Former Gov. Bob Scott, who has been in failing health, was honored this week.
The Alamance Community College trustees voted to name their Graham campus after Scott and his aunt Elizabeth Scott Carrington, Rob Christensen reports.
The two of them donated their farm land to build the community college, located just off Interstate 40, west of the Triangle.
The school will still be known as Alamance Community College, but signs will be erected calling it the Carrington-Scott Campus.
"It's our way of recognizing the contributions of the Scott family," said Vicki Wilson, the school’s spokeswoman.
Scott is not only a former governor but he is also a former president of the state community college system. The Alamance campus also houses the Scott family papers.
