Past Events
Bright Ideas Oral History Presentations
The Catawba Valley Community College Campus Library recently facilitated a collaboration between the CVCC LPN-to RN Bridge Nursing Program and the Adult Basic Education Academy located at the Alexander Center to record interviews with the ABE students and someone special in their lives. This collaboration was made possible by a North Carolina Bright Ideas Grant, a program of the State Library of North Carolina. Taking inspiration from CVCC’s 2022-2023 Red Hawk Read, Callings by Dave Isay, these interviews will be digitally preserved and included in the CVCC’s Library Digital Archive Collection of Oral Histories.
