On Friday September 21st, the Blue Ridge Community College Educational Foundation hosted the annu
al President’s Luncheon at which we honor the donors who support the College with gifts of $1000 or more annually. At this year’s event we named both Debbie Metz and Dr. Jim Perkins as “Directors Emeritus” for their significant contributions to the Board of the Educational Foundation.

Debbie Metz also received the Director Emeritus designation for her outstanding service on the BRCC Educational Foundation Board! Debbie is pictured here with her husband, Dave.
2010 BRCC graduate Lacey Derrow delivered a
compelling keynote address discussing the positive impact that her education at Blue Ridge Community College had on her employment and personal success. Thanks to everyone who supports the wonderful mission of Blue Ridge Community College!

I’ve really enjoyed having the opportunity to attend meetings of local civic organizations and making presentations about the mission of community colleges. I’m meeting so many wonderful people from the community and taking the opportunity to tell them a little bit about my background, as well as many of the wonderful initiatives that are going on at Blue Ridge Community College. I’ve mentioned our continuous enrollment growth, our citation in the Chronicle of Higher Education as one of the best community colleges in the country to work for, our partnerships with local school divisions and the excellent work done by the Blue Ridge Tech Prep Consortium. Blue Ridge Community College has such a wonderful story to tell about providing students with an opportunity to work hard to make a better life for themselves as well as for the local community. If you are a member of a civic organization that would benefit from hearing about the good work of Blue Ridge Community College in our local area, don’t hesitate to contact me.
