A YEAR OF ANNIVERSARIES
16O
5O
YEARS AGO
On July 9, 1853, the original charter for
the the Concord Presbyterian Female
College was granted by the state. The
goal was to provide young women with an education equal to opportunities offered
to young men. Construction of the College began and the doors opened to the first
students in the fall of 1856. Since that time, the College has persevered due to strong
leadership and tremendous support from the community.

In May 1973, the NC General Assembly gave
approval for Mitchell College to merge with
the NC Community College System. The
bill was sponsored by Reps. J.P.. Huskins
and Homer Tolbert. With the merger, came
an emphasis on expanding technical and
vocational offerings, adult education,
and high school equivalency, all of which
were key components of a comprehensive
community college.
YEARS AGO
In June 1983, Mitchell Community College
purchased the old Mooresville Junior High
School gymnasium on Academy Street.
In the fall, after extensive rennovation to
create classrooms, offices, and a large
vocational training area, classes began.
Mitchell Community College Documentary
To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the North Carolina Community College
System, UNCTV produced documentaries on each of the 58 community colleges.

YEARS AGO
On May 16, 1963, the NC General
Assembly created the Department of
Community Colleges by combining
twenty industrial education centers, six
community colleges and five extension
units—transforming North Carolina’s
higher education and workforce
training into what has become a model
emulated world-wide.
From Manteo to Murphy, every North
Carolinian today is within a 30-mile drive
of high quality, locally focused education
and training at our community colleges.
Enrollment has skyrocketed from
28,000 in 1966 to 253,000 full-time
equivalent students in 2011. Highquality, moderate-cost, higher education
programs have made our 58 community
colleges an attractive first step for those
seeking post-high school degrees and
credentials. One in eight North Carolina
adults participates in our educational
and training offerings.
North Carolina Community College
graduates drive the North Carolina
economy. Since the late 1950s, more
than 600,000 North Carolina workers at
greater than 15,000 new and existing
North Carolina businesses have received
customized training in areas from
aviation to life sciences to industrial
systems, machining and welding.
Our community colleges are the
number one source for North Carolina’s
health care, advanced manufacturing,
biotech production and first-responder
employees. For over four decades, our
graduates have been vital to the success
of companies in our state.
Community colleges have opened the
doors of education, training, success and
life-long learning to millions of North
Carolinians. The tremendous benefit our
community colleges have on our state is
undisputed.

Rocket Team Launches Opportunities
Participation and NASA Interships lead to advanced degrees and great jobs!
Each year Mitchell Community College
adds new satisfied graduates to its
ranks, but few have stories of student
engagement and real-world learning to
match those of the Mitchell Rocket Team.
Since 2009, the College has fielded a
team each year in national competitions
sponsored by NASA. Mitchell was one
of 22 colleges nationwide selected to
participate in the NASA University Student
Launch Initiative (NSLI) that year. As
representatives of the first community
college in the nation to qualify for the
initiative, the team was already in the
spotlight. When they placed seventh and
followed up in 2010 with a fourth place
finish, Mitchell gained national recognition
for the quality of its programs supporting
the Rocket Team.
In 2011, Mitchell qualified for NASA’s
Level 2 Challenge, a tougher competition
that required teams to develop scientific
payloads. Mitchell competed in NASA’s
RockSat-C program in 2012 and 2013
with the PEGASIS payloads the team
designed and built. PEGASUS stands
for Passive Energy Generation for Space
2009 Rocket Team

Instrumentation Systems. The units were
tested with flights aboard a two-stage
NASA Terrier-Orion sounding rocket
carrying payloads developed by RockOn
teams at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in
Virginia. After reaching a projected altitude
of 72 miles, the payloads were recovered
and returned to the teams for analysis.
The Mitchell Rocket Team’s goal for the
2013-14 academic year is to qualify for
the NASA RockOn Workshop, a weeklong
event during which participants build small
scientific instrument payloads to be flown
on a NASA sounding rocket.
“Mitchell’s rocketry program is definitely
connecting life to learning,” says Dr.
Tim Brewer, Mitchell’s president. “We’re
preparing students for great careers by
giving them opportunities to do hands-on
design guided by science. The team also
gives students from different program
areas opportunities to collaborate and
solve real-world problems.” Marketing and
business majors provide communications
and community outreach activities.
2010 Rocket Team
Josh Calnan graduated from Mitchell
Community College in 2008 and headed to
the NASA Robotics Academy at Marshall
Space Flight Center for the summer to
serve as a research assistant. That fall, he
began work on a bachelor’s degree in civil
engineering at the University of Kentucky.
When summer rolled around, he returned
to Marshall to serve as a team leader for a
research group.
Calnan graduated with a bachelor’s in
civil engineering in December 2010. He
immediately began work on a master’s
degree through the Mining Department at
Kentucky and began studying explosives
with Dr. Braden Lusk of Discovery Channel
fame. Calnan, who has completed his
master’s and begun work on his doctorate,
focuses his research on blast mitigation
techniques to protect buildings and their
occupants.
“I am very thankful that I chose to go
to Mitchell rather than heading directly
to a four-year university,” Calnan says. “In
my opinion, the quality of education that I
received there was equal to or better than
that of a fouryear university.
With the small
class sizes, the
instructors
knew who I
was and were
able to provide
individual
attention. Try

Robert Stegall graduated from Mitchell
in 2009 and transferred to the University
of North Carolina at Charlotte where he
double-majored in mechanical engineering
and physics. While at UNCC, Stegall and
two of his fellow Mitchell Rocket Team
members, Brian Couch and Eugene Yang,
started an official Rocket Club and NASA

USLI team modeled after the USLI team at
Mitchell. This team will enter its third year
of competition this fall.
“Mitchell provided me with the base
education and the confidence I needed to
succeed at UNC Charlotte,” Stegall says.
Today Stegall is a computational analyst
for Corvid Technologies in Mooresville.
Currently working as part of the Tactical
Vehicle Team, Stegall uses computational
physics and high performance computing
resources to help develop armor systems
for tactical military vehicles. He has
also worked with the company’s Test
Equipment Development Team, and is the
primary designer of a ballistic shock wave
generator that is in the final stages of
testing.
Neil Taylor graduated from Mitchell
in 2011 and enrolled at UNCC, where
he is a senior majoring in electrical
engineering. Taylor, a NASA Aerospace
Community College Scholar, was awarded
a Department of Defense SMART
scholarship for students pursuing an
undergraduate or graduate degree in
Science, Technology, Engineering or
Mathematics. Later this academic year,
Taylor will begin graduate studies at UNCC
while he completes his bachelor’s degree.
With Mitchell Rocket Team Founder
Dr. Doug Knight’s encouragement, Taylor
applied for a NASA internship and was
offered five internships for the same
summer. “I don’t think I can adequately
explain the fundamental change that had
on my future,” Taylor says. “Up until that
time, I was just going through the motions
of getting a degree because I wanted to
make more money.” He decided to accept
the internship to the Lunar and Planetary
Science Academy at the NASA Goddard
Space Flight Center, and was awarded a
North Carolina Space Grant to fund his
study. Taylor says the choices he faced that
summer made him realize that he could
have a “cool” career and not just a job.
Taylor says he thrived at Mitchell and
credits the school’s emphasis on personal
attention with providing him a solid
academic foundation for success at UNCC.
Gary Staggers graduated from Mitchell
in 2012 with an associate degree in
mechanical engineering technology, and
headed to the Kennedy Space Center for a
paid NASA internship awarded in part for
his work as mechanical lead on Mitchell’s
NASA USLI Rock-Sat Team. A former
NASCAR chief mechanic, Staggers moved
easily into his role in the NASA lab doing
3-dimensional design work for NASA
customers.
He has since taken a job as a
continuous improvement engineer at Lift
Technologies in Westminster, S.C., and
enrolled in Clemson University to pursue
a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering.
Lift provides full tuition reimbursement
and compensates his school hours as
working hours. When Staggers completes
his degree, he will become a senior design
engineer.
“The instructors at Mitchell give you
a comfortable environment to learn and
help you understand topics that are
relevant to working in industry,” Staggers
says. “The Mitchell Rocket Team was a
standout item on my resume. It provided
me an opportunity to participate in a
NASA internship.”
Tony Briceno graduated from Mitchell in
2013 with an associate degree in electronic
engineering technology. With his
educational accomplishments and his work
on the Mitchell Rocket Team, Briceno was
chosen for one of six internships offered
in conjunction with the relaunch of the
Space Life Sciences Training Program that
operated for many years at Kennedy Space
Center. With help from Lockheed Martin,
the Biosciences Division at NASA’s Ames
Research Center revived the program.
Briceno spent the summer facilitating
the development of electrical interfaces
on the Lunar Plants Project, an initiative
to research the effects of deep space on
the germination and growth of plants. He
also enjoyed visiting many NASA labs and
facilities and seeing San Francisco Bay area
landmarks. Since returning home, Briceno
is employed at ASMO, a manufacturer of
DC motors for the automobile industry
located in Statesville.

Mitchell Community College has been
granted accreditation through 2020 for
its Early Childhood Education program by
the National Association of Education for
Young Children (NAEYC). Accreditation by
NAEYC is recognized as the standard of
excellence for early childhood education
programs.
The College originally earned NAEYC
accreditation in 2006 when it was among
the first five community colleges in the
nation to win accreditation through
this organization. Today it is one of 20
community colleges in North Carolina
and 137 institutions in the nation that
hold NAEYC accreditation for an early
childhood program.
“The report was fabulous,” said
Dede Dunst, coordinator of the Early
Childhood Education program at Mitchell.
“Terms such as ‘meaningful learning
opportunities’ and ‘engaged faculty’
showed up in our report, and these
are the keys to our success in training
students to work with young children.”
The NAEYC report praised Mitchell’s 2007
online technology implementation for
every early childhood class along with the
addition of a four-hour field experience in
every early childhood course.

PARTNERSHIPS
Mitchell is Building Technical Talents for Iredell County
Mitchell Community College launched
the Building Technical Talents program
earlier this year to prepare workers for
advanced manufacturing and bio-tech jobs
available in Iredell County.
“Most manufacturing jobs of today
are no longer hard-labor jobs with long
hours,” says Dr. Tim Brewer, Mitchell’s
president. “It’s now high skill, high wage
jobs that require a much greater skill set.
That’s what we’re focusing on here at
Mitchell.”
The Building Technical Talents program
reflects this change by offering multiple
entry and exit points within programs. This
approach allows workers to get entry-level
skills to land their first job and return for
advanced coursework to gain the skills
required to earn a promotion. The multiple
enrollments and certifications within a
technical field are known as “stackable
credentials” since each segment builds on
previous segments. Technical programs are
built around a core of general education
courses to allow students to earn
certificates or associate degrees within
multiple technical programs to increase
their breadth of knowledge and value in
the workplace.
Some technical programs offer
coursework on a continuing education
basis while others offer courses for college
credit or a combination of the two.
Students who demonstrate mastery in
subjects they studied through approved
continuing education courses and high
school classes may be awarded college
credit to prevent repetition and expedite
their completion of a college certificate or
degree.
“The main objective of the Building
Technical Talents project is to connect
educational training provided by Mitchell
Community College to the identified needs
of our local business and industry,” says
Carol Johnson, vice president of continuing
education and workforce development at
Mitchell. “We have identified a skills gap
in advanced manufacturing, including
bio-tech, and we are working to provide
training to the people who will provide the
solutions to these companies.”
Johnson adds that the College is
dependent on employers to help fulfill
the mission of putting students to work
in internships and cooperative work
opportunities that may lead to permanent
employment. “Our goal is always to help
put people to work in jobs that will sustain
their families and provide them a measure
of accomplishment and satisfaction,”
Johnson says.
Kelly Pardue has been named Job
Placement Specialist in Mitchell’s
Workforce and Continuing Education
Division. The position has been funded
for one year through the NC Rural
Economic Development Center to provide
a liaison between students and industry.
Pardue works with technical experts to
align Mitchell’s curriculum with industry
needs and develop work-based learning
opportunities for students. She also
assists in placing students in full-time,
training-related jobs once they complete a
credential.
“This position is important to the
success of our Building Technical Talents
programs,” says Johnson. “We need to
make sure our training matches the needs
of business and industry and that they are
satisfied with the caliber of individuals we
place in internships or full-time positions.”

Faculty Gets
Certified for
Online Instruction
Mitchell’s faculty pilot state
certification program
The North Carolina Community
College System Virtual Learning
Community (VLC) is creating a
series of professional development
courses related to online instruction.
Mitchell Community College
was selected to pilot the Level 1
program.
The Level 1 program, Certified
Online Instructor, introduces the
basics of online teaching. Topics
include online theory and practice,
trends in online learning and
course delivery. Participants explore
teaching and learning styles for
adult learners and digital natives.
The course takes 12-20 hours
to complete, depending on the
individual’s skill level.
All full-time instructors will
complete Level 1 by December 31,
2013. To date, over 50 percent of
the College’s full-time instructors
and nearly 40 percent of the adjunct
instructors have completed Level
1. Instructors received 10 hours of
professional development credits
upon completion.
Future levels offered by the VLC
will offer more intensive training for
hybrid courses, Internet courses and
advanced learning. Mitchell will be
the pilot for Level 2 this fall.
“This certification is going to
upgrade the quality level of our

INNOVATION
New Inhouse English Textbook Launched
Students save money and get to participate in ongoing edits and improvements.
Students in English 111 have a lot to like about this class.
The textbook is $6.08 or free if students choose to download
a copy. The textbook was the brainchild of Dr. Jill Channing,
English department coordinator and was worked on by full-time
instructors Ben Butler, Annette Moore, David Moss, Ben Pressley,
Kimberly Singh and Kelly Wisdom, who served as senior editor.
Part-time instructors Cassandra Taylor and Dr. Peter Theis also
helped. The new book was piloted over the summer and was
refined based on feedback from faculty and students.
“We are sensitive to the cost of books for our students,” says
Channing. “By creating our own textbook, we could tailor it to our
needs and at the same time reduce the cost.” The book previously
used cost $60. It replaced a book that was $100.
“This innovative approach fits our goal of connecting life to
learning,” said Dr. Roxanne Newton, dean of humanities and fine
arts. “Students are getting firsthand experience in the writing and
editing.”

Mitchell Community College is
launching a Diversity Enrichment Initiative.
The initiative aims to generate an
appreciation of the diversity within the
campus community students, faculty and
staff.
A community college campus offers a
rich diverse environment. There one can
find differences in age, race, ethnicity,
gender, religion, socioeconomic status,
sexual orientation, and other variables.
“By increasing our conscious awareness
of other people’s ideas, life stories,
experiences, beliefs, and more, we can
enhance our ability to be truly respectful,”
says committee member Rita Taggert.
“We want to shine a light on campus
10 | The Circle Magazine
diversity,” says committee member Dr.
Amy Naylor. “We look forward to helping
the Mitchell community look within and
discover what a rich blend of experiences
and perspectives we have and how these
can enrich our lives.”
“We live and work in a global society,”
says Dr. Tim Brewer, Mitchell’s president.
“If our students are going to be successful
in the workplace, it is critical that they
leave our institution with an awareness
and appreciation of the many diverse
opportunities and issues we face today.
That means our faculty and staff must set
the example.”
The Diversity Enrichment Initiative will
continue hosting the Viola Parker Diversity
Awards, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Holiday Program, and the International
Festival.
Professional Development
Plans are underway for a new
Professional Development Institute, a
cross-disciplinary, cross-departmental
professional learning community.
“We want to create a culture of inquiry
and to inspire excellence in all aspects of
our work,” says Dr. Roxanne Newton.
Team members (l-r) Dr. Roxanne Newton, dean of
humanities and fine arts, Dr. Camille Reese, vice
president of instruction, and Jodee Fulton, director of
human resources.
Areas of concentration include
teamwork, customer service, technology,
student support services plus learning and
teaching skills. Training will be delivered
through workshops, online, and “just-intime” learning opportunities.
A summer retreat will launch a year-long
academic learning community for a select
group of faculty. They will meet during the
year to collaborate, experiment, research,
and implement new teaching practices.

Enrollment
Fall headcount has rebounded to 3,526
after dropping to 3,460 in fall 2012. This
increase of 1.9% over the previous fall
is primarily due to gains in Career and
College Promise enrollment, up 75% and
Early College enrollment up 20%. These
gains translate to an increase in the
college transfer program.
Despite the increase in student
headcount, overall estimated Full Time
Enrollment (FTE) decreased by 3% this fall
as students, on average, are taking fewer
contact hours than a year ago.
While there has been a decline in
continuing education enrollment, there
has been an increase in the number of
students participating in the Human
Resource Development program as well
as in manufacturing-related training
and certificate classes. We attribute this
growth to the number of unemployed
and underemployed individuals wanting
to upgrade their skills. With the current
version of the GED® test expiring at the
end of 2013, we are currently increased
enrollment as students work to complete
their testing before the deadline.

Revenues and Expenditures
Mitchell faces a reduction in the 201314 state budget due to changes in the
funding formula. Funding which is based
on FTE (Full Time Equivalent) metrics was
changed from using the larger of the prior
year actual FTE or a three-year average, to
the larger of the prior year FTE to a twoyear average. This resulted in a $274,000
drop in this year’s allocation. In addition,
the 2013-2014 state budget was $60,000
less than the 2012-2013 fiscal year budget
due to reduced enrollment. The MCCEE
allocation of $450,000 to the College
will help tremendously in filling the gap
caused by the reduced state funding.

Lackey Honors Mother with Scholarship
Mary Ella Little Lackey Nursing Scholarship to provide financial
support for student.
Brig. General William “Bill” Lackey has a
lot of memories of Mitchell College. While
he was never a student, he grew up on
West End Avenue and spent a lot of time
on campus.
“I remember the first time I went over to
Mitchell,” said Lackey. “I was in elementary
school and my mother took me to a May
Day program. The College was an all-girls
school at the time.”
Growing up, Lackey and his friends
played on the campus. Around 1947, when
veterans began returning home from the
war he met Ted Thompson, a veteran and
student. Thompson saw the group of kids
playing and asked if they wanted to form a
football team. So Lackey, along with 14-15
friends became the Mitchell football team.
Another Mitchell connection was his
friendship with John Montgomery Jr., son
of Mitchell’s President John Montgomery Sr.
After high school, Lackey went to Chapel
Hill. His original plan was to run track
for Alabama but after driving a friend
to Chapel Hill, the coaches convinced
him to run track for Carolina. At Chapel
Hill, Lackey became interested in the
Reserve Officer’s Training Course. He
spent 35 years in the Air Force serving as
a command pilot, instructor, examiner and
test pilot and flew 28 combat missions in
Vietnam. He retired in 1994 as a Brigadier
General.
During the 80s, Lackey served on an
education foundation for seven years.
“That’s when I really saw the need to
help young people,” said Lackey. “We
did a survey of community colleges and
junior colleges trying to determine the
number of students who could not afford
to extend their education. That’s when we
started looking into scholarships.” His first
was a football scholarship for an AfricanAmerican male from Greensboro. “I saw
what financial assistance did for this young
man.” That started an ongoing financial
commitment and motivation to help
students.
The Mary Ella Little Lackey Nursing
Scholarship will honor his mother who was
Brig. General William “Bill” Lackey
a nurse at Davis Hospital. “That was her
first love and remained her first love for
many years after I was born,” said Lackey.
“She would attend every graduation
and would co-host luncheons for the
graduates.”
Lackey and his wife Sybil have been
generous in their support for education.
The two are avid Carolina fans and when
not attending games, reside at Windy Rock
Farm in Statesville.
Dedication Honors Drs. Roueche for their Generosity
Dr. John Roueche ‘58 and Dr. Suanne Roueche
Mitchell Community College hosted a
dedication and naming ceremony for the
newly-renovated Kirkman House Board
12 | The Circle Magazine
Room in honor of Drs. John and Suanne
Roueche in June.
Dr. John Roueche is an Iredell County
native and a 1958 graduate of Mitchell
College. He was recognized in 2009 as
the recipient of the Mitchell Community
College Distinguished Alumni Award.
He retired in 2012 after 42 years of
service as the Sid W. Richardson Regents
Chair and the Director of the Community
College Leadership Program (CCLP) at the
University of Texas at Austin.
He attributes the support he received
from faculty at Mitchell as the reason he
continued his education and the catalyst
for his passion for community colleges.
Drs. Roueche are internationally
known leaders in the community college
movement and have trained and mentored
over 200 community college CEOs. They
have authored over 40 books and over
150 chapters and journal articles on
community college education.
The recognition was made in
acknowledgement of their lasting
contributions as practitioners of leadership
development in community colleges and
in higher education, and in appreciation
for their generosity and ongoing
commitment to Mitchell Community
College.
While in Statesville for the dedication,
they were introduced to nine of the ten
students who received 2013 Roueche
Scholarships.

Litaker Pledges Gift to Honor Husband and Daughter
Mrs. Betty Jo Litaker
Mrs. Betty Jo Litaker has many fond
memories of Mitchell College. One
memory that stands out took place on a
Saturday afternoon on the stage in Shearer
Hall. St. John’s Lutheran Church was using
Shearer Hall for Sunday morning worship
services while a new sanctuary was
being built. Carl came over on Saturday
to prepare the stage for the service and
brought Betty Jo along. That day, on the
stage of Shearer Hall, Carl proposed to
Betty Jo. Following their honeymoon, Betty
Jo joined St. John’s Lutheran Church in
Shearer Hall. That was in 1956 and what
began as mutual love for each other led to
a mutual love for Mitchell College.
Carl was one of the first six men
admitted to Mitchell Junior College. He
graduated in 1935 and enrolled at LenoirRhyne, then enlisted in the U.S. Army.
Following the army, he continued his
education at Appalachian State University
where he met Betty Jo.
The Litaker’s moved to Greensboro and
were delighted to return to Statesville in
1959 when Carl was offered the position
of dean and registrar at Mitchell College.
Betty Jo took a position in the College
library.
Mrs. Litaker worked in the Mitchell
College library before their daughter Carla
was born in 1962.
The students were excited to meet Carla
when she was just a few weeks old. In
fact, they pitched in and bought her a lace
shawl. Betty Jo still has the shawl which
Carla wore to several proms.
Mr. Litaker later served on Mitchell’s
board of trustees and was a charter
member of the Mitchell Community
College Endowment for Excellence Board
of Directors. Carl Litaker passed away in
2001.
Carla Kay Litaker Hearst graduated
from Statesville High School and Salem
College. She married Leo Vincent Hearst
III. Ms. Hearst always had a love for music
and enjoyed singing with the Mitchell
Community College Choir. She passed
away in 2010 after a valiant 16 month
struggle with breast cancer.
In 2012, the Litaker-Hearst Lobby in the
Student Services Center was dedicated in
memory of Carl Litaker and their daughter
Carla Litaker-Hearst.
To honor the memory of her husband
and daughter, Mrs. Litaker has made a
deferred gift to the Mitchell Community
College Endowment for Excellence and
to Mitchell Community College for an
endowed music scholarship.
Carl Litaker
Scholarship to Honor Community Leader
The family of William “Woody” Woodard has created an endowed scholarship to honor
his memory. The “Woody” Woodward NAACP Memorial Scholarship will be awarded
annually to a graduating resident of Statesville Public Housing who has demonstrated a
zest for academic excellence and civic involvement.
“Woody was an advocate for the disadvantaged. He also believed in the importance
of an education and how it could change lives,” said Dorothy Woodard, his widow who is
also a member of the the College’s Board of Trustees. Woodard died May 21, 2013, as the
result of an automobile accident.
Woodard left a legacy of service to the community and a long-standing passion
for equality. He was president of the local NAACP, a member of the Iredell County Jail
Population Task Force, a member and chairman of the Fifth Street Shelter Ministries board
of directors, and a charter member and past president of I.M.P.A.C.T., Inc.
Individuals who would like to contribute to the scholarship fund can send a check
payable to the MCCEE and marked “Woodard Scholarship” and mail it to MCCEE, 500 W.

Rankin Heads to NYU Law School
Joshua Rankin ‘11 selected New York University School of Law to
pursue his law degree. NYU was one of five colleges that accepted
his application. He started classes this fall. “I chose NYU because of
its strong academic reputation and a strong alumni network that
will serve me well following graduation,” said Rankin.
Rankin graduated from Mitchell in 2011 with an associate in
arts college transfer degree. He continued his education on a full
scholarship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and
received a bachelor’s degree in economics in May of this year.
“By going to Mitchell, I got a chance to ‘get my feet wet’ before
going off to school. The low tuition cost meant I got to save a
lot of money,” added Rankin, a Statesville native, who was home
schooled.
At Mitchell Rankin served as an ambassador and graduation
marshal. He also worked as a volunteer fireman and a volunteer at
the Iredell County Public Library.
“I received a quality education at Mitchell where faculty and
staff are committed to helping students succeed not only in the
classroom, but outside of it. They made opportunities available
which helped me tremendously.”
Rankin plans to focus his legal career in the area of child
advocacy.
