A MESSAGE
TO THE
community
president
FROM THE
During the academic year 2012-2013
at Vance-Granville Community College, I
had the pleasure of celebrating excellence
and success in many different ways.
With the college’s reaffirmation of
accreditation, our outstanding Dinner
Theater production of “Our Town,”
our record-breaking Golf Tournament,
our introduction of new programs, and
the countless accomplishments of our
students, faculty and staff, it was a great
year to be a Vanguard!
Most importantly, we celebrated
success as we proudly sent our graduates
into new careers and new opportunities
for learning, in which they will continue to
represent VGCC as alumni. We are proud
to present these highlights, among many
others, in this Report to the Community.
The year 2012-2013 was also about
looking forward to how we can excel and
succeed in the future. During this year,
after a deliberative process involving our
faculty, staff and trustees, we approved
the new VGCC strategic plan, called
the “Vanguard Vision.” The plan,
which includes new Mission and Vision
Statements, is a road map that will guide
everything we do here at VGCC from 2014
through 2019, which is also when we will
celebrate our college’s 50th anniversary.
We have the responsibility to carry
forward this institution’s nearly halfcentury tradition of educating, inspiring
and supporting a diverse community
of learners to achieve professional and
personal success. At the same time, we
must innovate, serve and lead our region
in an era of tremendous change.
With the support of our communities,
Vance-Granville Community College is
poised for greatness in 2013-2014 and
beyond!
Dr. Stelfanie Williams
VGCC President

an evening, a year ...
I​ t was a year to remember in 20122013 as Vance-Granville Community
College staged its first Dinner Theater,
received notice of reaffirmation
of accreditation, graduated its first
Early College High School students,
formed a unique partnership with
North Carolina A&T, launched new
programs and celebrated student
and staff successes, among a variety
of activities. We hope you enjoy our
President's Report.
SACS Reaffirms
VGCC’s Accreditation
In June, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)
Commission on Colleges voted to reaffirm VGCC’s accreditation
with no conditions. Every ten years, colleges and universities that,
like VGCC, have already been accredited must seek reaffirmation to
maintain their status. As part of the reaffirmation process, VGCC
hosted an on-site committee in September 2012 and submitted
extensive reports and a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) required
by the accrediting agency. A QEP is a long-term course of action
that addresses a topic or issue related to improving student learning
and/or students’ learning environment. VGCC’s plan, entitled
“Advising in 3D: Dream, Design, Discover,” is focused on academic
advising and career planning.​

A Message From Our Board Chair
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would
like to commend and congratulate the outstanding
administration, faculty and staff of Vance-Granville
Community College for their accomplishments this
year — and every year! At the same time, I would like to
recognize our talented students, whose achievements
continue to inspire me and my fellow Trustees. During
2012-2013, we have seen our college rise to meet new
challenges and, with our new “Vanguard Vision” in
place, the stage is set for even more progress. None
of this is possible without the steadfast support of
our communities. We are so appreciative of the many
citizens of Vance, Granville, Franklin and Warren
counties who partner with our college and contribute
to our success. VGCC is here to serve the people
and the businesses of our four counties and is an
invaluable resource for our region’s future economic
development. Together, we will continue to advance
our four-county area by ensuring the success of
Vance-Granville Community College.

Early College High Schools Celebrate Graduations
This year, VGCC celebrated the graduations of the first students from all four of the early college high schools operated
by the college in partnership with four local school systems. A total of 46 students graduated with degrees or diplomas
from VGCC while also graduating from high school in 2013. These included not only students who completed the
program in the typical five-year sequence at Vance County Early College High School and Warren Early College High
School (both of which opened in 2008), but also a group of students who graduated in four years or less at the two
other schools, Granville Early College High School and Franklin County Early College High School, which opened
in August 2009 and January 2010, respectively. Pictured, Cheyenna Francis, right, is greeted by President Dr. Stelfanie
Williams as she walks across the stage during WECHS commencement exercises at Warren County High School, where

VGCC, A&T Form ADN Partnership
VGCC and North Carolina A&T State University formed a partnership to allow graduates of the college’s Associate Degree
Nursing program to easily transition to A&T’s four-year Nursing degree program. From left, Dr. Stelfanie Williams and university Chancellor Harold L. Martin Sr. formally signed their new agreement in a ceremony on February 8, 2013, in the Civic Center.
Through this new “RN to BSN” partnership program, a Registered Nurse will be able to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in
Nursing within as little as one year of earning his or her associate degree at VGCC. Once students transfer, they will be able to
complete a majority of their coursework online. This was A&T’s first RN to BSN agreement with a community college.
NURSING INSTRUCTORS
EARN NEW CERTIFICATIONS
Three instructors from the VGCC
Nursing program earned the designation
Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) in 2013
after meeting strict eligibility criteria
and successfully completing a rigorous
certification examination developed
and administered by the National
League for Nursing. The newly certified
educators are, from left, instructor Anna

WENDY FRANDSEN
FACULTY MEMBER OF YEAR
Wendy Frandsen, an English instructor, was chosen as the
Faculty Member of the Year for 2012-2013. Frandsen has

She earned a B.A. in College Scholars with an emphasis in
Poetry and an M.A. in English with an emphasis in Creative
Writing from the University of Tennessee prior to joining the
faculty in 1987. In addition to teaching English and humanities
courses, she initiated and served as the first head of the

in which she coordinated developmental English, reading
and mathematics and established the Academic Skills Center.
Frandsen then served as Program Head for English from
2006-2012, when she chose to return to full-time teaching.
She co-created the “Southern Culture” course, one of the
N.C. community college system’s most rigorous and popular
humanities offerings, and co-wrote the award-winning textbook
based on that course. Frandsen also wrote another textbook
currently used at VGCC, “Speaking Southern, Writing English:
A Grammar Handbook.” Frandsen received the VGCC College

Earning Top Scholarships
In College Transfer
Three VGCC students — Allison Forsythe of Oxford, Haleigh Meffert of Louisburg and Tiffany Gill of Raleigh — were among only 30
North Carolina community college students transferring to a four-year institution who were selected to receive Golden LEAF Foundation
Scholarships in 2013. VGCC was one of only three colleges in the state to have three transfer student recipients each, the most of any
community college. Forsythe transferred to East Carolina University; Gill to William Peace University; and Meffert to N.C. State University.
Learning Leadership Through
Student Development Program
College Transfer student Rachel E. Pottern of Wake Forest was among just 28 students
from across the state who participated in the 2012-2013 N.C. Community College Student
Leadership Development Program. A member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, she
graduated from VGCC in May 2013 with an Associate in Arts degree.
Becoming A ‘One-Star Chapter’
VGCC’s “Alpha Sigma Chi” chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society for students
of two-year colleges, received a special commendation from the national organization in 2013. The
chapter fulfilled the requirements to be named a “One Star Chapter,” as part of the “Five Star Chapter
Development Plan.” Also, in 2013, VGCC honored 77 students as the newest inductees into the PTK,
joining more than 1,000 students selected since 1991.

One of VGCC’s many industry partners is Semprius, an innovator in high concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) solar modules,
which are manufactured at the company’s facility in Henderson, not far from VGCC’s Main Campus. In 2013, Semprius
completed the installation of a 17-kilowatt commercial HCPV system on campus, near Building 10. The system not only offsets
a portion of the college’s energy requirements, but also strengthens the relationship between VGCC and Semprius by providing
a real-world opportunity for students to learn about Semprius’ technology in a field setting.
VGCC Offers New Career Paths
VGCC launched two new curriculum programs and expanded a third. The Pharmacy Technology
program expanded by adding a new option for students to earn an Associate in Applied Science degree
in the field, starting with the Fall 2013 semester. The degree qualifies graduates for employment as
“validating technicians,” as defined by the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy. Vance-Granville also added
the Paralegal Technology curriculum program to prepare individuals to work under the supervision of
attorneys by performing routine legal tasks and assisting with legal work. Offered in collaboration with
Wake Technical Community College, the Simulation and Game Development curriculum provides a
broad background in creative arts, visual arts, audio-video technology, creative writing, modeling, design,
programming and management.

O
n May 16, 1963, the N.C. General Assembly created the
Department of Community Colleges by combining 20 industrial
education centers, six public junior colleges and five extension
units. In 2013, the North Carolina Community College System
celebrated 50 years of creating student success, with each
college holding special events.
On March 6, VGCC joined its sister colleges across the state in celebrating “Dr. W. Dallas Herring Day” to honor the legacy of the longtime
chair of the State Board of Education, who was instrumental in the
creation of the community college system. During a brief ceremony
and reception on the college’s Main Campus, President Dr. Stelfanie
Williams told an assembly of trustees, faculty and staff that Herring
established the system’s “open door” philosophy. She also unveiled a
portrait of Herring, a copy of which was given to each of the state’s 58
community colleges. Commissioned as part of the 50th anniversary
celebration, the portraits were sponsored by Duplin Winery and by the
N.C. Community Colleges Foundation.

VGCC’s 29th annual Endowment Fund Benefit Golf Tournament
generated approximately $35,420 to support students and the mission
of the college — setting a new record as the highest-grossing golf
tournament in VGCC history, while also taking the total raised by
all the tournaments since 1985 over the $500,000 mark. A total of 132
players formed 33 teams to play in either the morning or the afternoon
round on May 7, 2013, at Henderson Country Club.
The foursome of, from left, Phillip Shope, Rusty Pace, Bobbie Joe May
and Ronnie Goswick won the morning round of the tournament.
A team from Certainteed won the afternoon round of the tournament. Shown,
from left, are Mark Heilman, Jeff Heffner, Tim Denny and Andrew McLachlan.

VGCC faculty and staff contributed $24,205 to the Endowment Fund in the fall employee
fundraising drive in 2012. Above, from left: drive co-chairs Steve McGrady and Blondelle
Edgerton, Board of Trustees Chair Deborah F. Brown and drive co-chair Curtis Tyndall.
Awarding more endowed scholarships than any program of its kind in
North Carolina, VGCC’s Endowment and Scholarship Fund has received
more than $6 million in gifts to date, including funds in trusts naming the
college as beneficiary. Over 7,000 scholarships have been awarded to VGCC
students through the fund since 1982. As of June 30, 2013, the Endowment
Fund provided 306 endowed scholarships for full-time students, as listed in
three categories (Presidential Scholar Award, Presidential Merit Award and
Academic Achievement Scholarship) on the following pages. Another 18
annual [non-endowed] scholarships were presented.
VGCC scholarships have been endowed by numerous individuals, industries,
businesses, civic groups, churches and the college’s faculty and staff. This
year, the faculty and staff continued their annual tradition of supporting
the Endowment Fund by contributing more than $24,000. Also during
the 2012-13 year, several new scholarships were endowed, including the
W. Beverly Tucker/Guild Gift Gallery Presidential Scholar Award, two
Farrington Foundation Presidential Merit Awards, the Rain Park Presidential
Merit Award, the Rain Park Academic Achievement scholarship and the
Maria Parham Medical Center Volunteer Services Academic Achievement
scholarship.
