Davidson County Community College: The First Forty Years, 1963 - 2003 recounts the history of DCCC from its modest beginnings to its position today as one of the most successful and respected community colleges in the State of North Carolina . DCCC has been in the business of changing lives for the better since it opened its doors in 1963 as the Davidson County Industrial Education Center (IEC). Written by J. Ronald Oakley, a history instructor at DCCC for thirty-seven years (1966 - 2003), this history traces the four-decade saga of its origins as the IEC, its transition into a comprehensive community college in 1965, and its phenomenal growth in both size and its importance to the community it continues to serve.
