For Jessica Smith, success hasn鈥檛 come from a straight line鈥攊t鈥檚 come from perseverance, patience, and a refusal to give up.

This spring, Smith鈥攁n LPN-to-RN Bridge student finishing up at 宅男福利社鈥攚as named the college鈥檚 Academic Excellence Award winner, a recognition that honors not just academic achievement, but determination and purpose. For Smith, the award represents something deeply personal.

鈥淚t鈥檚 validation that all the hard work I鈥檝e put in is seen,鈥 she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 another check mark鈥攍ike, okay, I graduated. I did this.鈥

A Long Road, Driven by Purpose

Smith鈥檚 journey at RCC began in 2008, when she first enrolled without a clear direction but with a strong desire to build a better future. Over the next 15 years, she would step in and out of the classroom鈥攂alancing work, family responsibilities, and life鈥檚 unpredictable challenges.

At times, those challenges forced her to pause her education. She recalls having to leave a program due to family health issues, including caring for her grandparents. But each time, she found her way back.

鈥淚t鈥檚 just one of those things鈥攚e did what we had to do, and I came back and applied again,鈥 she said.

Faculty who have worked closely with Smith say her persistence is what sets her apart. Despite setbacks, she has consistently returned to RCC 鈥渨ith renewed determination and a stronger sense of purpose,鈥 building a career step by step.

Smith鈥檚 path into healthcare started with a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) credential, followed by RCC鈥檚 Surgical Technology program, which she completed in 2018. Since then, she has worked as a surgical technologist and currently serves in labor and delivery鈥攁 role she describes as meaningful and fulfilling.

鈥淚 like what I do, but there鈥檚 always more,鈥 Smith said.

That desire to grow led her back once again鈥攖his time to pursue nursing. She enrolled in the LPN-to-RN Bridge program, and maintained a 3.67 GPA while balancing full-time work and personal responsibilities.

For her, nursing represents expanded opportunities to serve.

鈥淭here are different ways you can help people鈥攚hether it鈥檚 community-based, in the hospital, or in the OR,鈥 she said. 鈥淭here鈥檚 just so much you can do with it.鈥

Finding Strength in Support

Throughout her journey, Smith credits RCC鈥檚 faculty and staff with helping her stay on course. From early guidance in career exploration to hands-on instruction in nursing, those connections made a difference.

鈥淭hey鈥檙e very good about explaining things,鈥 she said of her instructors. 鈥淵ou鈥檝e got people you can go to鈥攚hether it鈥檚 a clinical issue or something you just don鈥檛 understand.鈥

She also appreciates the college鈥檚 close-knit community.

鈥淵ou鈥檙e a face鈥攜ou鈥檙e not just a number,鈥 Smith said. 鈥淵ou can get more one-on-one support here. I like the small-town feel.鈥

That supportive environment helped her rebuild confidence and continue pursuing her goals鈥攕omething her nominator says has been key to her success.

Juggling coursework, work, and family life is no easy task, but Smith has developed strategies to stay focused. She sets weekly schedules, breaks study time into manageable segments, and builds in small resets to stay productive.

鈥淵ou have to make sure you can prioritize everything,鈥 she said.

Her approach reflects not only discipline, but self-awareness鈥攆inding what works and sticking with it.

Smith graduated May 15, but she doesn鈥檛 see this milestone as the end of her journey. If anything, it鈥檚 another beginning.

鈥淓very time I say I鈥檓 done, I come back,鈥 she said with a smile. 鈥淚鈥檒l definitely get my bachelor鈥檚鈥 and then we鈥檒l see what happens.鈥

Her long-term goal remains rooted in service: making a difference in the lives of others through healthcare, one patient at a time.

If there鈥檚 one lesson Smith hopes others take from her story, it鈥檚 this: keep trying.

鈥淚t hurts you none to try,鈥 she said. 鈥淵ou may surprise yourself. And if you fail at one thing, it may lead you to something else.鈥

It鈥檚 advice she has lived鈥攖hrough every challenge, every pause, and every return to the classroom.

Laura Palmer鈥檚 journey at 宅男福利社 has been defined by perseverance, compassion and purpose 鈥 qualities that earned her the college鈥檚 highest academic honor during the May 15 graduation ceremony.

Palmer was named 宅男福利社鈥檚 Outstanding Student of the Year, an award presented annually to recognize exceptional achievement and character among the college鈥檚 graduates.

鈥淟aura鈥檚 story is not just about where she is headed professionally, but the strength, resilience and purpose she has carried every step of the way,鈥 said Kaytlin Raines, a member of RCC鈥檚 nursing faculty, who presented the award.

Palmer began her journey at RCC in the fall of 2023, entering the Nursing pathway by completing prerequisite coursework. She has now graduated with an Associate Degree in Nursing and is already stepping into her career.

Outstanding Student of the Year Laura Palmer speaks at a podium during the graduation ceremony.
Rockingham Community College Nursing Faculty Kaytlin Raines steps aside after announcing at graduation that Laura Palmer was named RCC鈥檚 Outstanding Student of the Year. A complete surprise to Palmer, she gave a brief thank you from stage.

She has accepted a direct-hire position in a women鈥檚 and children鈥檚 mother-baby unit, where she previously worked as a certified nursing assistant, positioning her to continue caring for families during some of life鈥檚 most important moments.

Throughout her time at RCC, Palmer balanced the demands of a rigorous academic program with work and family life, raising her sons while managing a challenging schedule. Faculty say she never allowed those responsibilities to limit her success.

鈥淚nstead, she met them with determination, humility and an unwavering commitment to her goal of becoming a nurse,鈥 Raines said.

In addition to completing her degree, Palmer is working toward becoming an international board-certified lactation consultant, reflecting her commitment to supporting mothers and newborns with specialized care.

Faculty describe Palmer as dependable, compassionate and intentional 鈥 a student who consistently went beyond expectations not for recognition, but because of her character. She earned the respect of her peers and the trust of her instructors while making a meaningful impact on patients during her training.

Palmer credits her faith as a foundation that helped guide her through challenges and keep her focused on her calling.

Looking ahead, she plans to continue her education by pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and hopes one day to return to RCC as a clinical instructor, helping to train the next generation of nurses.

鈥淭hat desire to give back reflects a full-circle commitment to the profession,鈥 Raines said.

During a brief and humble acceptance, Palmer admitted she had not prepared remarks, as she did not expect to receive the award. Instead, she expressed gratitude to those who supported her along the way.

鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 have done it without my friends鈥 and I couldn鈥檛 have done it without God,鈥 she said.

For RCC faculty, Palmer鈥檚 recognition represents more than academic excellence 鈥 it reflects her dedication, leadership and compassion.

鈥淵ou did it. You did it well, and we saw it,鈥 Raines said during the ceremony. 鈥淲e saw the late nights, the early mornings, the sacrifices and the perseverance when things were not easy.鈥

As she begins her nursing career, college leaders say Palmer鈥檚 impact will extend far beyond the classroom.

Her journey, they say, is a powerful example of resilience 鈥 steady, consistent and deeply meaningful 鈥 and a reminder of the life-changing role nurses play in their communities.

For those inspired by Palmer鈥檚 journey, RCC provides pathways to begin or advance a career in nursing and other in-demand fields, visit /programs/programs-of-study/ to learn more.

The Moore Family’s Legacy of Education /the-moore-familys-legacy-of-education/ Thu, 04 Jun 2026 19:51:46 +0000 /?p=33690 What began as a $25,000 gift is now a $1 million Walter H. and Marilyn Moore Endowed Promise Scholarship for local graduating high school students to attend RCC for free.

A $25,000 gift grows into $1 million of free RCC tuition

Across Rockingham County, countless lives will be touched by the Moore family鈥檚 enduring generosity 鈥 a commitment that began 25 years ago when Marilyn Moore first established a 宅男福利社 scholarship in memory of her husband, Walter.

What began as a $25,000 gift is now a $1 million Walter H. and Marilyn Moore Endowed Promise Scholarship for graduating high school students in Rockingham County to attend 宅男福利社 for free.

Adults hold up a giant $1 million check.
RCC Foundation Executive Director Paul Farrar, RCC President Dr. Sylvia Cox, accept a $1 million check from Chip, Bill and Bob Moore, to establish in their parents’ memory, the Walter H. and Marilyn Moore Promise Scholarship. Rockingham County residents with a 2.0 GPA are eligible for free tuition at RCC through this scholarship.

Now, as the family鈥檚 charitable remainder trust reaches its 10-year distribution point, brothers Chip, Bill and Bob Moore have chosen to honor their parents by expanding that original act of generosity into something far larger than originally envisioned.

The scholarship is open to any Rockingham County resident who meets the minimum GPA requirement of 2.0, a change the brothers feel will open doors for students who may believe college is out of reach. As Bill explained, many students with lower high-school GPAs assume college isn鈥檛 an option 鈥 but this scholarship gives them a real chance.

This new iteration marks an expansion of the original scholarship, which required students to be Reidsville residents with a higher GPA. Students graduating high school in 2027 may now enroll at RCC full- or part-time and pursue an associate degree, diploma, certificate, or short-term workforce credential.

Logo for Walter & Marilyn Moore Promise Scholarship at 宅男福利社.

A promise scholarship is a last-dollar award, which means students will first receive federal or state financial aid as well as RCC Foundation scholarships, and then the promise scholarship kicks in to cover remaining costs except for books and course-specific fees. A promise scholarship is open to students graduating from high school and enrolling at RCC to start fall classes just a few months later.

The gift isn鈥檛 just about access鈥攊t鈥檚 about persistence. Scholarship recipients will be expected to keep their grades up once enrolled, ensuring they remain focused and supported throughout their RCC journey.

鈥淲e hope the opportunities education provided our parents will now provide opportunities for RCC students,鈥 Bill said.

As part of the trust鈥檚 distribution, an additional $1 million will be directed to the Free Clinic of Rockingham County to provide dental care 鈥 another tribute to their father鈥檚 lifelong profession.

Only after understanding the impact of the gift itself does the full story of why it exists come into focus.

The Donors

When Walter and Marilyn Moore began their lives together in Reidsville, long before their sons were born, they could hardly have imagined the enduring legacy their family would leave for Rockingham County students.

They met as students in Reidsville City Schools and began dating in high school, where Walter played in three straight football championships and Marilyn was a cheerleader and valedictorian of her class. Both would go on to become educators themselves. Between college and dental school, Walter taught biology at Wentworth Elementary, while Marilyn taught French at Reidsville Senior High. Education wasn鈥檛 simply a value in their household 鈥 it was a way of life and a pathway to opportunity.

Portrait of a married couple.
Walter H. and Marilyn Moore

While Walter attended UNC-Chapel Hill and the UNC-Chapel Hill Dental School, Marilyn, a graduate of the Woman鈥檚 College (now UNC-Greensboro), worked as a secretary to a dean in the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Medicine.

After dental school, Walter joined the Air Force so he could support his young family while gaining experience before opening his practice. The Moores raised their family in Reidsville and dedicated their lives to giving back to the community that shaped them.

Walter and Marilyn were charter members of Woodmont United Methodist Church.

Walter served as president of the Reidsville Jaycees, Reidsville United Way, and Reidsville Rotary, where he was a Paul Harris Fellow. He was chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Rockingham County Library, and served on the Board of Directors of the Annie Penn Hospital Foundation, UNC-Chapel Hill Education Foundation, and Mutual Savings and Loan, and on the Advisory Board of BB&T. He was a member of the Board of Visitors of the Lineberger Cancer Research Center.

Marilyn was awarded the UNC-G Distinguished Alumni Award and was a member of the Excellence Foundation. She was president of the Woodmont UMC Women of the Church, the Reidsville Jr. Service League, and the Down To Earth Garden Club. She served on the board of the Lineberger Cancer Foundation, and was a member of the N.C. Historical Book Club.

At Main Street Methodist Church in Reidsville in the early 1940s, Marilyn Moore (in the hat) and Walter Moore (in the white shirt) work on crafts with other children. The pair began dating later at Reidsville High School, where he played in three straight high school football championship games and she was a cheerleader. The couple would eventually marry and leave a legacy of $1 million to 宅男福利社 for scholarships.

Over the next decade, Marilyn Moore continued to steward their charitable remainder trust, and after her passing in 2016, Chip and Bill took on the responsibility of managing the fund. With careful attention, the trust grew significantly 鈥 far beyond what their parents could have imagined.

Following Marilyn鈥檚 passing in 2016, Chip and Bill Moore continued stewarding the trust. With thoughtful management, it grew far beyond what their parents could have imagined 鈥 culminating in today鈥檚 transformational commitment.

While the Moore brothers are modest about their role, they are determined that every eligible student knows help is available. In their parents, they saw humility, hard work, and a quiet commitment to doing things 鈥渢he way you’re supposed to do them.鈥 They remember their father鈥檚 sayings, especially one Chip believes every young person should hear: 鈥淪pend less than you earn.鈥

From those simple, grounding values, the Moore family crafted a legacy that will shape Rockingham County for generations 鈥 a scholarship born from grief, built on gratitude, and expanded through love and stewardship will now open doors for countless students 鈥 just as Walter and Marilyn Moore would have wanted.

To apply for the scholarship, contact RCC’s Financial Aid team at 336-342-4261 ext. 2203 or RCCFinancial_Aid@rockinghamcc.edu.

If you’re interested in establishing a scholarship at 宅男福利社, contact RCC Foundation Executive Director Paul Farrar at 336-342-4261 ext. 2201 or farrarp2869@rockinghamcc.edu.

Flexibility That Makes College Possible /flexibility-that-makes-college-possible/ Thu, 30 Apr 2026 20:01:44 +0000 /?p=33518 The quarter-cent sales tax has added flexibility to some RCC classes, so students can attend in person, live online, or later when their schedules allow.

Quarter-cent sales tax funds technology for classrooms that meet the needs of students
Quarter-cent sales tax for RCC logo

For Allegra Simpson, flexibility isn鈥檛 just a convenience 鈥 it鈥檚 what makes college possible.

And the quarter-cent sales tax passed by Rockingham County voters in 2018 is what has made flexible college classes possible.

At 27, Simpson is a full-time employee, a single mother to a three-year-old daughter, and a Criminal Justice student at 宅男福利社. She dropped out of school in 11th grade, and after earning her GED at RCC, she decided to keep moving forward, even though she wasn鈥檛 sure how traditional college classes would fit into her already full life.

A mother and toddler smile, sitting at a table in a restaurant.
Allegra Simpson says the flexibility of classes at 宅男福利社 enables her to take classes and still be at home taking care of her young daughter.

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 know what college was going to look like,鈥 Simpson said. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 know if I鈥檇 have to be in a classroom all day, every day. With working full time and raising my daughter, I didn鈥檛 think that was something I could realistically do.鈥

That changed when she learned about HyFlex courses 鈥 classes designed to let students attend in person, join live online, or watch later on their own time. Simpson enrolled in a Criminology course taught by Valerie Bowers, program coordinator and faculty member for RCC鈥檚 Criminal Justice program.

HyFlex courses were made available through the creation of Zoom Rooms, with technology added to classrooms that allows students in the room and students online to participate together in real time.

Three classrooms were upgraded with this equipment 鈥 one in the Advanced Technologies building, and two in the Jerry Owens Health Sciences building.

The overall project cost about $115,000, which was covered by revenue from a quarter-cent sales tax that benefits 宅男福利社 鈥 and is just one of many projects on campus that have increased the capabilities of students to learn and instructors to teach. This particular project helps students learn even if they cannot attend class on campus in person.

鈥淎s I鈥檓 teaching live with students in the classroom, I also have students online who are interacting with us at the same time,鈥 Bowers explained. 鈥淚f students are working and can鈥檛 attend live, they can go back later and participate that way, too. It really helps students who have different careers and responsibilities but still want that live back-and-forth conversation.鈥

For Simpson, that flexibility has been essential. Some days she logs in live and follows along from home. Other days, when work is busy or her daughter needs more attention, she watches the class later 鈥 often late at night or early in the morning while her daughter is sleeping.

鈥淪ometimes it鈥檚 2 or 3 in the morning when I finally have time,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 can pause, rewind, and really understand what I missed. I like that I don鈥檛 have to choose between being a parent, keeping my job, and staying in school.鈥

Even when she鈥檚 not physically in the classroom, Simpson says the experience still feels personal. Bowers regularly calls on online students, incorporates them into discussions, and uses shared virtual whiteboards so students can participate regardless of how they鈥檙e attending.

An instructor teaches a classroom of students, with notes being projected on a whiteboard, and cameras on the ceiling that enable her to be connected with students at home.
RCC Faculty and Program Coordinator Valerie Bowers teaches a Criminal Justice class in a HyFlex classroom, which enables students to attend in person, watch live and participate from home, or watch a recording at a later time.

鈥淲e鈥檙e all doing the same activities,鈥 Bowers said. 鈥淪tudents in the classroom and students online are engaging in the same discussions, using the same tools, and contributing together. They鈥檙e getting the information in multiple modalities, but they鈥檙e still having similar learning experiences.鈥

That sense of inclusion stands out to Simpson. 鈥淪he makes sure I鈥檓 involved,鈥 she said. 鈥淪he鈥檒l call on me, talk about me being there, and it really makes me feel like I鈥檓 part of the class, not just watching from the outside.鈥

The HyFlex format also means students who would otherwise have to miss class don鈥檛 fall behind. Simpson has seen classmates log in when they were sick, had work conflicts, or had obligations at another school.

鈥淚t鈥檚 really cool to see people still able to show up,鈥 she said. 鈥淓ven when life happens, you don鈥檛 have to completely miss out.鈥

Simpson works from home for CVS Specialty Pharmacy and was recently promoted to an auditing position. Because of her workload and family responsibilities, she takes two classes per semester instead of a traditional full-time course load 鈥 a pace she says is sustainable and realistic.

鈥淚t might take me longer to graduate, but that鈥檚 okay. What matters is that I can keep going,鈥 she said.

For Simpson, continuing her education is about building stability and a future for her daughter.

鈥淚 honestly don鈥檛 know how this would work for me without this option,鈥 she said of the HyFlex technology.

宅男福利社 is offering a range of summer learning opportunities designed to strengthen academic skills and expose students to future career pathways, with programs available for students from rising seventh grade through high school.

This summer, the college will host two math-focused camps for middle school and early high school students, along with three no-cost Career Launch pathways for high school students that combine hands-on learning with college credit and career exploration.

Summer Math Camps for Rising 7th鈥9th Graders

RCC鈥檚 Summer Math Camps are open to students entering seventh, eighth, and ninth grades and are designed to help participants build confidence in mathematics while exploring real-world applications in science, technology, engineering, and math-related fields. They will be held Mondays-Thursdays from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. in RCC’s Science Building, Room 103B. The cost is $75, and students should bring a packed lunch each day.

Math Camp: Trigonometry and Functions Exploration will be held June 15鈥25. Students will study trigonometric functions, strengthen problem-solving skills, and learn how math concepts connect to real-world applications. The camp also provides early exposure to STEM-related fields.

The second offering, Math Camp: Statistical Methods and Data Exploration, will take place July 6鈥16. This camp focuses on statistical thinking, using real-world datasets, and applying technology to create charts, tables, and data summaries. Students will engage with college-level material while learning how data analysis is used in everyday decision-making.

Both math camps are designed for students ages 13 and older and emphasize hands-on activities and practical learning experiences.

宅男福利社 Career Launch Summer 2026 program for high school students in the graduating classes of 2026, 2027, and 2028. The program offers free tuition and free college and high school credit through a hands鈥憃n, engaging summer college experience designed to help students explore real career pathways. Program dates are June 15 through July 21, with no camp held July 1 through July 5. Students select one pathway: Early Childhood Education, Welding, or Fine Arts. Early Childhood Education is available to students from McMichael High School, Morehead High School, and Early College. Welding and Fine Arts are available to students from Reidsville and Rockingham County High Schools, and to Bethany Community Baptist and homeschooled students. The flyer includes a deadline to connect and apply by May 18 and provides registration information.

Career Launch: No-Cost Summer Programs for High School Students

In addition to the math camps, RCC is offering Career Launch, a free summer program for high school students graduating in 2026, 2027, or 2028. Career Launch provides immersive, career-focused experiences that allow students to earn high school and college credit while exploring high-demand career fields.

Students will engage in real鈥憌orld, skills鈥慴ased learning aligned with local workforce needs. Each pathway offers practical experience that connects classroom learning to future careers.

Students learn in small cohorts taught by RCC faculty alongside a Career & Technical Education (CTE) high school teacher, gaining academic confidence, college readiness skills, and familiarity with campus life.

Career Launch runs from June 15 through July 21, with no camp scheduled July 1. Students attend camp on campus Mondays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with lunch provided at no cost.

Students may apply to one of three academic pathways:

  • Early Childhood Education, which includes coursework in early childhood education and 60 hours of job shadowing, allowing students to earn college credit, one high school credit, and internship hours.
  • Welding, where students take a gas metal arc welding course aligned with workforce needs and earn both high school and college credit.
  • Fine Arts 鈥 Visual Arts, which offers instruction in drawing and foundational visual arts skills, with students earning high school and college credit.

All Career Launch program costs 鈥 including tuition, textbooks, materials, and fees 鈥 are covered, removing financial barriers for students and families. Participants who successfully complete the program may also be eligible for a stipend.

Building Skills and Career Awareness

Together, the math camps and Career Launch programs reflect RCC鈥檚 broader commitment to preparing students for academic success and future careers by offering early exposure to college-level learning and workforce pathways. Families are encourage to register early, as space is limited.
