In February 2023, Craven Community College renamed its student center to honor its longest-serving advisor, David Ward.
The building dedication ceremony was recently highlighted in the fall edition of Craven Community College Magazine. In an article, titled "Building for Tomorrow," the magazine recognized Ward's 51 years of service and leadership. From the article:
"Ward was a principal advisor to the Board of Trustees during the selection process for all five college presidents and was a trusted confidant and mentor to each of them during their respective tenures. All students and visitors will now see his influence as they enter the building to visit the coffee shop, Campus Life, student lounge, and event space."
