About Dr. Stephen Scott
On Oct. 15, 2003, Wake Technical Community College welcomed the third president in the college’s 50-year history: Dr. Stephen Scott. His personal focus at Wake Tech is on value-added education and on leadership development for faculty, staff, and students. With a career spanning more than 40 years, Dr. Scott began his career in South Carolina, teaching high school mathematics and physics. He served in several administrative positions for community colleges in South Carolina before moving to North Carolina in 1988.

Under Dr. Scott’s leadership, Wake Tech became the largest of North Carolina’s 58 community colleges. In 2007, the college opened its Northern Wake Campus as the first campus in the nation to be completely LEED® certified by the U.S. Green Building Council, and three years later purchased land in Morrisville for its future RTP Campus. In 2012, voters passed a $200 million bond referendum to enable Wake Tech to build new classrooms to meet the growing demand for higher education and training in Wake County. In 2013, Wake Tech was named the fastest-growing large community college in the U.S. by Community College Week.

Dr. Scott’s focus at Wake Tech is on continuous improvement through a process he developed called “Applied Benchmarking.” All employees are required to seek ideas for improvements by benchmarking other institutions and applying what they have learned at Wake Tech.
