THE COLLEGE HISTORY Coastal Carolina Community College evolved out of a need to provide higher education and training to the people of Onslow County, to improve their quality of life, to help them achieve their dreams, and to make this community a better place to live. As early as 1957, the State of North Carolina recognized the need to offer additional post-high school education and training for its residents. By 1962, the General Assembly approved the development of twenty industrial education centers. The next year, the Onslow County Board of Education and the Superintendent of Public Schools, Mr. J. Paul Tyndall, asked the Onslow County Commissioners to purchase forty acres on U.S. Highway 17 to estab¬ lish an industrial education center as a satellite of the Lenoir County Technical Institute. The untiring efforts of Representatives Hugh A. Ragsdale and William D. Mills, and Senator Carl Venters, led to the appropriation from the 1965 General Assembly for a separate institution for Onslow County. The North Carolina State Board of Education approved the Onslow Industrial Education Center on July 1, 1965. The first curriculum classes—Brick Masonry, Welding, Auto Mechanics, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, and Licensed Practical Nursing—were offered during the evening in September 1965. Early on, the rising enrollment at the Industrial Education Center made it clear that the post-secondary education needs in the area were wide and varied. In the fall of 1965, the people of Onslow County voted by referendum 7 for a seven-cents-per-one-hundred-dollars ad valorem tax increase to support the Industrial Education Center. The Board of Trustees, realizing that a techni¬ cal institute could more adequately provide vocational and technical education opportunity for the area, requested that the State Board of Education grant technical institute status to the center. Onslow Industrial Education Center became Onslow Technical Institute on May 4, 1967. Once again, the rapidly increasing educational demands on Onslow Technical Institute encouraged the Board of Trustees to seek new status. Just between the years 1968 and 1969, student enrollment grew from 281 to 1,142. Onslow Technical Institute was granted community college status July 1,1970, and became Coastal Carolina Community College. In 1972, seventy-five acres on Western Boulevard were secured for the new community college. That same year, with the dedication of the Hugh A. Ragsdale Building, the Board of Trustees started to relocate the college to its new campus on Western Boulevard. For several years thereafter, the college operated on a split campus until relocation was completed in 1978. The timing couldn’t have been better, because 1978 was the first year that Coastal’s enrollment exceeded 3,000 students. To fund the 1970 master plan of Coastal, which included ten buildings, a $4 million bond issue was proposed. In November 1974, 58 percent of Onslow County voters approved the bond issue. Ten buildings would be constructed over the next seventeen years. From 1963 to 1988, under the leadership of Dr. James Leroy Henderson, Jr., the Onslow County Industrial Education Center grew from one full-time employee, 325 extension students, and forty acres on an abandoned prison camp to a community college with 200 employees, fifty-seven curricula, 3,385 curriculum students, 3,795 extension students, and a 98-acre main campus, with education units at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River. Dr. Henderson was the first and only president of Coastal until his retire¬ ment on June 30, 1988. His guidance, vision, and extraordinary commitment to the College over a twenty-five year period helped to make the institution what it is today. Because of his steadfast dedication and loyalty to this institu¬ tion for a quarter of a century, the College bestowed on Dr. Henderson the title, President Emeritus. In 1988, Dr. Ronald K. Lingle became the College’s second president. Under Dr. Lingle’s leadership, Coastal re-committed itself to educational excellence through a series of themes—educational quality, student success, investment in technology, promotion of economic development, and commit¬ ment to teamwork and partnerships. Those themes became the benchmark on which the College would measure its value and worth. Under Dr. Lingle’s leadership, Coastal has taken on an even greater role in the economic development of the community, helping to diversify the local labor market and pointing out the county’s best assets, including the commu¬ nity college, to businesses interested in relocating here. His understanding of and belief in partnerships has taken the college’s relationship with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River to new heights, as well as its relationship with the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW). 8
