Aurelia Wallace
“Edgecombe put me on the right path,” says Aurelia Wallace, an Edgecombe Community College graduate and transfer student at North Carolina Wesleyan College.
A collaborative program between Edgecombe Community College and North Carolina Wesleyan College is enabling Aurelia Wallace of Rocky Mount to get a four-year degree without leaving home. She received a two-year associate in arts degree and is now studying elementary education at Wesleyan through the 2+Wesleyan program.
Her transfer was a seamless process, and through 2+Wesleyan the cost of attending Wesleyan is competitive with a state-supported university. “I have a family and couldn't go off to school,” she says. “Edgecombe put me on the right path. I was able to learn and grow in a small, close-knit environment, which benefitted me in every way possible.”
At Edgecombe, Wallace was active in the Student Government Association and BUTTERFLIE, a mentor program for minority female students.
She now tutors part-time at Braswell Elementary School in Rocky Mount.
