Over the
years, Mrs. Dibble was active in many civic and church activities. She played an important role in BCCC’s history.
Mrs. Dibble chaired a $600,000 bond issue to fund capital improvements at then
Beaufort County Technical Institute which included construction of the institute’s
first library. For seven years, Mrs. Dibble also chaired BCCC’s College
Parallel Committee which oversaw changes in the school’s curriculum which were
needed during the transition from technical institute to community college.
