Central Piedmont Community College, United States

United States

Central Piedmont Community College’s history centers not so much on bricks and mortar, but rather on the many people who have played a role in developing the College. So many unsung heroes--from secretaries to counselors to faculty to administrators--have dedicated themselves to building the great College that CPCC is today. Standouts on the CPCC roster include a Pulitzer Prize winner, a Metropolitan Opera star, an Olympic gold medalist, a Congressional Medal of Honor winner, a television actress and a pro football player. Countless other chefs, healthcare providers, technicians, real estate brokers, paralegals, firefighters, law enforcement officers, and trades people serve our community and share CPCC’s proud tradition. CPCC has been providing educational opportunities since1963, the year that the North Carolina General Assembly passed the community college bill. Opening as a fully integrated institution under founding president Dr. Richard H. Hagemeyer, the College combined the programs of Central Industrial Education Center on Elizabeth Avenue and Mecklenburg College on Beatties Ford Road. Since its beginning, the College has been a national pacesetter in education. Innovative in its teaching methods, CPCC garnered national recognition for its individualized and computer-assisted instruction. The College was invited to join the prestigious League for Innovation in the Community College and has been a member since 1970
