Creating an Edge for 45 Years is the story of Edgecombe Community College, in North Carolina, and the people who have been and continue to be a part of its history. Opening in 1968 in an abandoned prison building, ECC has grown to a two-campus college of over 120 acres. Through narrative, personal reminiscences of its former and current presidents, administrators, instructors, students and community leaders, the history of ECC unfolds in this beautiful commemorative anniversary book. More than 100 photographs reveal the astonishingly rapid growth of the college and help tell the story of its success.
