How do we reach you in a campus emergency?

Posted on by

Safety Moment poster of actions to take in emergencies: call 6911, use the AED, meet emergency personnel and evacuateCampus safety is the top priority of Central Piedmont’s Risk, Safety and Security teams, and we want you to have a safe and successful fall semester. In case of an emergency, it’s important that we are able to alert you, and we also want you to know how to contact us if you see something happening on campus. 

Emergency Notifications
For Critical Alert messaging, Central Piedmont uses a mass notification system to send urgent alerts to you via text, phone call, and college email if college operations are ever impacted by inclement weather, a power outage, or a campus emergency. We strongly encourage you to keep your mobile number updated in your MyCollege user profile for emergency communications.
Check and update your contact information here:

Please note you cannot opt out of Critical Alert notification emails to your Central Piedmont account because your Central Piedmont email is the college’s official channel of communication.

Safety & Security Procedures
We also want to remind you of the information available on Central Piedmont’s website about What To Do In An Emergency, for situations including an active shooter, severe weather, fire, and more. We all play a role in safety at the college, so please familiarize yourself with safety and security protocols at the college. In-person classes may begin with a “safety moment” to assign tasks needed in an emergency, such as calling college security, performing CPR/retrieving the AED machine in a medical emergency, and other steps to lead people to safety.

See Something, Say Something
Most importantly, Central Piedmont relies on its students and employees to be the eyes and ears of the college, so if you see or hear something, please say something. If you have a concern of an immediate threat, please call Central Piedmont College Security Services at 704.330.6911.

 Contact College Security Services:

  • Emergency: 704.330.6911
  • Non-Emergency: 704.330.6632

“Embracing Imperfection” exhibit on mental health stigma opens Aug. 15

Posted on by

2-D fiber artwork of vertical stripes, darker on the edges transitioning to blues and pale yellows in the middle“Embracing Imperfection,” an exhibition by Christine Hager-Braun, seeks to obliterate the stigma long associated with mental health. Hager-Braun’s work reflects her own struggle with depression. The colors and composition in her work, while abstract, foster an emotional connection revolving around personal growth, resilience, and acceptance.

Originally from Germany, Hager-Braun’s gained an interest in quilting after her move to the United States, learning, as she says, to paint with needle and thread. As a fiber artist, Hager Braun creates colorful, quilted compositions in order to express emotions without the use of words. This approach parallels to the indescribable feelings and emotions surrounding mental health.

The topic of mental health is especially relevant for students as the daily struggles with peer pressure and balancing an often demanding class schedule with their personal  lives. “Every new art quilt I create is influenced by my belief in the power of a positive mindset. Each piece reflects a triumph over our trials, a reminder of our daily successes, and the promise to ourselves that we will never give up,” says Hager-Braun. Through the medium of fiber artworks and sharing her own story, Hager-Braun hopes to inspire others to, “persevere, heal and thrive.”

WHEN:  August 15 – October 6, Monday – Thursday, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., or by appointment

WHERE: Central Piedmont Central Campus, Overcash Center first floor, Overcash Art Gallery

Interactive art exhibit “Reclaimed Memories” invites you to create stories, art

Posted on by

Black and white hand drawn artwork of a woman in an old fashioned carA new interactive exhibit will open in the Ross Gallery at Central Campus on Aug. 15.

A stray photograph in a thrift store or flea market depicts an unknown person from the past. Their dress, their hair, and the discoloration of the photograph indicates a person from the past. Questions such as, “Who were they?,” and “What is their story?,” come to mind the longer we take in the image. While for many of us it may be easy to set the photograph down and continue on with our own lives, artist Eva Crawford reclaims these images from the 1940s and 1950s, giving them new life by recreating them as life-size drawings.

Following the passing of her father in January of 2021, Crawford sought to create a body of work focused on the preservation of memory. Crawford reclaims lost memories through the use of portraiture, transforming antique film photographs into large-scale drawings and paintings that invite the viewer to create their own stories and memories about the individuals in the artwork.

“Reclaimed Memories” also includes an interactive station with antique photographs. This station encourages gallery visitors to create their own memories, stories, and artwork about the people in the photographs. The stories will be collected and displayed as part of the exhibition.

WHEN: August 15 – October 6, Monday – Thursday, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. or by appointment

WHERE: Central Piedmont Central Campus, Overcash Center first floor, Ross Art Gallery

ARTIST LECTURE: Artist Lecture and reception is September 29, at noon,  at Central Campus in the North Classroom Building Auditorium, Room 1123.

Governor Cooper Visits Campus to Celebrate Success of Longleaf Commitment Grant

Posted on by

Governor Roy Cooper and Dr. Kandi DNorth Carolina Governor Roy Cooper met on Central Piedmont’s Central Campus Thursday with college leadership, elected officials, and students to celebrate Central Piedmont’s success with awarding the Longleaf Commitment Grant to in-need students located throughout the region.

The Longleaf Commitment Grant was originally announced by Gov. Cooper in May 2021 and gives North Carolina high school graduates who plan to attend one of the state’s “Great 58” community colleges the opportunity to receive a grant – not a loan – to cover tuition and fees toward a degree or to attain transfer credit.

Gov Cooper chose to kick off his Longleaf Commitment Grant tour in Charlotte because Central Piedmont has the second highest number of Longleaf Grant recipients among N.C. community colleges. To date, 1,296 Central Piedmont students have received $716,089 in Longleaf Commitment Grant funds.

“We want to make education affordable. We want students to put money in their pockets,” said Gov. Cooper. “The Longleaf Commitment Grants help boost student performance because they allow students to concentrate on their school work. That’s why it’s so important that this grant keeps going and remains available in the future.”

During the press event, Gov. Cooper participated in a roundtable discussion with N.C. Community College System President Thomas Stith III, Central Piedmont President Dr. Kandi Deitemeyer, Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Chris Cathcart, N.C. State Senator Joyce Waddell, N.C. House Representative Carolyn Logan, and Longleaf Commitment Grant recipients (and Central Piedmont students) Noemi Henriquez, Katherine Perez Puquir, and Leila Turner.

The group discussed how the grants are helping students pursue their education, the steps Central Piedmont has taken to successfully share publicly that Longleaf Grant funds are available, and more.

“The Longleaf Commitment Grant funds helped ease the financial burden on my mom who was paying for three college-aged children,” explained Turner. “The grant is not only enabling me to hold on to my precious college savings so I can one day use them toward my four-year degree, but it’s also helping me concentrate on my studies and not have to take on a full-time job to pay for my tuition and fees.”

Harris Campus Helps Bring Art to the People

Posted on by

photo of two canvases with colorful artworkCentral Piedmont is excited to partner with SouthEnd ARTS to bring “OUTER LIMITS,” a 58-piece art exhibition to its Harris I Second Floor Atrium, located on the college’s Harris Campus, now through August 20, 2022.

The six-month art exhibition, curated by Zaire McPhearson and the largest in SouthEnd ARTS’ history, features the work of more than 30 local artists, including Susan Ballard, Pascale Doxy, Molly English, Daysha Lancaster, Stephanie McCall, and more.

McPhearson is a contemporary artist and Brock Family Instructor at Duke University. Her work incorporates photography, graphic design, painting, sound design, sculpture, as well as other mediums, and reflects the complex issues that shape our diverse, global, and ever-changing world. It is through this lens that McPhearson helped select the artists for the “OUTER LIMITS” exhibition and which works from their portfolios to display.

“This exhibition allows us to educate residents outside of a traditional classroom setting, in new and exciting ways,” explains Moses Fox III, director of campus affairs for Central Piedmont’s Harris Campus. “Artwork engages individuals on a variety of levels – both artistically, emotionally, and spiritually – and we’re proud to bring art to the people, serving the local community as both an educational and arts resource.”

Central Piedmont plans to host a handful of events throughout the six-month exhibition to celebrate the artists’ work. It will hold a private, Jurored Awards Ceremony on March 18 to celebrate the artists’ many accomplishments, and plans to highlight the exhibit more publicly on April 14, from 4 – 7 p.m., during its week-long Sensoria celebration, which is open – and free – to all.

Individuals unable to attend the April 14 event, are invited to visit Harris I, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., to view the exhibition in person. For directions, visit cpcc.edu/locations/harris-campus.

Central Piedmont Overcash Art Gallery presents ‘A Fall From Grace,’ an exhibition beginning Jan. 11

Posted on by

Zaire McPhearson brings “A Fall From GraceNorth Carolina artist Zaire McPhearson brings “A Fall From Grace,’” to Central Piedmont Community College’s Overcash Art Gallery, located on the college’s Central Campus. The  exhibition tells the story of a charismatic movement known as the “Prayer Band,” through the voices of the African American women who experienced it firsthand. This movement evolved from a traditional Christian-based organization, The First Church of God in Christ, but soon the woman leading a noonday prayer meeting reshaped the group and formed her own ministry, calling herself the Queen of the South. She considered herself to be the voice of God and a direct intermediary between God and the women in the “Prayer Band.”

McPhearson’s exhibition gives a voice to the women silenced by mental, physical, and emotional abuse and tells of their long recovery back to their faith. McPhearson, who has a personal relationship with these incredible women, expertly portrays their complex stories through her photography, painting, sculptures, and stained glass works.

Central Piedmont Ross Art Gallery presents ‘Floating Blue’ by Thomas Pickarski, an exhibition beginning Jan. 11, 2022

Posted on by

‘Floating Blue’ by Thomas Pickarski Multi-media visual and performance artist Thomas Pickarski will bring his exhibition to the Central Piedmont Community College Overcash Art Gallery, located on the college’s Central Campus, to take visitors on his journey through the fragile arctic landscape with a series of photographs depicting the eternal beauty of icebergs. Intrigued by the happenstance of abstracted forms in nature, Thomas Pickarski found himself drawn to the sculptural magnificence of icebergs and the otherworldliness of the landscape in which they exist.

Pickarski waited till late in August before making his journey through the arctic ice to better capture the quality of soft light that occurs in the last hours of twilight, known as The Blue Hour. In The Blue Hour, he is able to photograph deep shades of blue that portray the ethereal beauty of icebergs. Students and visitors to the gallery can experience the splendor of these natural sculptures through Pickarski’s expert photography.
