Robeson Community College recently announced that Ramah “Cassidy” Campbell, a native of Clarkton, was named the Dean of Public Service and Applied Technology.

“I am excited and I am looking forward to working with all the faculty and staff at RCC,” Campbell said in a press release. “There is a lot of potential growth in this area and there are many opportunities for expansion through our online offerings and regional partnerships.”

In her new role, Campbell will oversee all law enforcement programs including Basic Law Enforcement Training and the criminal justice degree; emergency medical services which includes EMT, AEMT, Paramedic and EMS degree programs; the Industrial Technologies division which encompasses welding, air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration, mechatronics, industrial systems; Cosmetology; and the Funeral Services program partnership with Fayetteville Technical Community College.

“Really all the public service programs are growing,” said Campbell in a press release. “There is a high demand for trades and I am excited to facilitate the growth of these programs and bring new ideas to the college.”

Prior to being named an academic dean, she served as the director of customized training and construction development for the college.

“I was grateful for the opportunity to come to RCC and make a difference,” Campbell said in a press release. “I never thought that one day I would become a dean, but I love the chance to take on new responsibilities and make even more of an impact for students.”

Campbell holds an associate of applied science in criminal justice, a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Fayetteville State University, and a masters of business administration from Mount Olive University.

In addition to serving as dean, she also teaches at RCC.

“We have a great group here, an excellent President and a VP that is supportive and encouraging, my co-workers are wonderful,” said Campbell in a press release. “I hope I am here until I retire.”
