On April 25, 2013 CEF held an event with two distinguished scholars from the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching who shared their unique perspectives of the ordinary and extraordinary experiences of people in these two regions of our state.

Dr. Terry Roberts of Asheville, Director of UNC’s National Paideia Center, whose ancestry in the mountains dates back to the Revolutionary War, presented The Collision of Cultures that Defines Western NC, based on his 2012 novel A Short Time To Stay Here.

Alton Ballance, a NCCAT Center Fellow and author from Ocracoke whose family has lived there since the 1700s, presented “Sea, Sand, and Human Hands: The Changing Face of the Outer Banks.”

Proceeds supported the Chatham Education Foundation’s programs to help Chatham public school students and teachers become life-long learners as well!
