Mayland Community College is now tobacco free

Mayland Community College has adopted a 100 percent tobacco-free policy on its three campuses, which took effect Aug. 1, 2010. The policy bans tobacco use in Mayland's buildings and on its grounds. The policy was approved by the College's Board of Trustees January 11, 2010.

Tobacco Free FlagA recent survey conducted on campus revealed that students and faculty/staff were concerned about tobacco use on campus. The two most frequently cited concerns regarding tobacco usage were exposure to secondhand smoke and litter caused by cigarette debris across the campus.

The College has a plan to help students and faculty/staff with the cessation of tobacco usage, including partnering with Quitline NC and participating in the Great American Smokeout.  Notices about the tobacco-free policy are in college publications and are posted prominently around MCC campus buildings.

The goal is to establish an environment where our students, faculty, staff and visitors can learn, work and grow in a place where they can be healthy and happy.

Community College Academic Excellence Award Presented to Gail Parker

Gail ParkerMayland Community College student Gail Parker was presented with the North Carolina Community College System Academic Excellence Award in April in celebration of Academic Excellence Week April 12-16.

Parker was chosen for this award based on her Grade Point Average and her volunteer work at the college. She serves on the Student Government Association, is a Student Ambassador, and is a student director on the Mayland Foundation board. Parker will graduate in May with her associate's degree in Business Administration.

"Enrolling for Spring Semester of 2007 at Mayland Community College (MCC) was the first step toward realizing my dream of a new career in Business Administration," said Parker. "This journey has not been easy; but with determination and hard work, tests were passed, papers were written, and projects were completed. I did not face these challenges alone; my fellow students, my instructors, and the staff of Student Services here at MCC have supported and encouraged me every step of the way."

Governor Bev Perdue issued a proclamation celebrating educational excellence at North Carolina's community colleges. The proclamation was issued in advance of the North Carolina Community Colleges' Excellence Event, "The Great Within the 58," held on April 14. This event celebrated academic, faculty, staff, president and partner successes from across North Carolina. It honored North Carolina community college students' academic success, faculty, staff, and president-of-the-year award winners as well as outstanding corporate partners.

"North Carolina's community colleges are experiencing growth like never before," said Dr. Scott Ralls, President of the NC Community College System. "But even though our faculty and staff continue to do more with fewer resources, time and time again they exemplify excellence through their instruction, service and partnerships. This also is reflected in the academic success of our students."
