11 Page 2 of 2 Jennifer Shelton Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I hold a Master s Degree from UNC Chapel Hill and have been a college instructor for over 15 years. I have worked in the continuing education department at Alamance Community College so am familiar with the community college system. I also teach high school at The Hawbridge School and know the value community colleges add to the local community. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: All of my work experience for the past 25 years has been in education. Education is a passion of mine. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the residents of Orange County? I have lived in Orange County for 22 years and have worked in the field of education the entire time. I spend a great deal of my time in Hillsborough. I frequent businesses and the library. I rarely miss a town festival. I am in Chapel Hill at least once a week. While I am quite familiar with Alamance Community College, the Durham campus of Durham Technical Community College and the local universities, I have minimum knowledge of the Orange County campus of DTCC. I realize the campus was only opened in 2008, but I have not come across information about the Orange County campus of DTCC, other than what I've actively sought out through the website and social media. From what I've found through my research, the college provides many excellent opportunities for both formal and informal education. So, one way that DTCC could better serve the residents of Orange County is to help the residents of Orange County become more aware of the diverse ways in which the campus serves Orange County.
