Reports and Briefs
The Belk Center is dedicated to meeting the research needs of North Carolina community colleges by developing reports and recommendations that help executive leaders make timely, evidence-based decisions. We pursue high-impact research that examines what is working, what is not working, and what is yet to be learned—and we work to translate our findings into useful tools and resources for community college leaders in North Carolina and across the nation.
Our current research areas are purposefully designed to align with and reinforce leadership programs that catalyze community college change.
