Congressman Bob Etheridge

It was the best of times . . . 2005-06 was truly a remarkable year for Wake Tech. The many accomplishments of our students, faculty, and staff were mirrored by the great strides we made together as a college. Wake Tech has always been a leader in providing accessible and affordable education, but in 2005-06 we sharpened our focus on leadership qualities, both within our walls and outside in the community.

Our ITS Division led us to more technologically advanced places and helped create more effective tools for communication among students, faculty, and staff. Wake Tech teachers received national recognition for exemplary teaching practices, and Wake Tech was identified as a National Center of Excellence in high-performance computing technology. We launched multi-disciplinary programs for leadership training and professional development to meet the varied needs of faculty and staff, and offered all employees a new resource program to help them better manage their personal and professional lives. We completed long-term building renovations, providing new offices, classrooms, and campus gathering spaces. We opened a teachers’ resource center and enhanced media resources in our library. We learned more about energy conservation and made a commitment to conserving more campus wide. At our Health Sciences Campus, we opened a new Student Services Center and began to offer individualized tutoring as well. We were reviewed by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, our accrediting body, and found up to par — our accreditation was renewed for the next 10 years. In the larger community, Wake Tech exemplified the leadership qualities for which it has become known. We co-sponsored, with NC State University, a forum on alternative fuels. We were awarded a National Science Foundation grant for our new associate’s degree program in Simulation and Game Development – making Wake Tech one of the few fully-accredited institutions in the country to offer such a program. For the first time we offered a study abroad program, sending students and faculty to South America to learn from and about the people of Ecuador. During International Education Week, we reveled in multi-cultural events and activities celebrating the 100+ different nationalities at Wake Tech.

We partnered with the county to train college personnel in disaster assistance and emergency preparedness. In the wake of catastrophic storms, we offered online college courses free of charge to our neighbors on the Gulf Coast. (In addition, many Wake Tech employees participated directly in humanitarian efforts in that region.) We unveiled our first Applied Technologies summer camp, welcoming middle school students onto our Main Campus. For high schoolers, we opened the Early College of Health and Sciences in conjunction with Wake County Public Schools and Wake Med Health & Hospitals. This initiative, part of the Governor’s Learn and Earn Program, allows students to earn a two-year college degree while completing high school.

Wake Tech broke ground in literal ways as well, opening our Western Wake Campus in Cary (at Millpond Village) and putting finishing touches on yet another new campus in northern Wake County, which will open for students in August 2007.

What’s ahead for Wake Tech? Certainly not resting on laurels! The needs of our community for workforce training and education demand that innovative ideas and strategies keep coming. We’ll continue to build and fortify our resources to make sure we’re ready for the challenges ahead.

from the President

ou!On behalf of the Wake Tech Foundation Board of

Directors, I would like to recognize and thank all those who contributed during the 2005-2006 year and who continue to help Wake Tech fulfill its mission of workforce and economic development.

Foundation donors represent a cross section of the community that includes corporate partners, civic groups, trustees, directors, friends, faculty, and staff. This network of support enables Wake Tech to address critical institutional and instructional needs in ways not possible through traditional public resources.

The 2005-2006 fiscal year brought significant growth for the Foundation. Under the leadership of Executive Director Mort Congleton, the Foundation gained more than fifty new corporate partners; set a new employee-giving campaign record of $50,000; and established a two-year program with long-time community partner The News & Observer to provide scholarships for GED and Adult High School students transitioning to college-level courses.

Always looking for innovative ways to address college needs, the Foundation added a mini-grants program to provide faculty and staff with seed money for new initiatives to benefit students and employees. One such project used mini-grant funds to develop a horticulture class for Compensatory Education students that was introduced as a course offering this spring!

Although the Foundation continues to grow, its focus on students, faculty, and staff remains steadfast. In the last year, the Foundation invested $265,247 in essential instructional equipment and program support and $53,094 in professional development and recognition for faculty and staff. The Foundation also met students’ increased demand for emergency financial aid by allocating $50,088 in assistance to 93 students and $80,918 in scholarships to 74 students.

The Foundation is thrilled to announce the addition of a third staff position: Heather L. Buck became Administrative Assistant/Accounting Technician in July 2006 and has already proven to be an asset, streamlining accounting processes and creating the Foundation’s first newsletter.

It is an exciting time to be a part of the Wake Tech Foundation! We are proud to have you as partners in our efforts to serve students, faculty, and staff. The past year’s successes are the collective accomplishment of all our supporters.

Thank you for your continued generosity!

W.H. Coggins Chairman, Board of Directors
