University of Virginia Library

Beneficial Programs

The Education School has
established several programs to
benefit the college, including
both a teaching and an
administrative internship.
Students planning to teach on
a lower college level will
conduct classes in community
colleges around the state.

Those interested in business
administration will work with
the president or dean of the
College, receiving credit hours
and a chance for a future
position with the school.

The University became
involved in helping Piedmont
College as part of its continued
involvement with public service
to the state. According to
Administrative Presidential
Asst. Raymond C. Bice Jr.
Piedmont College will benefit
the University by "doing what
the University can't–teaching
needed vocational training."

Presidential Asst. Donald W.
Jones says that "Pres. Shannon
sees the need to communicate
with the 23 community
colleges in the state of Virginia."
