiatives are ready to
go with the right funding,” says
Tom Snyder, president of Ivy Tech
Community College in Indiana.
“We have terrific support from our
local communities, but resources
are limited.”
Some of the programs most in
demand, such as nursing, health
care and technology, are also the
most expensive.
Companies, too, must invest
in employees, says Tom Bowler,
senior vice president at United
Technologies, which makes jet
engines, Otis elevators and other
products. It has spent more than
$1 billion on training over the past
15 years, he says.

Hendrick Automotive
Group named CPCC 2012
Employer of the Year
CPCC held its annual Cooperative (Coop) Education Awards ceremony on April
25. During the event, College leaders
gathered to recognize CPCC students,
community partners and local business
and industry that have demonstrated
excellence in cooperative education at
CPCC.
Hendrick Automotive Group received
accolades during the event for bringing
great integrity, trust and leadership to
the job-training process. Because of these
qualitites, College officials awarded the
company the “Co-op Employer of the
Year Award.” Since 2010, nine Hendrick
dealerships in the Charlotte area have
participated as co-op employers for 36
CPCC students. Of those 36 students, 33
have been hired as permanent employees.
This high success rate demonstrates
Hendrick Automotive Group’s strong
mentoring capabilities and its ability to
connect CPCC students to meaningful
careers in the automotive field.
CPCC’s Co-op program blends
classroom learning with practical work
experience. Instead of attending class in a
traditional classroom, students work with
an employer in a position directly related
to their field of study, receiving academic
credit either as an elective or as a required
class. d
Career Fair connects workers to Charlotte businesses
CPCC’s annual Career Fair drew 1,630 candidates – comprised of both
Charlotte residents and CPCC students/graduates – to the Grady Cole

Dear Friends:
Thomas E. Norman
On behalf of the Central Piedmont Community College Foundation, please accept sincere
thanks for your support of the College and its students. In 2011-12, more than $6.5
million dollars was contributed by foundations, corporations and individuals, including
College alumni. In a time of decreasing public funding for the College, your generosity is
providing much-needed financial resources for scholarships and programs. In the past year,
your contributions extended educational and career preparation opportunities to literally
thousands of individuals. Please know that your support has made a meaningful difference in
the College’s ability to meet the needs of our community.
Your gifts come as the College approaches a very important milestone in its history of
service to Charlotte-Mecklenburg. In 2013, Central Piedmont Community College will
mark its 50th anniversary. To assure that the College is positioned to continue to meet
the needs of our region’s citizens as it begins its second 50 years, we have embarked on the
“Legacy and Promise” campaign. With a goal of $30 million, it is the largest fundraising
initiative in the College’s history. Your continued support is essential to the success of this
important and ambitious undertaking. Please help us make the College’s 50th anniversary a
truly special occasion!
Again, thank you for your generosity in the past year and for what you will do in the future
for Central Piedmont Community College.
Sincerely,
Thomas E. Norman

College will celebrate its half-century of
service. CPCC opened its doors in 1963
and has grown to become the largest
community college in North Carolina,
serving 70,000 individuals a year at six
campuses in Mecklenburg County. The
$30-million fundraising target is believed
to be the largest campaign goal ever set by a
U.S. community college.
CPCC and the CPCC Foundation have
established four campaign priorities that
will address areas in which the College has
some of its greatest needs. The campaign
hopes to raise $10 million for scholarships
and other initiatives to improve studentretention rates and provide additional
services for military veterans. An additional
$9 million will be dedicated for faculty
positions, equipment, and program
development. Another $9 million will
be used for workforce development and
strategic employment initiatives that will
focus on the energy and healthcare sectors,
displaced-worker training and highschool career initiatives. The remaining $2
million sought by the campaign will be for
unrestricted purposes, allowing CPCC to
respond to emerging campus, community
and industry needs.
“CPCC is fortunate to have friends and
supporters like Pat and B. D. Rodgers,” said
Dr. Tony Zeiss, CPCC president. “They
understand the importance and value of
CPCC as an educational institution and
workforce development partner and are
willing to lead this crucial campaign. With
their leadership and the support of Christa
Overcash, Allen and Bessie Tate and active
steering committee members, this campaign
will help CPCC serve its students and
business and industry and propel us toward
our goal of becoming the nation’s leader in
workforce development.” d

Ron Harper’s benevolence
lives on at CPCC’s Harper
Campus
Ron Harper
Ronald “Ron” Lee Harper passed away
on April 14, 2012. He was a CPCC
benefactor and left behind many friends
and an extraordinary legacy of education
and workforce development.
After high school, at 17, Mr. Harper
joined the Marines. At the age of 19, he
married Katherine Hodges. They raised a
family of five and spent nearly 40 years of
their married life working together in the
printing industry. In 1971, they founded
Harper Corporation, a manufacturer
of printing press rollers. At the time of
Mr. Harper’s passing, he had factories
in Charlotte, Wisconsin, Germany and

campaign

Thailand. He was an innovator, made
Harper Corporation the global leader
in the printing roller industry, and
revolutionized printing quality with
advanced technology. Ron Harper’s
business philosophies and achievements
are told in one of his books “The Harder I
Work, The Luckier I Get.”
For the Harpers, the critical resource
was always the intelligence and competence
of the people behind the machinery.
That’s why in 2002, the Harpers made
a gift to CPCC to establish the Harper
National Flexographic Center on CPCC’s
Southwest Campus on West Hebron
Street in Charlotte. At the dedication of
the Center, CPCC President Dr. Tony
Zeiss said, “Thanks to the benevolence
of Charlotte business owners Ron and
Katherine Harper, students are being
prepared for careers, and a fast-growing
industry is being provided skilled workers.”
The Harpers did not stop there. In June
2004, they made another gift to CPCC
and the College Board of Trustees
re-named the Southwest Campus the
Harper Campus. This campus is home
to the Harper National Flexographic
Center and other technical programs
which are key to the College’s workforce
development mission. The Harpers later
established the Ron and Katherine Harper
Scholarship Endowment at CPCC.
In the 1980s, Mr. Harper served as
Chairman of the Democratic Party of
Mecklenburg County. In 1995, Governor
Jim Hunt appointed him to the N.C.
Education Fund board of directors. Mr.
Harper won the Governor’s Excellence in
Workforce Development Award in 1997.
He was passionately involved with The
Foundation of Flexographic Technical
Association and was elected to its Hall of
Fame in 1999. The Charlotte Chamber
of Commerce named the Harpers
“Manufacturing Champions” in 2007. The
Harpers were also generous supporters
in the Gaston County community after
their move to the area in 2008. The Gaston
Gazette chose the Harpers for the 2010
Spirit of Freedom award, and they received
the Order of the Long Leaf Pine State
recognition from Governor Perdue in
2010.
During his lifetime, Mr. Harper created
a guiding philosophy for his business and
personal life: “Focus only on making a
profit and we will struggle. Focus on doing
the right things consistently every day for
our customers, our employees and our
community, and success will follow.” He
wrote that the important questions in his
life were, “Have I made a difference in
this world? And have I had a substantial
positive influence on someone’s life in the
course of my lifetime? I pray I have.”
CPCC joins thousands of others
acclaiming that Ron Harper indeed made
the world a much better place, and he will
never be forgotten. d
“No college fundraising campaign
can be successful without the special
commitment, affection and generosity
of the College’s directors, its friends and
its faculty and staff.” These are the words
of CPCC Foundation director, Gary
LaBrosse. He made these remarks shortly
after accepting a position on the steering
committee of “Legacy and Promise, ”
the College’s $30-million campaign. The
campaign addresses critical needs caused
by enrollment growth and reductions in
public funding.
The College is grateful that Cindy and
Gary LaBrosse have stepped forward with
their support for CPCC and its students
with a gift of $50,000 for scholarship
assistance. “There is something to be said
about an organization when it excels in
the face of difficult challenges,” said Gary.
Cindy was quick to add, “The Charlotte
community is always buzzing about the
good things CPCC does and how it serves
some 70,000 citizens a year. We hope
sharing this story will encourage others to
support this campaign for CPCC. Imagine
our community without CPCC.” d

CPCC names Merancas Campus in honor of donors’ generosity
CPCC officials and community members,
together with Merancas Foundation
representatives and Mermans family
members, gathered for a special dedication
event on October 6, 2011, to honor the
generosity of longtime CPCC donors
Casey and Anke Mermans, founders of
The Merancas Foundation in Huntersville,
N.C. The Merancas Foundation has
supported CPCC and its many programs
for almost 20 years. In recognition of this
support, CPCC named its North Campus,
also located in Huntersville, the Merancas
Campus.
“The support of The Merancas
Foundation substantially impacts CPCC’s
ability to extend academic and career-
training opportunities to the citizens of
Mecklenburg County,” said Dr. Tony
Zeiss, president of CPCC. “Given today’s
economy, these opportunities are more
important than ever before. The Mermans
family has found a wonderful way to help
individuals and the community-at-large.”
Casey and Anke Mermans founded The
Merancas Foundation in 1989. Since the
Foundation’s inception, the couple has
helped more than 4,500 CPCC students
receive an education. The Foundation has
provided scholarship assistance to recent
high school graduates with financial need,
and it has been a strong supporter of the
College’s short-term training programs,
including programs for displaced workers
and disadvantaged adults.
In addition, The Merancas Foundation
also has helped CPCC with much-needed
program funds. In 2009, the Foundation
enabled CPCC to launch a Center for
Sustainability to train students for careers
associated with “green” industries and
environmental sustainability. More
recently, The Merancas Foundation was
instrumental in establishing an Engineering
Career Academy to help CharlotteMecklenburg students prepare for
high-demand engineering careers and an
Integrated Systems Technology Certificate
Program to prepare students for other highdemand, high-salary technical careers. d

At CPCC’s 2012 commencement

Dr. Tony Zeiss presented Mr. Casey
Mermans with the College’s 2012

A Leader In Workforce Development
Grant from Wells Fargo
Foundation fosters
employment opportunities
In spring 2012, CPCC received a grant
of $250,000 from the Wells Fargo
Foundation to assist U.S. military veterans
in gaining meaningful employment in
the Charlotte region. The funds will be
utilized to provide scholarship assistance
for veterans to obtain career training
as well as counseling and coaching
services specifically designed to meet

their needs. In addition, grant funds will
be used to link veterans with potential
employers and promote positive workplace
environments for veterans. A portion of
the grant will support Charlotte Bridge
Home, a newly formed nonprofit entity
in the Charlotte area, linking veterans to
support services as they are preparing to
enter the civilian workforce.
At present, U.S. military veterans are
unemployed at rates higher than those
of the general population; and in recent
years, CPCC has experienced a dramatic
rise in its veteran enrollment. Since 1995,
enrollment has grown from approximately
500 to more than 2,300 veteran students.
This increase is attributed to both an influx
of veterans returning from service in Iraq
and Afghanistan and veterans who have
lost their jobs in the current economic
downturn. These veterans are seeking to
secure the skills and knowledge required
to obtain meaningful employment in the
Charlotte region.
“Our Wells Fargo Veteran Team
members tell us that employment is a
priority need for their fellow veterans,”
noted Kendall Alley, community banking
regional president for Wells Fargo in
Charlotte, N.C. “We know that providing
tuition for professional certification,
combined with individualized career
planning and placement, is a critical step in
securing a job. The skill sets and on-thejob training that these men and women
receive through military experience can be
an asset to any employer. Translating that
experience can be a challenge. The key is
to provide support services to help them
transition from active military service to
civilian service as a valued employee.”
CPCC is grateful to the Wells Fargo
Foundation for enabling the College to
extend financial assistance to U.S. military
veterans, career-related counseling and
coaching services. We are also grateful
for the community-based effort to
address unemployment among veterans
in the Charlotte area, which involves
a collaboration between CPCC and
Charlotte Bridge Home. d

Carolinas HealthCare System’s
commitment to the community and its
quality of life shines through in its
partnership with CPCC’s Performing
Arts program. A program sponsor since
2010, CHS believes that the “health of a
community can be measured in many ways.”
“By definition we at CHS focus our
efforts on prevention and treatment.
Nonetheless, the maintenance of
individual health and wellbeing is a holistic
process influenced by numerous variables.
One of the most significant of these
variables is quality of life. This region is
truly exceptional when it comes to artistic
”
occupations that are classified as highdemand in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
region and thus provide the best
opportunity for employment.
The Pathways to Employment
curriculum has three main components:
occupational classes teach job-specific
skills; basic skills classes enhance reading,
writing, and math abilities and prepare
students to obtain a GED or high school
diploma; and employment-readiness
classes teach students how to write a
résumé and cover letter and how to
dress for and conduct themselves in an
interview.
This year, 422 individuals were served
by CPCC’s Pathways to Employment
program. Since its inception, Pathways
has graduated more than 2,000 students.
Even factoring in the recent economic
downturn, 65% of Pathways graduates
have found employment within nine
months of completing the program.
Tommy Norman, president of the
CPCC Foundation Board of Directors,

dependent on external, private sources
of support. This grant helps the College

Executive Officer Michael C. Tarwater.
For nearly 40 years, thanks to CHS and
other performing arts supporters, CPCC
has provided the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
community with the finest music and
theatre, while offering professional and
educational opportunities to students
pursuing performing arts careers.
Thousands of arts patrons each year enjoy
theatre, opera and musical productions
such as “Rapunzel,” “The Pirates of
Penzance,” “Hairspray,” “Cabaret,”
“Legally Blonde” and “The Magic Flute”
in the Dale F. Halton Theater, Pease

Supporting CPCC Performing Arts is
a system-wide community relations effort
at CHS. “We take pride in the community
relations work done by our staff and the
individual volunteer work done by our
employees. As the largest employer in
the metro area, we believe it is vital for
CHS to take an active leadership role in
supporting the arts, and to provide an
example that will encourage employers of
all sizes to get involved. The quality of our
arts community is something that clearly
distinguishes this metropolitan area from
others throughout the country,” says

Fifth Third Bank (NC) contributed

a cohort of 100 female students attending
CPCC. The students are first-generation,
low-income college students, the majority
of whom are single parents. The financial
literacy course provides students with
essential skills that will serve them well
throughout their lives and will help them
avoid financial mistakes and pitfalls.
Dr. Kevin McCarthy, vice president for
Institutional Advancement at the College,
said, “Fifth Third’s support is extremely
meaningful. These at-risk female students
will be provided with the requisite training

named in honor of Mr. Sloan.
Pete, as he preferred to be
called, left school at the age of
17 to join the Army, serving as
a military policeman in Tokyo.
When he returned to Charlotte,
he married Marcia, and they
moved to South Carolina where
he enrolled at Presbyterian
College and graduated in three
years.
In 1973, Pete became
president and CEO of Lance;
and in 1977, he was elected
chairman of the board. Pete was
recognized as one of Charlotte’s
most influential citizens, serving on
multiple boards including NCNB,
Bassett Furniture, Charlotte Chamber
of Commerce, PCA International and
the Cato Corporation. In 2004, he was
inducted into the North Carolina Business
Hall of Fame.
Marcia lived a life of dedication, love and

about his Legacy Society gift, he said,
“Loretta and I chose investing in CPCC
because of our appreciation and love for
the College.
My involvement at CPCC over the
years has helped me understand the value
of a two-year education and helped me see
how monies to a community college can
be maximized. Scholarship funds stretch
much further at CPCC than they do at
four-year institutions with higher tuition
costs.
Loretta and I also know first-hand
the role CPCC has played in providing
opportunities for many of our citizens
who otherwise would not be able to profit
from higher education. Many of my
dental assistants, and all of the hygienists

Sensoria features Russell
Goings, Romare Bearden
collection and Bechtler
Museum exhibit
Sensoria, an annual celebration of the
arts, returned to CPCC the week of
April 13 – 21, 2012. Events included
appearances by distinguished poet Russell
Goings, whose private collection of works
by his friend Romare Bearden were part of
a Sensoria exhibit on the College’s Central
Campus. Bearden’s life and work were
the inspiration behind a collaboration
between CPCC Dance Theatre and the
North Carolina Dance Theatre that
included workshops and a performance.
Another highlight of the week was a
CPCC Music Department concert in
partnership with the Bechtler Museum of
Modern Art. This pairing of visual art and
music featured works from the Bechtler
that were part of a companion exhibit at
CPCC’s Ross Gallery.
Sensoria events at other CPCC
campuses included two dynamic exhibits,
Russell Goings (left) during interview
“Courage” and “Para Todos Los Ninos” at
the Levine Campus in Matthews. Through
a partnership with the Levine Museum of
the New South and the North Carolina
Humanities Council, this exhibit featured
a panel discussion on the history of
school desegregation. Additionally, the
Charlotte Writers’ Club hosted a member
reading and open microphone night at the
College’s Cato Campus.
This year’s Sensoria celebration also
featured its first ever “CPCC Indoor
Artwalk,” an event featuring the work of
local and regional artists. d

CPCC Legacy Society
CPCC Legacy Society members have
named the CPCC Foundation as a
recipient of a planned gift. William
Claytor, chair of the Foundation’s Planned
Giving Committee, says, “CPCC describes
a planned gift as a gift received as part of
a thoughtful plan. It is a gift that often
involves two components of benefit: one
for the College and one for the donor.”
Legacy Society members have given to
CPCC in their wills or trusts, through
life insurance, a charitable gift annuity
or individual retirement account (IRA)
designation, or with a gift of real property
or other planned gift option. Legacy
members assure CPCC will remain a vital
resource in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
region for many years to come.
To learn more about planned giving and
the Legacy Society, please contact Brenda
Lea, executive director, Institutional
Advancement, at 704.330.6869 or via

This year, CPCC Opera Theatre
celebrated the music of Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart in its production of
“The Magic Flute,” and paid tribute to
two of America’s greatest composers,
George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein,
in “Made in the USA.” Maestro Alan
Yamamoto returned to CPCC to conduct
the orchestra and chorus for each event.
CPCC is grateful for its Opera
Society members who assure both
quality performances for the Charlotte
community and opportunities for
performing arts students to explore and
refine their talents. d

Memorial and
Honor Gifts
Memorial and honor gifts are
a special way to thoughtfully
remember family and friends.
Some CPCC donors make a
provision for gifts to be made
to the College at their passing,
or their families make the
request. Other donors make
gifts of appreciation in honor of
someone who has been a vital
part of their lives, for a birthday,
anniversary, Christmas or other
notable occasion. Memorial and
honor gifts are often an especially
meaningful tribute. d
