McKimmon Center for Extension & Continuing Education Award of Excellence for Customized Corporate Education

The McKimmon Center for Extension & Continuing Education (MCE & CE) Award of Excellence recognizes an organization's commitment to corporate delivery of employee education for continuing education and professional development.

The award recognizes the eighty-five year history of NC State University in extension and continuing education and the leadership and dedication to the land grant mission of NC State University. MCE&CE has continually evolved to meet the educational needs of individuals, organizations, governmental agencies, and corporations. 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.

As a result of these efforts locally, regionally and nationally, the role and value of continuing higher education was elevated, leading to the creation and adoption of the internationally accepted Continuing Education Unit (CEU) as a universal quality standard.
