Advisory Board on Aging
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
As a person who is aging I recognize the necessity of recognizing how this process effects
people physically and mentally. I have worked as a geriatric social worker and am a long time
believer in the connection of maintaining physical and mental activities as well as connection to
the larger community to help people age with integrity and dignity. Recently retiring as a high
school teacher, I clearly see the importance of maintaining ties to a larger community to lessen
the isolation created with retirement. I would like the opportunity to bring my ideas to a larger
group in order to be more inclusive of the aging population.

Page 2 of 3 Gerald Ponder
Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I outlined my experience and expertise to a great degree in my response to question 1.
Specifically, though, I believe that I have extensive experience and expertise in
A. data-based decision making through my time on the school board and through my
administrative career.
B. Curriculum policy and instructional practice, including distance education and technology-
based teaching and learning applications as well as research-based and effective instructional
models.
C. Student engagement and success practices that enhance re-enrollment and graduation
rates.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I have both personal and professional knowledge reasons, as well as a commitment to the
mission of community colleges, for wanting to serve. While I have never taught or served as
administrator at a Community College, I had a 42 year career as an educator both at the K-12
and higher education levels in 4 states. In North Carolina, I was department head at UNCG in a
department where I initiated a community college emphasis as a graduate program. A number
of Conmunity College leaders, including Don Cameron, then President of GTCC, served as
advisors for the initiative. I also served as major advisor for several doctoral candidates who
have since become Community College leaders, including Walter Bartlett, President of
Piedmont Community College in Roxboro.
Most recently I served as Associate Dean at NC State in the College of Education,which houses
the Higher Education program and has a long history of preparing community college leaders. I
also taught a course in college teaching for some years, a course which included a number of
Community College teachers.
While in Texas, I served two terms on the Denton, Texas, School Board, so I have experience at
putting the interests of students and the community above personal agendas.
On a personal note, I have a strong belief in the mission of community colleges, and I strongly
support the political directions of President Obama and the Democratic Presidentual candidates
to make Community College tuition-free as a way to build the capacity of young citizens in
commerce, community, and citizenship.
On another personal note, my daughter is the CEO of a Chicago nonprofit called One Million
Degrees (OMD). OMD's mission is to provide scholarship and soft skills development to
community college students in Chicago so they will have a more successful transition to a
corporate career and a middle class lifestyle. In many ways, this mission of providing academic
and workforce training to yield a better family and civic life epitomizes the mission I see for
community colleges.

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 think that each recommendation for improvements has to be tempered with the caveat that
community colleges in North Carolina have been historically underfunded, a situation made
worse by recent budget actions by the legislature. Nevertheless, there are improvements that
13
Page 3 of 3 Gerald Ponder
can be made or can serve as guidelines.
1. Hillsborough and Orange County have a rich heritage and an exceptional group of writers and
artists. DTCC could serve as a venue for continuing education and other community-based
programs that focus on the arts, literature, and history of Hillsborough and Orange County.
There might in the future be opportunities for town/county/DTCC partnership on facilities (theater
space, museum space, etc)and internships (WHUP, history and archaeology, literary or
environmental festivals, etc).
2. The county and its businesses can all benefit from a robust and successful workforce
preparedness program at DTCC. That plan should include supports for student success as well
as a regular and rigorous curriculum review to insure that both the college transfer and
workforce functions of DTCC are current and meeting the needs of the county. I would include
in that review the possibility of offering training and certificates certifying knowledge and skills in
emerging areas such as green energy, new health care fields, and gerontological care.
3. As part of a student success program that benefits students, employers, higher education
and other members of the Orange County community, "transition review teams"that could
include student advocate members from DTCC, school districts, and businesses and higher
education institutions that receive DTCC students could help set policies and practices that help
the transitions into and out of DTCC for incoming and graduating students.
As a disabled person myself, I am particularly interested in insuring that ADA guidelines are in
force for facilities and that genuine opportunities exist for disabled persons to receive and benefit
from a DTCC education.
I will be happy to provide further information or to modify my answers to another format if
requested by the BOCC. Thanks.
Work Experience: 42 years in K-12 and higher education, including HS teacher, university
faculty member, and administrator (most recently dept. head at UNCG and Associate
Dean at NC State).
