I work for the college and want to suggest some changes for accuracy purposes. Dr. Jack M. Lewis is no longer the current president of NRCC. He retired earlier this year.
The college's current president is Dr. Patricia B. Huber, who has served in that capacity since July 2017. Huber has been a part of NRCC since 1988, having served as adjunct instructor, assistant professor, assistant division chair, dean, and vice president for instruction and student services.
The map shows that the college is located in the Shenandoah Valley, but the college is located in the New River Valley. The address of the college is 5251 College Drive, Dublin, VA 24084.
The academic staff is 140 (50 full-time, 90 part-time)
Undergraduate enrollment is approximately 4,500 students.

Request edit on 29 June 2018 edit
 | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Replace "Shenandoah Valley" with "New River Valley" in the location/map section.
An edit was declined on 20 Dec 2017 to change the name of the location of the school from Shenandoah Valley to New River Valley. This edit should not have been declined, the posted location of the school is in error. The posted map is not the correct map for this school. The school is NOT located in the Shenandoah Valley, it is located in the New River Valley in Pulaski County Virginia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_River_Valley; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulaski_County,_Virginia (Dublin, Pulaski County Virginia is located in the New River Valley)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenandoah_Valley (Dublin, Pulaski County Virginia is not located in the Shenandoah Valley) There is approximately a 200 mile/3 hour one way trip between these two counties. galndixie 20:22, 15 July 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Galndixie (talk • contribs) 20:22, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
Reply 15-JUL-2018 edit
Infobox map removed and coordinates updatedThe requested location was not appended at that time because Kelly NRCC did not provide information on where the school is located by indicating the following:
- Lat/Long coordinates
with a reference provided in the form of:
- The college's Google Maps CID number
This information would have been sufficient to make the change had it been presented by the COI editor at that time. For future reference, NRCC's Google Maps CID number is #1933997312597183095. Based on that CID, the official coordinates have now been updated here and at NRCC's Wikidata page.
