Education And Research Consortium
The Education and Research Consortium of the Western Carolinas (ERC) was created in 1997 to put together a plan whereby Western North Carolina (WNC) could participate in and even lead the new technology revolution of the time. Out of this meeting a non-profit organization was created whose board is composed of the presidents/chancellors of Brevard College, Mars Hill College, Montreat College, Western Carolina University, and local businessmen. Also included in the ERC's activities are Furman University in South Carolina, UNC Asheville and the area's community colleges. The ERC's goal is to work cooperatively to bring to WNC and the upstate of South Carolina, as an integrated region, the economic and quality of life benefits new technology offers.

Famous quotes containing the words education and/or research:
“I say that male and female are cast in the same mold; except for education and habits, the difference is not great.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
