The Trailblazer Profiles are a part of the Belk Center’s North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) History Project and will highlight and celebrate the work of Black, Latin*, Asian and Indigenous leaders in the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS), focusing on current and former community college presidents and system leaders.
We hope that through this project, we can re-center the conversations around who we recognize as important in the history of community college leadership in North Carolina, and inspire support for diversifying the presidential leadership pipeline.
