Phase III Scene Encouraging
TTI A n#>u/
By MARY DENNIS
“We feel encouraged by the
progress”, stated David
Cleveland, Director of College
Development at Atlantic
Christian, Commenting on
Phase HI of the Fulfillment
Fund Program he continued,
“Currently, $1,446,000 has been
raised toward our goal of
$2,730,000.”
Phase HI, part of a 15-year
college development program,
encompasses financial com
mitments from 1972-1977 for
projected needs. These needs
are broken down into five dif
ferent categories: Learning
Resource Center, New Nursing
Education Building, Property
Acquisitions, Campus Im
provements, and Financial
Obligations.
The Fifteen Year Develop
ment Program was adopted by
the Board of Trustees of the
college in 1962, and was to be
executed in 3 five year stages. In
adopting the program, the Board
of Trustees provided annual
reviews designed to take into
account changing educational
requirements.
Phase I (1962-1967) financed
Hackney Music Building and the
Physical Education Building,
Phase II (1967-1972) provided
Hilley Hall. Case Art Building.
Hamlin Student Center and
cafeteria. Hardy Library
remodeling, and air-
conditioning for summer school,
A new library and nursing
building are 2 of the major
concerns of Phase III A new
library is needed to relieve
congested conditions and ac
commodate an increasing
student body.
New and complete nursing
facilities are necessary for
adequate classrooms and
laboratories. Atlantic Christian
is the only private college in the
coastal plains of North Carolina
offering the baccalaureate
degree in a major of nursing to
both men and women.
Acquisition of property is
necessary if the college is to
increase in size. Several land
gifts have been given for this
purpose.
General co-chairmen of the
fund are Bland Worley and T , J
Hackney, Jr.
