Welcome from Mayland Community College’s President
Your support drives us in our mission to be our service region’s educational
gateway to opportunity. As you will see in these pages, the College’s values
focus on community, which is, in essence, economic development. Another
value we carry is excellence, which is really workforce training, and the third
value is opportunity, which is quality of life. We believe that quality of life leads
to people being able to have a higher earning value for that life.
The College continues to redouble its service to our community by taking a
leading role in the region’s economic development. A prime example is the
Anspach Advanced Manufacturing School, which will have an estimated
economic impact of $3 million on the local economy by 2016. For economic
development and thriving communities, our region needs a trained workforce.
All funds to build the $2.5 million facility are being privately raised. Support
from local industry and individuals will make the Anspach Advanced
Manufacturing School a reality. We expect to break ground in November, 2013.
The College is also now operating the EnergyXchange as one of its facilities.
In addition to the artist studios at this alternative energy site, the College is
defining itself as a leader in the propagation of native plants, including some
rare and endangered species. In the coming months, work there will focus on
hydroponics as well as the development of a series of themed gardens. Plans
for The Blue Ridge Star Park and Observatory also continue to take shape.
In other areas, the College continues to make progress as an educational
leader: I am pleased to report that Mayland Community College was just
ranked #10 of the top 50 community colleges in the nation by
Thebestschools.org In the coming months, grant funding will make an Adult
High School part of the College’s Adult Education offerings, area entrepreneurs
will benefit from having access to a community kitchen at our Mitchell Campus,
and the College will continue to fine tune operations while working through our
next SACS reaffirmation process.
You are always welcome at Mayland, and we value our community’s input.
Sincerely,
John C. Boyd, MCC President

Basic Skills Department.
Brenda Peterson is
MCC’s 2012 Staff
Excellence Award
Recipient
After working in the textile industry for
17 years and suddenly being told she
no longer had a job, Brenda Peterson
was devastated, knowing she did not
have a high school education and had
not been to school for 22 years.
Peterson enrolled in the GED®
program at Mayland in January 1998.
The old saying “You’re never to old to
learn” still rings true for her. Peterson
completed her GED® in four months
and entered curriculum classes.
Peterson received her Associates
Degree in Office Systems Technology
and a certificate in Information
Systems in May 2000, graduating with
honors in the Phi Theta Kappa Honor
Society and receiving an Outstanding
In her position in the Basic Skills
Department, Peterson has been able
to help other displaced workers in
the Tri-County area deal with the
same feelings and apprehensions
that she experienced.
“It is certainly true that when one
door closes another door opens,”
said Peterson.
“Having been awarded the
2012 Staff Excellence Award
was such an honor.
Knowing you have been
chosen by your peers to
receive this award means so
much to me and I want to
always maintain the integrity
of Mayland Community
College. I am truly blessed to
work in such a great place,”
said Peterson.
Meeting community needs
Mayland students who need to see
a doctor, but have no time to miss
class or work can utilize medical
services now available in in the
Health Sciences Facility on the
Mitchell Campus. Partnering with
MY Health-e-Schools Telemedicine
Program, the health sciences
programs serve students as well as
faculty and staff, providing many
services for symptoms including the
common sore throat, cough or
stomach ache, chronic disease
management, medical management
and telepsychology/telebehavioral
health. MY Health-e-Schools
functions just like a regular doctor’s
office. Insurance claims are filed,
with copays and deductibles billed
to the patient. There is also a sliding
fee scale for those without
insurance. Best of all, students
enrolled in health sciences
programs gain valuable experience
working with medical professionals
as they are placed in real-life
scenarios.
Keegan Anderson is MCC’s 2012 Teaching
Excellence Recipient
Mayland Community College instructor Keegan Anderson was presented with the
2012 Teaching Excellence Award. Anderson has taught at Mayland for ten years,
teaching in the prison programs for three years and on the College’s Mitchell
Campus for the last seven years. Anderson teaches web design, database design,
networking, computer hardware, and finance classes for the college. “I am thankful
first and foremost to my Lord Jesus Christ; without him I would not be here,” said
Anderson. “I am very blessed to be a part of an organization with so many good
people, in one of the most beautiful places on earth.”
“The students [at Mayland]
are such an inspiration to
me.They work so hard and
do so much to achieve their
goals,” said Anderson,

Mayland begins
Therapeutic
Massage and
Bodywork Program
Students interested in pursuing a
career in therapeutic massage now
have a convenient and affordable local
option for training. Mayland launched
its new Professional Therapeutic
Massage and Bodywork program in
2012 at the College’s Yancey Learning
Center. Students have the choice of a
full-time or part-time program and day
and evening class options. Students
who complete the program may be
eligible to take the Massage and
Bodywork Licensing Exam (MBLEx)
and apply for licensure with the North
Carolina Board of Massage and
Bodywork Therapy. A Massage Clinic
debuted in the summer to allow
students to complete clinical
requirements for the program.
“My success cannot be accredited to
me only. First and foremost, I must
thank God Almighty for allowing me
the great privilege to achieve the
grades and accomplishments that He
has so blessed me with,” said Elkins.
“If it had not been for the loving
support of my family, church, and the
learning atmosphere of the
classroom, the encouragement of my
classmates, and the excellent effort of
my instructors to help me reach my
full potential, then none of this would
be possible.”
Elkins is a part-time employee, fulltime student, and young preacher
who is currently considering
achieving his bachelor’s degree in
agriculture education from North
Carolina A&T’s online program and at
the same time earning a bachelor’s
degree in theology online from a local
theological college.
“I know that my time at Mayland
Community College is well spent
because of the experiences in life and
hands-on learning tools that have
come to help me achieve great goals
and realize what I really want to do
with my life,” said Elkins.

Reaffirmation of Accreditation by SACSCOC
MCC has begun the decennial reaffirmation of the accreditation process through
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The success of the
reaffirmation process depends upon four paramount concepts: Focus on student
learning; Peer review from other higher education professional educators;
Instructional integrity evidenced by accurate and truthful information; Commitment
to quality enhancement and continuous improvement.
The process involves approximately two years dedicated to improvement and
student learning. The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), entitled Quest for Quality,
will focus on assuring quality distance learning, course development and faculty
training. The Compliance Certification will be completed and submitted for off site
evaluation in March of 2014 and the QEP will be submitted July 2014.

Mayland Community College celebrated DREAM (Dreams Realized Every day At Mayland) Day this
April. Scholarship recipients, donors, members of MCC’s Board of Trustees and Foundation Board of
Directors gathered to celebrate student success. Over 100 people attended. The event recognized
donors and scholarship recipients since January 2012. Student speakers included Austin Elkins,
Doug Emmett and Stacy Yarbrough. The Mayland Community College Foundation administered
$86,000 in scholarship support in 2011 and $112,000 in 2012.
Foundation hosts Drive for the Green
Tournaments at Linville Golf Club
The Mayland Community Foundation held its annual Drive for the
Green Golf Tournaments in 2012 and 2013 at Linville Golf Club.
For both years, the tournament was full. 2013 marked the
Foundation’s 25th tournament.
“It would take a lot more than fog and chilly weather to prevent us
from having a great day of golf,” said Laura Laughridge, Executive
Director of the Mayland Community College Foundation. “We filled
the tournament again this year, and we appreciate the ongoing
support of our sponsors. This is truly a favorite community event.”
Twenty-five years ago, 20 players forged the golf tournament as a
new event for Mayland on an October day at Mount Mitchell Golf
Course in Yancey County. Over the years, the tournament has
seen sunshine and rain, and it has been held at various courses
throughout Mayland’s three-county service region.
“The true constants are the support of our community—our
sponsors and our players---who participate year after year,”
Laughridge said.
Mayland Community College President, John Boyd, prepared a
whole pig for an old-fashioned pig-pickin’ at the close of the
tournament.
“The golf tournament really is about community. We appreciate
this time to connect and celebrate with the community we serve,”
Dr. Boyd said.

Club on May 3,” said Laura Laughridge, the Foundation’s
Executive Director. “We could not have asked for better
support from these restaurants or for a lovelier venue, in
spite of the foggy weather.”
Tastes and Tees on the Green also included a silent
auction. Canadian-born singer-songwriter Barry Stagg of
Spruce Pine provided musical entertainment.The
Foundation is already planning for next year’s Tastes and
