Margaret Ross .CPCC drumbeater Ros§ To Recruit Minority 7 Students Margaret Ross is confi dent that her 15 /years of experience in human ser vices have prepared her I well to become CPCC's first recruiter of minority students. A Charlotte native, she's j worked for the Westchester 1 County, N Y Department of Social Services, the Cit^ of Charlotte’s ' Em plo^ient and Trainiag Of fice;-GPCG’s High SchooA Completion Program, and the project CPCC operates with the Charlotte'-Meck lenburg Schools to encour age drop-outs to complete high school. Now she's ready to visit meetings of predominantly black groups and'college recruiting days at high schools to let folks know about opportunities at CPCC. While my emphasis is on blacks, I’m ready to help any student interest ed in attending college here,” says Margaret, who began her new job May 3. “I’ll be recruiting stu dents to all programs but concentrating on college transfer (liberal arts)1, nursing, allied health (re spiratory and physical the rapy), and sich technical areas as engineering and computer science,” M^f garet says. “In all instanc es, I’m seeking the highly motivated? person looking for a challenging and re warding fcareer.” . Margaret says CPCC’s open door admissions po licy, affordable tuition and quality education pro vide her with major sell ing points. “Many people don’t realize that we take a stu dent on whatever academic level he is functioning and helj^khim continue through the highest levels of edu cation,” she says. ’"I really feel great when I cah watch a person grow anti feel I played a small part in it.” School Of .

Unfortun ately for others survival is more difficult and special attention is required. It is those children who are placed under the juris ,diction of the Department of Social Services. What most of them need is a home, but more than a home they need a place that is filled with love and care One of the major goals that the Department of Social Services has for its Foster Care Program is to place its wards in perma ment homes, not tem porary shelters. What contributes largely to the need for child wel fare services include out of wedlock births, teenage pa rents, divorce, single pa rent families and unem ployment. “According to the 1980 census data 12 percent of the babies born in 1979 and 1980 in Mecklenburg County were born out of wedlock; 7.5 percent of the 5,856 births were to mothers 17 years of age and younger; in 1980 di vorces outnumbered mar riages 2,937 to 2,714; the number of children living in single parent families has increased dramatically over the past decade (39 percent) and Mecklenburg County’s unemployment rate rose from 4.3 percent to 6 6. percent last year " Such statistics prove the necessity of child welfare services which involve a coalition of public and vo luntary agencies engaged in helping families to pre vent, ameliorate, and re medy social problems related to the functioning of the family include services as counseling, foster care, adoption, institutional care, day care, homemak er services, protective ser vices and supportive services.
