Letter to Faculty & Staff from Richard Zollinger

ASPIRE!

With the focus on community colleges nationwide, we at Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC), as well as with partnering colleges across the state and country, have become more data driven, completion-and outcome-orientated, as well as focused on graduation rates. This does not change our main purpose to be directed towards the success of all of our students.

ASPIRE: A Structured Plan for Inspire, Refocused Education, with its well-defined areas of transitioning to College, enhancing student success, and building pathways to careers and assisting our students in being college ready, provides a framework for the many initiatives that are taking place in the Learning Unit and throughout the College. Achieving the Dream, Completion by Design, Math Redesign, among others, are designed with student success in mind. More than ever I see my role as one of providing support so that you, the faculty and staff, can do what you do best: teach and guide our students on the path to their goals.
