“60 Years Strong – How Deep Our Roots Go,” an exhibition by the Central Piedmont Archives, celebrates Central Piedmont’s rich history and the success of our institution over six decades.
Our college seal inspires the crafted tree and represents our growth into a “mighty tree” of an institution in Mecklenburg County. When viewing the display, you will learn about some of the many examples of educational opportunities championed by our current and past presidents displayed along the bottom of the case, symbolized as the roots. Evidence of these opportunities’ positive impact on student success is represented by the branches and leaves that have grown from these roots.
