As part of CPCC’s commitment to being a Learning College and a leader in workforce development, I am pleased to announce three leadership programs for full-time employees of the College. These programs are an evolution and expansion of the former CP Leads I & II programs. They offer more comprehensive development opportunities and are based on the leadership competencies that have been identified to help CPCC achieve its mission and vision.
The new Leadership Institute will focus on competencies that have been identified for first-level managers and supervisors. Topics include Project Management, Coaching, Teambuilding, Motivating & Recognizing Others, Problem Solving, and Decision Making. Current directors, first-level supervisors, managers, as well as individuals who aspire to serve in these capacities within the next two to three years are eligible.
The new President’s Advanced Leadership Academy will address the increasingly complex competencies required of leaders who have a broad scope of responsibilities for both people and projects. Topics for exploration will include Managing Vision & Purpose, Dealing with Ambiguity, Strategic Agility, Ethics & Values, and Building Effective Teams. Employees who are currently serving in an associate dean or executive director position or higher are eligible.
Both the Leadership Institute and the President’s Advanced Leadership Academy will begin in fall 2008. Enrollment is limited and is by invitation only. Interested individuals are encouraged to express their interest to their supervisors by March 30, 2008.
Professional Development will offer these new programs in addition to the self-leadership program entitled Dimensions of Leadership: Leading from Where You Are. This program addresses creating a personal vision of leadership, leadership styles, and learning from your mistakes, and is designed for those who may be contemplating a first-time leadership role. Dimensions of Leadership will begin this spring and applications are currently available from Diann Back (4392).

N.C. budgetary constraints have placed additional pressure on all community colleges to expedite the year-end closing process. Therefore, funds to cover part time salary, supplies, travel, postage and other miscellaneous expenses anticipated before June must be encumbered in advance. State account numbers begin with 11- or 17- and County account numbers begin with 21-.
Please see the complete details of Procedures for Year-End Closing for June 30, 2008: State and County Funds Only.
In order to provide the latest technology to our learning environment, the College will migrate to Office 2007 this term. This migration is essential to many course offerings throughout the College and to ensure compatibility with outside constituents.
As an initial phase of this project, both Office 2003 and 2007 will be installed in all instructional areas including labs, Student Technology Centers, and Smart Classrooms. As a proactive step, the College is installing Microsoft's backward compatibility update to all workstations. This update allows employees to open files saved in the new Office format.
To continue the migration, Professional Development in partnership with ITS will provide training to the College community over the next few months. The training opportunities will act as an overview, providing a bridge between the most frequently performed tasks in applications including Outlook and Word. Additional detailed training will be offered as the College moves forward with this conversion.
Training sessions will be focused by campus, building, and area to ensure each department or workgroup is transitioned to the new software will minimal impact to its operations. Training will also include an open lab session to provide one-on-one facilitation as needed.
After completing the two-hour training session, employees will have the new Office 2007 installed on their workstations. This training course will be listed in LearnerWeb and provide employees with professional development credit.
The new software will require a hardware upgrade to operate effectively in the various areas. ITS will coordinate the College’s annual desktop equipment deployments along with the training sessions.
For additional information regarding this effort, please review the Office 2007 Project Page or contact the ITS Help Desk at 704.330.5000 or helpdesk@cpcc.edu .
Thank you and we look forward to working with you,

§ To Bob Boll, Hospitality Education, from Nancy Cole, manager of Special Events, Hospice & Palliative Care Charlotte Region, RE: A “Super Bowl” report of Soup on Sunday [January 27 on Central Campus]:
“There were no false starts after a two-minute warning was given to players (soup lovers) who huddled in the pottery tent, anxiously awaiting the kick-off of their anticipated game day! The turnout was fantastic. Rookies and a few seasoned players tackled the crowd as they scrambled to each soup station. Cheat sheets were given to players interested in checking the field position of their favorite restaurants. No penalties were given when tasting a favorite soup more than once. Officials kept the crowd running back for more with no pass interferences; referees intercepted the man in motion as he made a rush to the desserts! Players who went home hungry were charged with a personal foul!
“In other words, 34 restaurants and three culinary schools served 37 varieties of soup to 635 soup lovers who had an opportunity to choose from more than 300 pottery bowls, raising more than $37,000 for Hospice & Palliative Care Charlotte Region making this a ‘Soup-er Bowl’ Sunday!
“Thank you! You helped make this event the success it is today!”
