RCC renames Welcome Center after longtime supporter Ann Hoover
ASHEBORO (Nov. 16, 2018) — Randolph Community College’s Welcome Center was renamed the Ann Hoover Welcome Center in honor of RCC Foundation board member and longtime college supporter Ann Hoover in a ceremony Friday afternoon on the Asheboro Campus.
As the presentation was a surprise to the honoree, the banner covering up the new name was unveiled before RCC president Dr. Robert Shackleford spoke.
“When Bill (Hoover) first came to me to talk about this, he came with love in his heart and said, ‘I want to do something special for Ann. I know how much she loves the college,’ ” RCC president Dr. Robert Shackleford Jr. said. “When I showed Bill the idea, I brought him out of my office and it was Fall Fling. There was all this activity, people going in and out of this door. I said, ‘Bill, what do you see?’ He said, ‘I see a lot of students and I see the Welcome Center.’ I said, ‘That’s not what I see. I see the Ann Hoover Welcome Center.’ And tears started flowing and he said, ‘I see it, too.’
“We were both so excited with the idea of putting Ann’s name on such an important part of our campus. Every student who comes to start school here at RCC has to come to this building. Student Services — including registration, records, financial aid, student activities, and even the student lounge — are all right here in this building. This is the gateway to the college for our students. We could not think of a better person to be the gateway, with outstretched arms, than Ann Hoover.”
Ann Hoover has been on the Foundation Board of Directors since 2008. While on the Board, she has served as president (2013-15), vice president, co-chair of Dancing with the Randolph Stars committee, and a member of the membership and investment committees. She was a member of the Boa
