Dr. Greg McLeod, president of Edgecombe Community College, has been appointed to the American Association of Community Colleges' (AACC) Commission on Small, Rural and Regional Resilience, providing a national platform to advocate for the needs of rural community colleges.

The AACC is the leading advocacy organization for more than 1,000 community colleges and associate-degree-granting institutions nationwide. The Commission on Small, Rural and Regional Resilience is one of six AACC commissions that advise the organization's Board of Directors. The commission focuses on supporting under-resourced institutions by identifying innovative strategies that promote economic growth, resource sharing and broadband access.

Two Edgecombe County high school graduates will attend Edgecombe Community College tuition-free after being selected as recipients of the Dr. Hartwell H. Fuller Jr. Endowed Merit Scholarship.

Edgecombe Community College has been selected as one of only five community colleges in North Carolina to participate in the inaugural AI in Career and Technical Education (AI in CTE) initiative. Five ECC faculty members took part in two training sessions — the first held on the ECC campus and the second at Surry Community College in Dobson, N.C.
