The CPCC Vision

In 1963, Mecklenburg College and the Central Industrial Education Center were merged to establish Central Piedmont Community College, one of the first of the 58 colleges in the NC Community College System. In 1963, there were 23 degree and diploma programs; now there are more than 300 degree, diploma, and certificate programs, along with a comprehensive literacy program, and an extensive array of corporate and continuing education offerings.

 

As one of the largest community colleges in the Carolinas, CPCC now serves over 70,000 people at its six full-service campuses across Mecklenburg County.

 

Dr. Kandi Deitemeyer, CPCC's fourth president, has led the College since December 1992.  She is devoted to the mission of CPCC and to serving students and the community through customized training and workforce development.
