The contributions of Liston Ramsey to Western North Carolina are a lasting legacy and model of responsible and caring stewardship. He will be missed but not forgotten.

During our formative years, Southwestern Community College especially benefited from his vision, leadership and personal commitment to make sure the best education possible was available to the citizens of Jackson, Macon and Swain counties and the Qualla Boundary. That commitment resulted in the construction of facilities such as the Allied Health (Balsam Center) Complex and other building and program projects at Southwestern for the past three decades. Much of the success Southwestern presently enjoys is a direct result of Speaker Ramsey’s efforts and vision.

While Speaker Ramsey will be missed, his accomplishments will provide a visible reminder of what dedicated leadership and hard work can provide.

Dr. Cecil Groves.
President,
Southwestern Community College
