Message from the
President
Dr. Ervin V. Griffin, Sr.
President/Chief Executive Officer
Halifax Community College has experienced
a very exciting year this past year. HCC has
completed a Long Range Plan and a Facilities
Master Plan and we have experienced stable
enrollment over the last year. We are currently
reviewing our mission, vision and values
statements and have opened that revision
process to the community. We continue to
reach out to the Roanoke Valley through the news, web and print outlets and have increased our bandwidth allowing
for richer web content. Our Foundation has added members to its board and is looking to embark on future fundraising
ventures. We are also developing a speakers’ series as part of our campus and outreach activities. Additionally, we have
added G-mail accounts for students to communicate with each other, faculty and staff. Another exciting technology update is that our students who have wireless (Wi-Fi) devices can now access the wireless student network from certain
areas around campus.
HCC now offers more than 40 academic programs including associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates. Due to the
strong tie to local businesses and industries, each of our programs offers our students the opportunity for a wellrounded and practical education. For 2007-08, we celebrated with our graduates when 452 earned degrees, diplomas
and certificates, including 55 GED graduates who participated in the graduation ceremony. Our Continuing Education
division offers several courses for training and development for employers in our region. In 2007-08, we served 5,843
citizens in our Continuing Education programs. We are very proud of our success in providing updated Workforce Development Programs for our business and industry partners and we are continually providing opportunities to work with
them to meet the training and development needs of employees.
We are an open door institution and I invite you to visit our campus often. We believe that students and citizens in our
service area are our greatest assets. I invite you to explore the opportunities available by visiting in person, calling (252)
536-HCC1 or visiting www.halifaxcc.edu. Remember, HCC is the community college where “Learning Comes to Life In
Pursuit of Excellence.”
HCC Inaugurates Griffin as
Fourth President
Halifax Community College held an Inaugural Convocation
and Investiture of its fourth president, Dr. Ervin V.
Griffin, Sr. Oct. 19 in The Centre. Community college
representatives, government officials, community
leaders, university and college delegates, and other
distinguished guests were in attendance.
The event was described as a monumental and historic
occasion, since Griffin is the first African-American
president to serve at HCC. Speakers pledged unanimous
support for Griffin during the proceedings. “It is a great
day because we have all come together here with a
common goal—the celebration of education. That’s
what this is really about,” said Representative Angela
Bryant.
Griffin was referred to as a man of vision and
purpose and many have noticed that he “hit the
ground running.” Currently, he is extremely active
in the community, serving on the Halifax Horizons
Workforce Development Board of Directors, Halifax-
Warren Smart Start Partnership for Children
Board, Halifax County Economic Development
Commission Board (ex officio), Halifax County
Educational Facilities Capital Improvement Planning
Committee, Area Health Educational Center
Regional Advisory Board (AHEC), National Advisory
Council of the American Student Association of
Community Colleges, Roanoke Rapids Mill Community
Advisory Council, Roanoke Rapids Rotary Club, Roanoke
Rapids Chamber of Commerce, and Choanoke Area
Development Association Board of Directors.
“This is truly a celebration,” said N.C. Community
College System President, H. Martin Lancaster. “Halifax
Community College is a source of great pride to this
service area, but it is also a source of important learning
for the people of this area if they are to become a part
of the economy of the future in North Carolina.”
Many program participants also said that Griffin had
arrived in just the right place at the right time.

President H. Martin Lancaster
“It is really comforting to know that you’re in the right
place at the right time fulfilling the mission for Halifax
Community College,” said Griffin. “As I said at our
recent Founder’s Day program, I owe a great deal to
the presidents of Halifax Community College who…
nurtured the vision of the college we see today.” Griffin
also spotlighted HCC achievements of the past year
and partnerships that have developed since his arrival.
He added that he has found Roanoke Valley citizens to
be warm and genuine and that he appreciated all of
the support he has received. “I am living my dream,”
concluded Griffin.
A reception honoring Griffin was held that evening in
The Centre, followed by a concert by The Manhattans.

Dr. Stanley Edwards, HCC Board Chairman
Recipient of the 2008 Southern Regional Trustee
Leadership Award by the Association of Community
College Trustees
The 2007-2008 year has been a great one for
Halifax Community College. We have installed a
new president, Dr. Ervin V. Griffin, Sr., who joins HCC
as an integral part of the administration. From the
academic excellence of our programs and students
to the cultural opportunities on campus to our
commitment to continuing education, the college
has much for which to be proud.
Having served for several years on the board, I can honestly say that HCC is destined for continued success in
the future. We want to remain responsive to the needs of our students and the community. With the help of
business and industry partners and caring individuals, the college will continue to make positive contributions
to our citizens.
Our residents should feel confident about the quality of education that our students receive. With continued
commitment, HCC will remain a place that positively impacts lives everyday.

come a long ways in 40 years,” he said.
Past President, Dr. Phillip Taylor, talked with
anniversary guests.
The president of HCC from 1988-1998, Newbern

he said. Newbern also talked about the advances
in and accessibility to technology on campus. “It
amazes me,” he added.
“We owe all of you a debt of gratitude for the wonderful legacy of service to our region and state that
you have left for us to follow,” said Griffin. He added that HCC would continue to meet the task of
enriching the curriculum, workforce development,
occupational education, and lifelong learning.

Message from the Vice President of Instructional Services
Dr. Joy Cooley
The 2007-2008 academic year marked a milestone for HCC as we celebrated our 40th anniversary. The observance
provided the College with the opportunity to reflect on the growth and development of the institution and
on the people who have been a part of its rich history. On Sept. 7, the College held its first Founder’s Day
Celebration which has become an annual event. The celebration culminated a yearlong schedule of activities
that highlighted the college’s diverse programs.
Halifax Community College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). The College
began the reaffirmation process last year with the appointment of Cathy Farabow as the SACS coordinator and
Dr. Julie Dilday as the Quality Enhancement Plan coordinator. During the year, faculty participated in workshops
and applied the information to course and program revisions. HCC staff members are also engaged in the process
as they examine their departments to meet SACS standards. The reaffirmation process will continue through
2011.

The Year in Review:
Highlights from 2007 - 2008
The first day of class kicked off the first of a series of HCC
student forums in August. Students were encouraged to
share ideas for improving the campus and to ask questions
of administrators.
HCC was awarded a five-year $119,650 grant by the Kate B.
Reynolds Charitable Trust in Winston-Salem. Grant funding
created a pilot program called the HCC Healthy Smiles Dental
Care Program that provided free, basic dental care for a portion
of the area’s elementary school children.
The State Board of Community Colleges visited HCC.
The board conducted a retreat coupled with an onlocation meeting. This marked the first time the board
had visited the campus.
The Legislative and Community Affairs Committee
held its fall meeting. Guests included representatives
Angela Bryant, Lucy Allen, and Michael Wray, along
with Senator Edward Jones. HCC also hosted a spring
Legislators Breakfast event.
Weldon’s Acting Postmaster Becky Horton, left,
along with Charles Chesnutt’s fifth cousin, Deloris Best Pritchett
and HCC President, Dr. Ervin V. Griffin, Sr. unveiled the Chesnutt stamp
on campus.
First among several events held during Black History Month, Halifax Community College hosted a stamp dedication
commemorating pioneering writer Charles W. Chesnutt as part of Black History Month festivities. For only the second
time, HCC partnered with the U.S. Postal Service to bring a stamp dedication to campus. The Chesnutt stamp is
the 31st in the Black Heritage series from the U.S. Postal Service. His pioneering work addressed a broad range of
African-American experience during the post-Civil War period known as Reconstruction. He is recognized as a major
innovator and singular voice among turn-of-the-century literary realists who probed the color line in American life.
HCC organizations including the Student Government,
Student Support Services, Early Childhood Education, Phi
Beta Lambda and Phi Theta Kappa partnered in an effort to
sponsor a food drive for the local Union Mission. Ten boxes
of food were collected as well as monetary donations.
HCC and Chowan University entered into an historic
partnership. Beginning in January, Chowan offered its first
Adult Degree Completion Program at HCC.
2007 - 2008 Highlights
HCC’s Child Care Center earned a five star rating from the N.C.
Division of Child Development, part of the Department of Health
& Human Services. The center serves children ages 2-5. This is
the highest rated license in the state’s licensing system.
HCC received a Student Success Activity Grant from the
NCCCS with the purpose of reaching out to people in the
area’s population who have multiple barriers to education,
including citizens with limited English proficiency. The plan
offered an innovative recruitment and retention initiative.
With the grant, HCC was able to hire, for the first time, a
part-time Assessment-Retention Counselor. A GED Kickoff
celebration was held in March.
HCC hosted hundreds of high school students and guests at
the first “Men to Men Summit: Developing Men of Distinction”
at The Centre. Keynote speakers included Troy D. Vincent and
Dr. Walter Clark. The summit was made possible by a grant
from the North Carolina Community College System. With this
funding, HCC has started a Minority Male Mentoring Program
on campus. The initiative provides comprehensive activities,
including personal development, drug and substance abuse
education, and other innovative activities to improve the
academic success of students.
2007 - 2008 Highlights
HCC students Sherry Agee and Johnnie
Stevenson were honored by the North
Carolina Community College System in April as
outstanding students at the annual Academic
Excellence Luncheon. Pictured are Dr. Cooley,
Dr. Griffin, Agee, Stevenson, Dr. Edwards and

Presidential Partnership Awards 2007
Halifax Community College recognized three business
partners during commencement exercises, May 10.
This marked the second annual presentation of the
Presidential Partnership Award. HCC President, Dr.
Ervin V. Griffin, Sr. made the award presentations.
The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, Turning
Point Workforce Development Board and the U.S.
Postal Service received the award for commitment
and partnership in developing workforce education
programs and supporting economic development
in the Roanoke Valley.
Allen J. Smart, who currently serves as a senior
program officer in the Health Care Division of the
Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, was presented
the award. The trust was established in 1947, to
improve the quality of life and quality of health for
the financially needy of North Carolina. The Health
Care Division responds to health care and wellness
needs by investing in solutions that improve the
quality of health for North Carolina’s financially
needy residents. Last year, the Trust awarded HCC
grant funding that created a pilot program through
the Dental Hygiene department called the HCC
Healthy Smiles Dental Care Program. It provides
free, basic dental care for a portion of the area’s
elementary (K-5) school children. The Trust and
HCC are currently working with outside providers
to make seamless care more available.
Jean Lovejoy, manager for the Post Office Operations,
Area 1, Greensboro District, was presented the
second partnership award. In February 2007, HCC
partnered with the US Postal Service to dedicate a
new stamp just issued as part of the Black Heritage
Series. The dedication was held in honor of Black
History Month. It was the first in a month-long series
of programs that highlighted key developments,
contributions, and events within African-American
culture both past and present. On Feb. 5, 2008,
the second annual stamp dedication was held. This
year’s stamp featured the noted African-American
author Charles Chesnutt.
Pamela S. Whitaker, executive director of the
Turning Point Workforce Development Board was
presented the third award. In the past 10 years,
Whitaker has successfully administered $55 million,
with HCC’s JobLink receiving in excess of $11.5
million for workforce and economic development
training and development programs. Currently,
the 25-member board manages more than $6
million and is one of 24 boards in North Carolina
administering the nation’s principle workforce
development legislation, the Workforce Investment
Act of 1998.
Vice President of Administrative Services’
Summary
Halifax Community College (HCC) believes the economic future of the College will continue to be sound.
At the earliest prediction of a slowdown in the state’s economy, plans were made for possible budget
cuts. Employees have been asked to be conservative in their use of supplies, materials, travel funds, and
equipment. A concerted effort by faculty, staff, and administration to slow non-personnel expenditures
will help the College meet the State’s budgetary challenge.
HCC continues to work with the County Commissioners in both service areas of Halifax and Northampton
Counties to grow budget appropriations in direct proportion with the growth in fuel oil prices, utilities,
and labor costs. Again, employees have been asked to follow conservation measures in the use of
heating, cooling, water, and maintenance supplies in order that current appropriations carry us to year
end.
Through careful fiscal management, Halifax Community College should be able to navigate the current
economic slowdown and continue to meet the educational needs of our students and service area.

Message from the
HCC Foundation, Inc. Chairman
Charles McElheney
The Halifax Community College Foundation Board of Directors would like to extend our appreciation to all of the donors
for their continued support of the college. This past year was very successful. Due to donor and supporter generosity, 155
scholarships were awarded to 104 students last year. Also, seven new scholarships were established including:
New Life Scholarship
Boyce Alston Memorial Scholarship
Homewood Scholarship
WEZU Community Radio
Emery W. Doughtie Memorial Scholarship
Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society Scholarship
Bernice Hatchell Hobday Memorial Nursing Scholarship
The Foundation plays a vital role in providing assistance to our students. Without this help, many would be unable to
continue their studies at the college. It is absolutely necessary that we assist our students in this way, because it will impact
our community. Better education equals more economic opportunity for our graduates and the community. Please know
that we sincerely appreciate your support and that your gift makes a real difference in the lives of our students.
Message from the
Vice President for Institutional Advancement/Foundation
Thomas Schwartz
Although I have only had the opportunity to call HCC home for the past eight months, I have found that the Department of
Institutional Advancement is quite a busy place! Just as an example, in the 2007 – 2008 academic year, the Public Information
Office, under the direction of Melanie Temple, wrote 214 different feature stories, event or class announcements. Of these,
173 were sent to the local media and 41 were for online use only. HCC garnered more than 500 mentions in newspapers
alone from this publicity. In addition, the media (local newspapers, radio, or television) were present at more than 20 HCC
events last year. Local TV also conducted 11 interviews on special topics with representatives from HCC. Kim Edwards, our
graphic artist, completed a total of 692 print requests for the year. Almost half (317) were new design jobs. This means that
she averaged 14.4 print requests and 6.6 new design jobs per week. To give an idea of what that means, each new brochure
that is designed and printed involves almost nine hours of work. Each new flyer design involves almost four hours of work.
Multiply that by 14.4 print requests per week to get an idea of the hours the print shop puts in.
Our Development Office was also productively engaged. Between January 2, 2008, when I arrived, and June 30,
eight new grant proposals were submitted from the Department of Institutional Advancement requesting more than
$1,700,000 altogether. Of these, four were successful, two were unsuccessful, and two are still outstanding. In all, during
Fiscal Year 2008, HCC received $4,107,437.77 in grant dollars. Sherry Agee once again coordinated the assignment of
scholarships and their recipients during the year. In 2007 – 2008, 155 scholarships were granted to 104 different
students. Donor Management Software was identified and purchased for the HCC Foundation, the first such software
ever used by the College. This software should allow us to keep more efficient records of gifts and donors, and enable
us to more effectively report to our donors the difference their gifts are making. And the HCC Foundation’s endowment
continued to grow due to sound investment policies and continued fund raising. From July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2008,
seven new scholarships alone were established, providing more financial assistance to deserving and needy students.
As you can see, it has been a busy, yet productive, year. The 2008 – 2009 academic year promises to be even more so. We
in Institutional Advancement look toward the future with enthusiasm and high expectations!
