Welcome to the McKimmon Center
for Extension and Continuing Education
The McKimmon Center for Extension and Continuing Education (MCE&CE) serves as a gateway to the vast intellectual and technical resources at NC State University. Established in 1924 as the College Extension Division, MCE&CE has continually evolved to meet the educational needs of individuals, organizations, governmental agencies, and corporations. For more than 84 years, MCE&CE has proudly carried on the tradition of public service first established by Jane S. McKimmon, a pioneer in the field of continuing education.
Today, MCE&CE is a center in the truest definition of the word -- a hub of activity encompassing a wide array of learning opportunities, professional meeting facilities and University services. We have continued to serve over 160,000 participants per year since the McKimmon Conference and Training Center opened in 1976. In addition, we serve the continuing education needs of over 19,000 participants on an annual basis. The MCE&CE staff remains dedicated to sharing the University's knowledge, resources, and providing excellent customer service. Through our partnerships, creative programming, dynamic member opportunities, and a comprehensive range of applied research and technical assistance, you will find the solutions to your continuing education, professional development, meeting facility and public policy needs.
On behalf of MCE&CE, I am delighted you have chosen to visit our website. Please take a few minutes to review each of the six units within MCE&CE. We welcome the opportunity to discuss our programs and services while being of assistance to you.
Respectfully,
Alice S. Warren
