An Equal Opportunity College/Affirmative Action Employer

PresidentDear Alumni and Friends:

These past few years at Mitchell Community College have

been very exciting on several counts, but none more so than

the concurrent construction of new facilities and our dramatic

enrollment growth. Thanks to the state bond issue of 2002

and the county education bonds of 2005, we have been able

to build one new major building on each of our campuses:

the Workforce and Technology Building on our Continuing

Education Campus on West Front Street (formerly the D. Matt

Thompson School), the Student Services Center on the historic

main campus at the corner of Walnut Street and Mulberry

Street, and the new Mooresville Classroom Building on the

corner of Academy Street and Iredell Avenue. All together, these three major buildings total an

amazing 80,000 sq. ft. of instructional space.

In addition we have renovated the first floor of the Main Building to provide seven new high

quality classrooms. Interestingly, while we were constructing these buildings, our enrollments

in all of our locations increased dramatically: up 5% in 2007, up 11% in 2008, up 23% in 2009,

and up 5% in 2010 for a grand total of 44%!

During this same period we have built new parking: a 70-space parking lot in Mooresville,

a new parking lot on West End Avenue and a new lot on Walnut Street as well as having

purchased a 60-space lot at the old Davis Hospital on West End Avenue.

We have also made additions to the metal buildings used for technical programs such as

welding and HVAC at our Drake Street Annex.

We are fortunate that the construction of these new facilities and the dramatic enrollment

growth have coincided. Learning is not bound by the four walls of a classroom any longer

to be sure. During the current year, a wireless computer network will be developed on all of

our campuses providing students, faculty, and staff with the capacity to log-on their laptop

computers anywhere, anytime they are at Mitchell. This opens direct connectivity to the

Internet and a multitude of other learning materials and programs including library resources

here on campus and literally around the world.

While all of these improvements have enhanced the historic beauty of our physical

environment, they have added significantly to the learning and teaching opportunities as well.

It is remarkable that an institution with a 152 year history offers such an array of facilities and

amenities of the 21st century. Making Mitchell Community College the primary educational

and training resource for the citizens of Iredell County is a goal that we will continuously seek

to play and to improve on. We deeply appreciate the help and support of this community and

our funding agencies in pursuing this goal.

Thank you!

Douglas O. Eason, President

Creating SuccessThrough Progress

Mitchell—Another Year of Growth and ExpansionMitchell Community College’s enrollment experienced another year of double-digit growth in 2009-10 as a record number of younger full-time students enrolled, attracted by the economical, quality education available as family finances tighten. Students are drawn by streamlined articulation agreements between community colleges and our state’s universities offering a gateway to a bachelor’s degree. In addition, laid-off workers looking for new job skills are flooding our doors, some seeking short-

term training. The entire North Carolina Community College System has seen unprecedented enrollment increases of at least 31,000 students. That means the System has grown by a student size equivalent to our state’s largest public university, NC State University. Of the 58 community colleges in the state, Mitchell has ranked fourth in percent of growth. Fortunately, Mitchell had funding available to expand facilities in Statesville and Mooresville. The new Student Service building completed

last fall is being fully utilized this year. Renovation to the Main Building provided additional classrooms and offices for instructors. And the Mooresville classroom is on schedule. These and other expansion projects were funded by the Iredell County 2005 education bond referendum, a construction grant from the North Carolina Community College System, a $250,000 grant from the Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation, and public and private donations.

Creating SuccessThrough Leadership

Dr. Steve Hill has been appointed to the Mitchell Community College board of trustees by the Iredell/Statesville Board of Education. Hill worked in the Iredell-Statesville School System for 28 years before retiring in 2009. In his most recent assignment, he served as assistant superintendent for career and technical education. In that role he worked closely with Mitchell on technical education programs for high school students. Hill began his

college career at Mitchell. “Steve’s extensive background in education in Iredell County makes him a

wonderful addition to our Board,” said Dr. Ralph Bentley, board chair. “He understands the challenges we are facing with significant enrollment growth.” In a separate action, three members were reappointed to the Board—Dr. Ralph L. Bentley, appointed by the Board of Education; Timothy E. Dearman, appointed by the Governor; and James T. (Ted) Millsaps, appointed by the County Commissioners. The appointment and reappointments each constitute four-year terms.

Jack Horner Named Band DirectorMitchell Community College announces the selection of Jack

Horner as the College’s new community band director. Horner

graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a master's in

music education. He served as band director for high schools in

Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina winning

numerous state awards. He played professionally with orchestras

and has performed for Holiday on Ice and Ringling Brothers.

Horner has played with the Mitchell Community Band for over

five years. The band welcomes members of the community

who enjoy practicing and performing for formal and informal

community concerts. They meet Mondays at 7 p.m.

Mitchell Receives Jerry Award

Mitchell Community College was one of 10 community and technical colleges to be honored with a 2010 Jerry Award from the Charlotte Regional Partnership. Dr. Douglas Eason accepted the award on behalf of the College. This public sector award recognized the group of colleges for providing business and industry “with the edge they need to improve efficiency and remain competitive in the global marketplace.” Community and technical colleges provide customized training programs and advanced education to support economic development initiatives. They also provide communities with affordable, accessible education. The private sector award was presented to US Airways.The annual Jerry Awards recognize individuals or organizations that have made significant, ongoing contributions to economic development within the 16-county Charlotte USA region. The awards are named for the first recipients: Jerry Orr, Charlotte aviation director, and Jerry Richardson, Carolina Panthers franchise owner.

Creating SuccessThrough Quality Programs

Drafting instructor Shawn

Fraver is using CTL to make

learning relevant in his

Advanced Solids Modeling

classes. Students use Lego®

kits to learn 3D modeling and

reverse engineering. They

measure each Lego piece

with calipers, and then draw

each piece using SolidWorks

modeling software. The

students work in teams and

once all the pieces are drawn,

they are assembled and then

output to a Rapid Prototype

Machine (3D printer) to create

the physical solid parts. The

parts are then tested for form,

fit, and function. The Lego

kits have up to 70 individual

pieces.

“The Lego project was a

blast,” said Jeremy Clifton.

“I learned about reverse

engineering. The project

taught me everything from

design to production. I also

learned the importance of

tolerances.”

This fall Clifton is applying

what he learned at Abundant

Manufacturing in Statesville

where he is working a co-

op assignment. There he is

providing drafting support

for a new transmission design

using SolidWorks.

Kevin Smith, president of

Abundant Manufacturing

sees the benefits of Mitchell’s

program. “Clifton quickly

adapted to our design

processes,” said Smith. “We

are pleased with his skill and

productivity.”

Clifton, who will graduate in

December, became interested

in mechanical engineering

after seeing CNC machines on

The Discovery Channel’s How

It’s Made.

For Joey Davis, the project

provided valuable experience.

“It was like working for a

company—being assigned a

product to build, and seeing it

from design to manufacture,”

he said.

Davis, who was laid off

from a manufacturing job,

is pursuing a degree in

mechanical engineering and

will graduate in May.

Mechanical Engineering Brings Learning to LifeWith Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) students live it, learn it, remember it.

Clifton and Davis show SolidWorks drawing.

Mitchell Community College’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) incorporates knowledge gained from textbooks with “real-life” scenarios in what is called Contextual Teaching and Learning or CTL. The QEP, a required component of the SACS re-accreditation process kicked off in 2007 with developmental math. Today, CTL has been adopted by other curricula

and a variety of challenges have been constructed. Mark Smalley, a business law instructor, has created a project centered on the Titanic. Students learn the technicalities of business law with regard to wills and responsibility. Sharon Rouse, mechanical engineering coordinator’s accident management scenario for the industrial safety course lets students

gain a working knowledge of OSHA procedures for accident management. Sally Dellinger, human service coordinator, uses simulated client/helper scenarios to develop interviewing and case management skills. The CTL is made possible by a Federal Perkins Grant, and plans have been made to further develop the QEP program so that the largest

number of students possible can benefit from the process.

Mitchell’s Quality Enhancement Plan Connects Life and Learning


Creating SuccessThrough Support for Our Students

Mitchell opened a new

Advising Center over

the summer to make fall

registration faster and easier

for new students. In the past,

students had to wait until

August when faculty advisors

returned in order to register.

With the Center in place,

students could register over

the summer.

Five part-time counselors

worked with prospective

students to answer questions,

coordinate placement

tests, provide one-on-one

counseling about educational

goals, explore career interests,

and complete an educational

plan. This enabled students

to use WebAdvisor to register

online.

“With our surge in

enrollment, this added

service means students get

a better first impression of

the College,” said Donavon

Kirby, director of counseling.

Typically students waited in

long lines and were rushed

through the process. “With the

Center, counselors were able to

spend quality time with each

student which we believe will

make them more successful as

they start their education,” he

added.

Faculty advisors like the

new process too. “With our

growing enrollment, the

number of students assigned

to a faculty advisor grew too,”

said Kirby. “The Center helped

reduce that workload.”

Over the summer, the Center

had over 2,000 visits and

created over 1,500 educational

plans which gave students

access to register online

through WebAdvisor. Plans

are to use the Center again for

spring and fall registrations.

The MIND Center at Mitchell provides one-on-one instruction to any student in academic need. The fees associated with tutoring are part of each student’s annual tuition, so no student is ever

denied tutoring based on their financial situation. Because of heightened enrollment over the past two years, the MIND Center is servicing more students than ever.

“I am pleased to see that so many students are now taking advantage of this wonderful learning opportunity,” said Tony Ricciardelli, MIND Center coordinator who oversees both the Statesville and Mooresville learning facilities. “Helping students before they fall behind is so critical to their success.” Last spring, the MIND Center moved to its new location in the Student Services building. Now students and tutors have individual learning labs with computers and blackboards. The updated facility not only allows for expansion, but it

enhances the quality of each student’s experience. This fall the Center is adding Smarthinking, an online tutorial service that is available to students 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The program is designed to help expand academic support services through the Web. The service will supplement the MIND center and help students who work or who have difficulty getting to campus for additional support from either their instructor or the MIND Center. This is one more way that Mitchell Community College is working to ensure the success of each student.

Creating SuccessThrough Community Support

The Ambassadors at Mitchell

Community College are a

dedicated group of students

who have been selected to

represent the College at

various local events and school

functions. They also execute

two charitable events during

the school year.

Last spring, the

Ambassadors raised money

for Life Span Circle School

on Broad Street. Life Span is

an early learning center that

services young children from

the ages of 2-4, and more

specifically, it also assists

children with special needs.

Mitchell Community College

Ambassadors raised enough

money to provide the school

with enough additional

supplies to last well over a year.

Everything from toilet paper

to play dough was purchased.

The Ambassadors raised

approximately $600 for the

project, and Dollar General in

Statesville price matched the

monies spent in their store

allowing for the donation

of additional supplies. The

children and teachers were

overjoyed and extremely

grateful to the College for its

generous faculty and student

donations.

Mitchell launched a formal mentoring program this fall for new instructors. Through the program, experienced faculty serve as advocates and supporters to guide new faculty members and help them adapt quickly to the Mitchell environment. Mentoring encourages the exchange of ideas and can enhance productivity by showing mentees how to use the many resources available on campus. It also provides social support.

“A mentor can be an invaluable resource to a new instructor,” said Dr. Tim Brewer, vice president for instruction. “Whether it’s academics or understanding our policies and procedures, the mentor will be available to answer questions or provide valuable information. “ Mentors will work with their mentees for the entire 2010-11 academic year.

Giving


was one of 41 NC community

colleges to receive funds to

support the College’s Minority

Male Mentoring Program.

NC Community Colleges

received $900,000 in recurring

funding, along with a $407,000

College Access Challenge

Grant to expand or launch

college efforts that promote

the development of personal,

professional and academic

growth among minority males.

“Minority male mentoring

programs at our community

colleges provide a lifeline to

many young men who have

great potential but often lack a

support system,” said Dr. Scott

Ralls, NC Community College

System President. “Since we

began this initiative in 2003,

we have had many students in

this program receive two-year

degrees, go on to four-year

colleges and universities,

and find meaningful

employment as a result of the

encouragement and support

they receive.”

The focus of the program

is to increase graduation

and retention rates among

minority males in NC

Community Colleges and

other institutions of higher

learning. In addition to

providing a support system

to minority males, many

of the programs offer

activities in areas such as

academic reinforcement,

public speaking, relationship

building, effective

communication and

employability.

Mitchell Receives $25K for Minority Male Mentoring

This year marks the 95th birthday of the pipe organ in Shearer Hall. And to celebrate, Mitchell is soliciting gifts to enable its restoration. The organ which was installed in the fall of 1915 was made possible with the support of Charles Ernest Mills, an Iredell County native and prominent businessman. He also served as choir director of Statesville’s Presbyterian Church. Mills agreed to pay half of the cost if the College agreed to pay the other half. The organ, which cost $2,500 was dedicated on December 8, 1915. “The College and community have been pleased with the renovation of Shearer

Hall which was completed in the fall of 2009, said Harry Stillerman, director of development. “Restoration of the organ is a natural extension to that project.” Restoration is estimated to cost $25,000. For more information, call (704) 878-4321 or e-mail [email protected].

Alumni

Mrs. Margaret Bell Bloodworth ’34 was named recipient of the 2010 Distinguished Alumni Award. She passed away on April 13 of this year after a short illness. The Alumni Association presented this award posthumously to Mrs. Bloodworth in celebration of her life and in recognition of

her distinguished service to our institution. Her daughter Diane Bloodworth Forrester accepted the award on her behalf at Fall Convocation. Mrs. Bloodworth grew up in Georgia and graduated from Decatur High School in 1931. Following graduation she attended The Crighton Business School and later graduated from Mitchell College. She began her extensive teaching career at Barium Springs where she taught until the beginning of WWII in 1942. Her first students remained in contact with her. Each year they gathered at Barium Springs for a class reunion where Miss Bell was always their guest of honor. In June of 1945 Margaret married Nick Bloodworth.

She had a son Michael Hoyt Bloodworth, born in 1946 and a daughter, Diane Bloodworth Forrester born in 1950. Mrs. Bloodworth began teaching in the Decatur City Schools in 1947 until retirement in 1975. Even at an advanced age, Margaret remained remarkably active in organizations. She participated in the AARP, Red Hat Club, Delta Kappa Gamma, Church Women United, Emory Presbyterian Woman, Georgia Retired Teachers Association and DeKalb Retired Teachers Association. She held responsible positions in all of these groups and served as the president of most of them. Margaret was a member of

Emory Presbyterian Church. It has been said that Mrs. Bloodworth was a "Collector of Friends.” She was a regular attendee at alumni reunions, getting together with classmates Alice Barber Bennett, Elizabeth Connolly and Ellen Page Crenshaw. In the 1934 Circle yearbook, Margaret Bell of Decatur, Georgia was described by her classmates as “Filled to the brim with personality.” She was voted “Most Popular,” “Best All-Around” and the student with the “Most Personality.” This year’s Alumni Scholarships will be given in Mrs. Bloodworth’s name.
