CCC&TI Watauga Campus has a new Executive Director

For the first time in more than 10 years, Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute’s Watauga Campus has a new executive director. For employees, students and the community, the new director is a familiar face with a desire for growth and to connect the campus to the community it serves.

Ronald Holste began his new role on Jan. 3, following the retirement of the former director, Steve Melton. Prior to his new role, Holste taught psychology and political science at CCC&TI. “I love teaching, but I miss being out in the community,” he said. “When I heard Steve was retiring, I thought this would be a great opportunity to get back into the community, while still being on campus.”
