WELDON, N.C. – Halifax Community College (HCC) is proud to announce that Josh Stein, the 50th Attorney General for the State of North Carolina, will be the 2017 commencement speaker. Commencement exercises will take place on Saturday, May 13, at 10 a.m. at The Centre @ HCC.
Stein assumed the office of Attorney General on January 1, 2017. Prior to his election, he served as a member of the NC General Assembly as the senator for District 16 (Wake County). During his tenure, Stein was elected to serve as the minority whip. Before successfully running for a state Senate seat, Stein worked tirelessly for the people of North Carolina. For eight years, he served as the North Carolina Deputy Attorney General for Consumer Protection.
"We are excited and honored that the North Carolina Attorney General has accepted our invitation to provide the keynote address for our fiftieth Commencement ceremony," said Dr. Michael A. Elam, president of HCC. “Those in attendance will benefit significantly from what I believe will be a timely and pertinent message from a top state official addressing current issues."
Stein earned his Juris Doctor degree from the Harvard Law School, as well as a Master of Public Administration from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth University. Stein is married and has three children.
