North Carolina Community College Innovations
The first part of the SuccessNC planning process was a 58-college listening tour that began on February 23, 2010 and ended on October 13, 2010. Colleges were asked to present best practices or innovations related to the SuccessNC guiding goals of student success, access and program quality. More than 200 college-selected best practices were presented during the sessions. The SuccessNC innovations are organized below by college with each offering a synopsis of the initiative as well as a contact person at each college. We will continue to add new innovations well into the future. NC Community Colleges are creating success.
