An innovative partnership between Ģ����ý and Catawba Valley Community College will allow CVCC students to live on Ģ����ý campus this fall and participate in student life at a four-year college while also taking classes at CVCC.  

The program is designed to expose CVCC students to life at a four-year college and prepare them for the transition. All students in the program will enroll in a one-credit class at Ģ����ý that will meet once a month and discuss transitioning to a four-year college and financial aid opportunities, among other topics. The CVCC students will have access to all Ģ����ý resources, including sporting events, counseling and health services, and student activities. Dining plans also will be available.  

�This collaboration results from the strong relationship Ģ����ý and CVCC enjoy and is a win-win,� said Dr. Fred Whitt, Ģ����ý. �CVCC students will be able to explore all that Ģ����ý has to offer, and we can help ease the transition for those students who want to pursue a bachelor degree after they finish at CVCC.�  

The program began as the result of conversations between Leah Beth Hubbard, special assistant for strategic initiatives at Ģ����ý, and Nick Schroder, executive director of student life at CVCC. A pilot group of about six CVCC students lived on the Ģ����ý campus during the 2021-22 academic year. The goal is to have 25 students for the 2022-23 year.  

�This partnership represents how educational institutions can work together to solve critical issues for our students in the region,� said CVCC President Dr. Garrett Hinshaw. �We are excited to partner with Ģ����ý to provide access to student housing and student success.�
