Board Lecture 11.2023

The Belk Center for Community College Leadership and Research is privileged to have the knowledge and leadership of both our North Carolina-based Leadership Advisory Council and our National Stakeholder Council to support our mission of preparing the next generation of community college leaders and addressing the most pressing issues facing North Carolina community colleges. As experts in their fields, our council members are current and former community college presidents, leaders from institutions whose work supports community colleges, and representatives from the North Carolina Community College System.
