Under Dr. Kandi Deitemeyer (2017-Present), our current president, those educational opportunities have evolved into new training and scholarship programs as well as partnerships with other institutions in Mecklenburg County and throughout North Carolina, further transforming lives and shaping the futures of our students. Examples include:
- Tesla START, an automotive technician training program. On display is a picture of Dr. Deitemeyer with the first class of Tesla START students.
- Presidential Scholars, a program that provides an opportunity to receive a scholarship award from one of the College’s most prestigious scholarship programs and offers a unique cohort experience for first-time freshmen attending Central Piedmont. On display is a photo of Dr. Deitemeyer with the 2nd Year Cohort (2017-2018).
- College Transfer Programs, such as the 49erNext Program with UNC Charlotte (on display is a picture of Dr. Deitemeyer with UNC Charlotte’s former Chancellor, Philip L. Dubois) and the Gateway to Wingate Program with Wingate University (on display is a photo of Wingate University President Dr. Rhett Brown, Lauren Tikalsky, and Dr. Deitemeyer). Central Piedmont partners with many other public and private institutions throughout North Carolina, including East Carolina University and Appalachian State University.
