A MESSAGE FROM

The PresidentThis year brought considerable change to CGTC and the communities in which we serve. Not only have we experienced continued tough economic times at our institution, we also saw changes within the Technical College System of Georgia that included implementation of the semester schedule, curriculum restructuring, and major legislative changes affect-ing Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship program. Through a strong commitment to our students, CGTC stayed focused on our mission of providing a high-quality education that is accessible to all citizens.

The last twelve months have also brought a renewed emphasis on ensuring our students achieve success with CGTC’s participation in the Achieving the Dream initiative (ATD). This national reform network is dedicated to community college student success and completion, and it was our honor to be invited to participate. Over the next three years, the College leadership and ATD teams will evaluate, review, and implement practices that will significantly impact and improve the lives of our students. This initiative, along with Complete College Georgia, the state’s higher education completion plan, will ensure our students have every opportunity available to them to attend college and graduate with a credential, resulting in a stronger workforce for Georgia.

In conjunction with our focus to enhance student achievement, we began construction on a 77,000 square foot facility at our Milledgeville Campus. The new Center for Health Sciences will accommodate an additional 1,600 students with new and enhanced program offerings. Construction is soon to be complete, and classes are expected to be offered early next year. Planning and research also began in mid-2011 for an advanced technology center to provide customized industry training along with credit and non-credit courses.

CGTC’s role in economic development is crucial to the success and development of our citizens. We work tirelessly along with our com-munity partners to ensure that Central Georgia employers have a well-trained workforce by providing customized training, business and industry programs, and continuing education. Last year, we served over 184 companies and offered 51,799 employees industry training. We are committed to helping provide the tools necessary to support our communities in a way that fosters growth and prosperity.

It has been my pleasure to serve with the over 600 dedicated faculty and staff that make up one of the finest technical colleges in Georgia.

Mike D. Moye

Dr. Moye retired on May 31, 2012, after 37 years of service to technical educa-tion. Prior to his service as the president of CGTC beginning in February of 2010, Dr. Moye served as president of Lanier Technical College; president of Moultrie Technical College; vice president of instructional and student services at West Georgia Technical College; and assistant professor and coordinator of the Open Entry Program at Valdosta State University.

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERSJuly 1, 2011 - June 30, 2012

CGTC operated on a budget of almost $31 million in FY 2012. This budget is comprised of federal funds, state funds,and local revenue (tuition, fees, continuing education, and other sources). Funds reserved from prior years were usedto supplement the revenue earned in FY 2012. The decrease in revenue of $3,741,672 from FY 2011 to FY 2012 isattributed to the conversion from the quarter system to the semester system.

Additional Sources of Financial SupportFunds are not always available for necessary projects and the CGTC Foundation serves to bridge that gap.When space was needed for a larger bookstore, the CGTC Foundation Board of Trustees voted to raise the funds necessary to purchase a building, located at 3177 Macon Tech Drive, from Goodwill Industries. Agrand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly expanded and relocated CGTC Bookstore was held on November 15, 2011. Foundation Trustees were joined by CGTC faculty and staff, as well as representatives from the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce.

CGTC is committed to college completion for all students and is proud to be one of 25 institutions selected this yearinto the Achieving the Dream National Reform Network – the nation’s most comprehensive non-governmental reform network for student success in higher education history.

FACILITIES AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Growth and New Opportunities

Expanding to meet demand• A Campus Master Plan for fiscal years 2012 - 2014 was completed.

The plan provides a framework for developing environments that support, enhance, and inspire students, faculty, and staff to achieve the academic mission of the College.

• A new facility was constructed for the Facilities Department in order to consolidate all functions to one location. The new building includes a warehouse, loading dock, employee training room, and office space. The construction of the new facility provided a designated space for shipping, receiving, asset management, and surplus for the Office of Administrative Services. Adjacent space was provided for the Office of Technology for use with storage and distribution of technology equipment.

• The security building was renovated and expanded for the Depart-ment of Public Safety. The expanded building will house CGTC’s police and security personnel. CGTC added four additional POST certified officers and three 2012 Dodge Charger pursuit vehicles. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between the Macon Police Department and CGTC, establishing jurisdictional and operational guidelines for joint operations on the Macon Campus. A MOU was also signed between CGTC and Macon State College outlining the services that each agency will provide reciprocally in the event of an emergency.

Driven by the needs of our community• CGTC was approved as a registered North American Board of Certi-

fied Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) Solar Heating Entry Level Exam provider.
