Staff Reports
Central Piedmont Community College student Jane Fountain is among the first recipients of the N.C. Campus Compact's "Community Impact Student Award."
Fountain, who is working on an associate of arts degree at CPCC, was presented with the award Nov. 11 at N.C. State University. The Community Impact Student Award is giving to students who "have made significant, innovative contributions to campus-based efforts to address community needs," according to a news release. Twenty-one students, one from each participating school, were recognized.
Fountain was the only community college student recognized, said CPCC spokeswoman Jerri Haigler.
Fountain is president of Phi Lambda, CPCC's International Honor Society and edits the school's newspaper and literary magazine. She's also an English, communications and reading tutor and organized "Walk a Mile in My Shoes," a disability awareness event.
N.C. Campus Compact is a statewide coalition of college and university presidents and chancellors who aim to support and encourage campus engagement in the community.
