2008 North Carolina Community College System Conference
Welcome from R. Scott Ralls, Ph.D.
President, North Carolina Community College System
Welcome to the 2008 North Carolina Community College System Conference. Veterans of this
outstanding event will recognize a number of “firsts” this year. We are in Raleigh as one of the first
major events in the brand-new Raleigh Convention Center. We are strongly focused on the urgent
challenges of educating North Carolinians for the world economy, with the theme “Beyond the Horizon:
Preparing Students for a Global Advantage.” And for me, this is the first opportunity to attend this
conference as President of the North Carolina Community College System.
During my tenure as President of Craven Community College, I observed how much the faculty and
staff looked forward to these few days with colleagues from our sprawling, diverse community college
system. The sessions, workshops and – yes – the social events give us the chance to learn from
nationally-recognized experts and from each other how to serve our students and communities better.
This conference succeeds because the people who participate are also the people who plan and
present. At the System Office, we are pleased to support this conference, and we look forward to
participating as well.
Community college professionals are so committed to providing our students access to educational
opportunity that we sometimes need to be reminded of the importance of our own professional
development. This is one of the best venues we have to practice the lifelong learning skills essential
for us to participate fully in the fast-changing arena of global education.
I hope that you enjoy your time in Raleigh and return to your classrooms, labs and offices refreshed
and ready to put new ideas into action.

2008 North Carolina Community College System Conference
Keynote Speaker
R. Scott Ralls, Ph.D.
General Session A
Sunday, October 12, 4:00 p.m.
Scott Ralls assumed the presidency of the North Carolina Community College
System on May 1, 2008. With 58 colleges serving over 800,000 students each
year, the North Carolina Community College System is the third largest in the
United States.
President Ralls is the second system president to have served as a local North
Carolina community college president -- the first in thirty years. Between 2002
and 2008, President Ralls served as the President of Craven Community College
with campuses located in New Bern and Havelock, North Carolina. During his
tenure, the college achieved record enrollment growth and gained recognition
for innovations in technology-based workforce development. During these years, Craven Community
College opened the Institute for Aeronautical Technology, developed the Bosch and Siemens Advanced
Manufacturing Center, initiated the first college-based Red Hat Linux Academy in the nation, and led the
statewide redesign of community college information technology curricula to correspond with national
industry skill standards. Craven Community College also gained recognition for fostering unique educational
partnerships, including its University Connections program with East Carolina University and NC State
University College of Engineering, and Craven Early College, a model technology-based early college initiative
with Craven County Public Schools fostering strategic career pathways. Craven Community College is also
known for its broad-based community engagement, and in 2007 President Ralls received the Freedom Fund
Award from the Craven County NAACP for his “efforts to actively identify and incorporate the true needs of
the community into the mission of Craven Community College.”
President Ralls has been actively involved in North Carolina’s early college and high school transformation
initiatives, having been appointed to the North Carolina New Schools Board by Governor Michael Easley.
He has also worked with the British government in their review of community college-equivalent Further
Education (FE) colleges in England. In 2007, he was named the 10th honorary fellow of Warwickshire
College in the United Kingdom.
President Ralls has previously held workforce development leadership positions at the state and
national levels, including as Vice President of Economic and Workforce Development for the North
Carolina Community College System where he helped foster collaborative initiatives with North Carolina’s
biotechnology and information technology industries. He has also previously served as the Director of the
North Carolina Department of Commerce’s Division of Employment and Training where he worked closely
with the state’s Workforce Development Boards and provided state oversight of job training programs
for disadvantaged individuals and those affected by plant closings. At the national level, he served as
the Manager of Workforce Programs for the National Institute of Standards and Technology at the U.S.
Department of Commerce, where he fostered workforce development initiatives through the national network
of manufacturing extension centers, and as a policy specialist with the U.S. Department of Labor where he
authored the national report, Integrating Technology with Workers in the New American Workplace, and was
a recipient of the Secretary’s Exceptional Achievement Award.
President Ralls holds a bachelor of science degree with highest distinction from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, and masters and Ph.D. degrees in industrial and organizational psychology from the
University of Maryland where his research focused on technology implementation, workforce training and
issues affecting older workers.
He is married to Lisa Rowe Ralls, the former Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Planning for the
Council for Entrepreneurial Development in Research Triangle Park and they have two sons Benjamin (8)
and Lucas (6).

2008 North Carolina Community College System Conference
Keynote Speaker
Jeanne Robertson, CSP, CPAE
General Session C
Tuesday, October 14, 12:15 p.m.
Professional speaking was not predicted when Jeanne Robertson was in the
seventh grade in Graham, North Carolina, when and where she would have
been voted most likely to make the basketball team and least likely to be a
contestant in the Miss America Pageant. She did make the team, and as Miss
North Carolina 1963 she also competed in the Miss America Pageant, where
she was named Miss Congeniality.
It was her participation in, and perhaps even her losing of, the Miss America
title that turned Ms. Robertson’s life into a succession of events that led to her
professional speaking career. She received her degree from Auburn University
and taught physical education in high school and college for nine years. But throughout those years, the
requests to speak continued to pour in. In 1976 she stopped teaching and entered professional speaking
full time.
In addition to a full speaking schedule year after year, Ms. Robertson has been awarded every top
honor and designation in her profession including: the Certified Speaking Professional designation in
1980, induction in the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame, the National Speakers Association’s Cavett Award,

Re-thinking and Re-designing the International Experience for the
Community College Student, Including the Adult Learner
Presenter: G. Bernard “Bernie” Yevin
Presider: Leonard Kiser
With the NCCCS mandate of “workforce development” and the “flattening” of the world, it is critical that
community college students have firsthand international experiences to become aware of the world in which
they live, work, and compete. Having a global orientation and international experience is a necessity, but
for many community college students, including enrolled adult learners, the traditional “semester” or “year
abroad” is not a reality. This session will present a tested model for successfully designing and implementing
a short-term, for-credit, cost-effective, quality international experience adaptable to any curriculum in any
educational delivery format at any community college. The model can be easily replicated and has worked
successfully with over 135 students, many of whom were adult learners.
