British Higher Education Officials Visit Johnston Community College

May 24, 2002

Johnston Community College hosted a delegation of 17 higher education officials from the United Kingdom May 16.  The visitors were on campus to explore cooperation, collaboration, and articulation between community colleges and universities in North Carolina.

The universities in the United Kingdom and the Colleges of Further Education are just beginning to develop a strong transfer and cooperative relationship.  Having learned of the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement and other work between community colleges and universities in North Carolina, the officials wanted to visit us and see for themselves.

In addition to JCC, the British representatives visited Johnston Community College, North Carolina State University, Guilford Technical Community College, North Carolina A&T State University, Central Piedmont Community College, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Caldwell Technical Institute and Community College, Wilkes Community College, and Appalachian State University.

The trip and tours are a continuing recognition of the North Carolina Community College System as a leader both at home and abroad.
