2012 - 2013 Annual Report
Another year has passed….and as they say, “time flies!” It is hard to fathom
just how much progress we have made during that time at Paul D. Camp
Community College. However, when we take the time to slow down and
reflect (to “ponder” as I like to say), we realize that we have much for which
to be thankful. This annual report is aimed at highlighting some of our
accomplishments and successes and the many people responsible for them.
Dr. Paul Wm. Conco
President
You will read about a generous donation from the Birdsong Corporation,
which has allowed us to begin plans for a new Licensed Practical Nursing
program at the Hobbs Suffolk Campus. Smithfield Foods and Smithfield
Packing committed to a major gift that will support a number of new
initiatives at the college. Additional funds from The Suffolk Foundation,
Franklin Southampton Charities and the Virginia Community College System
will assist with the support and expansion of programs.
In January, we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the PDCCC Regional Workforce Development
Center. We are very fortunate to have this gem right here in Franklin, where thousands of people have
utilized a variety of training and educational opportunities in order to seek new careers or upgrade
skills for existing jobs. The PDCCC Regional Workforce Development Center has served more than
300,000 people since its opening in 2002.
Speaking of workforce, there are a number of career and technical program updates that are included
in this report. Unfortunately, we don’t have room to mention all of the new initiatives, but we do highlight the latest news about our Warehouse and Distribution program, our new logging initiative and
our work with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. We celebrated the opening of our Career Development Centers (CDC) and “Students Transitioning
through Education Programs Successfully” (STEPS) program this year, as well. The CDC provides
workshops and one-on-one assistance with job search, internships, and interview preparation. The STEPS program is a college success coach initiative created to increase the number of students
graduating, transferring or earning a career readiness certificate.
Another important step forward this year was the signing of an agreement with each of our local school
systems to allow high school students to complete an associate’s degree or one-year general studies
certificate while earning a high school diploma. This is an extremely important endeavor and a win-win
situation for all. There also are a number of accolades to be bestowed upon our students, faculty and staff, as well as community members. Please read about their significant accomplishments that make us all proud.
In addition to the LPN program that is under development, Paul D. Camp Community College
has launched a Pharmacy Technician program (which graduated its first class in May 2013) and a
Medication Aide program, for which the demand is expected to grow. Yes, there is so much to be proud
of at Paul D. Camp Community College. But, we can’t do it alone. Join me in reflecting over the year, and thank you for your support in providing a quality education to our students.
Sincerely,
Paul Wm. Conco, Ph.D.
President

Bain Earns Chancellor’s
Award for Leadership
Laura Davis, of Carrsville, earned the 1st PDCCC 40/7 Society Scholarship,
which honors the College’s 40th anniversary and the inauguration of its 7th
president. Non-traditional students aspiring to change their lives through
education at the College can apply. In partnership with the workforce center and
Opportunity Inc., this grant will allow Laura and others a quality education.
Laura also received a Career Preparation Grant toward her Pharmacy Technician Career Studies
Certificate (May 2013). Her goal is to complete the certification exams and work at a well-respected
pharmacy. The support she got from her son, mother and friends were monumental to Laura while
she was continuing her education. She is a seven-year member of Full Gospel Kingdom Church in
Franklin, and plans to give back to the community in some way.
Philanthropy In Action
J. Philip Bain Jr., of Ivor, received
the 2013 Chancellor’s Award for
Leadership in Philanthropy. Bain
notes that it is rewarding to see the
results of his contributions, “in terms of how
it adds to the quality of life for students, how
it helps them plan for a brighter future, how it
improves the human spirit and how the effects
are visible right here in my own little corner of
the world.”
Bain served nine years on the Foundation
Board, and is also PDCCC’s 2013
Philanthropist of the Year. The Commonwealth
Legacy Scholarship at each of the 23 Virginia
Community Colleges is named annually in
honor of the recipient of the Chancellor’s Award
for Leadership in Philanthropy.

Birdsong Peanuts Makes $150,000
Commitment for LPN Program
Smithfield Foods President and COO Larry Pope
touted the importance of Paul D. Camp Community College to the “educational and economic
vitality of the region” when he announced Smithfield’s $330,000 gift at the 10th anniversary of the
PDCCC Regional Workforce Development Center. He served as the College’s Major Gift Campaign Honorary Chair. Tim Schellpeper, President
of Smithfield Packing, Inc., is a PDCCC Foundation Board member.
Paul D. Camp Community College can fill a gap
in educational and employment opportunities in
the region thanks to Birdsong Peanuts. Through
the Suffolk Foundation, Birdsong Peanuts made
a $150,000 commitment to the College to build
training space for a Licensed Practical Nursing
Program (LPN). The Nursing Skills Lab will be
remodeled and renovated. The LPN Program
will be based at the Suffolk Hobbs Campus.
This funding targets an ongoing collaboration
between the College and Smithfield Packing for
vital regional workforce training and education
programs, such as:
• Skilled technicians program/Robotics
• Specialized “Technology Center”
• Scholarships
• Sustainability initiative at Smithfield Foods
LPNs provide basic nursing care under the
direction of Registered Nurses (RN) and doctors. They work in many settings, ranging from
nursing homes and hospitals to doctors’ offices.
To become an LPN, students must complete a
one-year state-approved educational program
and pass an LPN license exam. Many students
use the LPN as a stepping stone toward becoming an RN.
These dollars will be used to change lives and
make incredible differences in this region and for
Paul D. Camp Community College students.
This collaboration between Birdsong Peanuts,
the Suffolk Foundation and PDCCC is a healthy
benefit for our region.
