Employee of the Week

Rose Webster

Department Head of Academic Advising

Contact Info: 336-506-4343 Office Main 359 Email

Hello! My name is Rose Webster. I started working full-time at ACC in the math department in 2017 and I am now the Department Head of Academic Advising.

Alamance Community College has received the highly competitive Title III Strengthening Institutions Program $2.1 million federal grant from the Department of Education. Applicants for this grant were nationwide, and out of a large pool of community colleges and universities, ACC was one of the few recipients in the US. Data shows that excellent academic advising is a key component in helping students stay on track to reach their academic and career goals. Earlier this week, ACC was awarded the Strengthening Institutions Program (SIP) grant for our upcoming new program: Persistence from Application to Completion in Education (PACE). This grant will be used to fund full-time success coaches that will be embedded within each division to work together with advisors to increase student success across the college! Rose was crucial in securing this grant for ACC! Way to go Rose!
