Rappahannock County may soon have a “college” of its own, thanks to the efforts of the newly organized and already successful Rappahannock Education Action Project.
In October, REAP will bring Dr. Ron Ludwick, director of continuing education for Lord Fairfax Community College, to the county for a recruitment meeting. “He has offered to assist in developing a local faculty by expediting their qualifying as adjunct faculty at Lord Fairfax,” reported I)r. Denise Horton, who with educator and artist Laurie Marshall founded REAP. Usually applicants for adjunct faculty status, which requires a master’s degree with at least 18 hours in the individual's specialty, must go to the college in Middletown to be certified; in this case, however, I)r. Ludwick is coming to Rappahannock to do the necessary paperwork. “And once certified, an adjunct faculty member can teach courses here for college credit,” Dr. Horton added.
“Here” will be Rappahannock’s public schools. At REAP’s organizational meeting in July, Superintendent David Gangel offered the use of classrooms and computer labs, plus the resources of Piedmont Vocational and Technical Center and the anticipated satellite dish hook-up at the county high school for the venture into higher education.
