Special to Huntingtonnews.net
Huntigton, WV (HNN) – C.T. Mitchell of Huntington has been selected as Employee of the Month for October at the Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing, RCBI Director and CEO Charlotte Weber announced.
Mitchell has served in a part-time capacity as senior public information specialist since February 2007, working out of the Huntington Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center.
A native of Williamson, W.Va., he is a 1949 graduate of Williamson High School and earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in journalism from Marshall University. After a 19-year career in various editing positions at newspapers in Williamson and Huntington, he joined the Marshall University staff, serving as director of university relations and presidential assistant. After closing his 27-year Marshall career in 2000, he assisted Marshall President Emeritus Robert B. Hayes in writing the history of the Marshall medical school.
Mitchell was a founding board member of both Prestera Center for Mental Health and Green Acres Regional Center for the Developmentally Disabled, serving on the latter board for more than 40 years. He was among the initial group to be inducted into the Williamson High School Hall of Fame in 2000 and received a Distinguished Alumnus Award from the W. Page Pitt School of Journalism in 1989. He was a member of the U.S. Army of Occupation in West Germany from 1954 to 1956, serving at the army’s European headquarters. A widower, he is the father of Richard Mitchell and Matthew Garrett of Huntington and Sharon Norris of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
“There’s no substitute for experience and C.T. has brought a world of helpful experience to RCBI,” said Weber. “As a veteran newspaperman, his firsthand knowledge of how the media work has been invaluable to us. In his nearly 30-year career at Marshall, he showed time and time again that he knew how to tell the university’s story to the media and the public. Now, we’re fortunate that he’s putting those same skills to work for RCBI.”
RCBI provides access to cutting edge technology and technical training to manufacturers across the region. Operating from Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centers in Huntington, South Charleston, Bridgeport and Rocket Center (near Keyser in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle), its mission includes developing a quality, just-in-time supplier base for the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the commercial sector.
