nc state university's mckimmon center for extension and continuing education 90th anniversary -...
DESCRIPTION
2014 marks the 90th anniversary of the McKimmon Center for Extension and Continuing Education. In June 1924, State College (now NC State University) established General Extension to offer correspondence courses and develop closer ties to industry and business. By the 1930s, its extension, correspondence, reading, and short courses served a student body representing every county in the state of NC, a majority of U.S. states, and several foreign countries. In 1965, College Extension was re-named the Division of Continuing Education. In 1971, the State legislature appropriated $4.25 million, to join the $100,000 in “butter and egg money” raised by home demonstration women, for construction of the McKimmon Center--named for Dr. Jane S. McKimmon, a proponent of continuing education and state director of the women's division of the Farmers Institutes from 1908-1911. This PowerPoint illustrates MCE&CE's early years.TRANSCRIPT
