The Corning Community College Development Foundation is pleased to announce the unanimous appointment of Dr. Charles Stebbins on September 9, 2009. Dr. Stebbins is a Corning native, graduating from Corning Free Academy in 1959. From 1964-1967, he worked at Corning Community College in Student Services.
