Officially on April 1, Lenoir Community College employee Susan Nobles celebrated 50 years of service at the College; however, the College celebrated her Thursday with a cookout and with the naming of the Lancer Baseball Scoreboard – the Nobles Scoreboard. 

LCC President Dr. Rusty Hunt presented her with an official Lancer Baseball jersey with her name on the back and in a video presentation, he unveiled the Nobles Scoreboard.  

“I am totally blown away by this. I’m thrilled,” Susan Nobles said. “I’m humbled and blessed.” 

“Everyone loves Susan,” Hunt said. “She is a great supporter of the College and has given so much of her time to LCC and to the athletic programs. You will always see her at the games. We appreciate her and her dedication.” 

The LCC Board of Trustees honored Nobles at its board meeting this week with a resolution recognizing her years of service and a plaque. 

Nobles’ husband, Bobby, and one of her sons, Robert, also work at the College and her other son, Richard, his wife, Amanda, and their children, Eli, Scarlett, and Lizzie attended the spring cookout in Nobles’ honor in the Culinary Arts Department. 

Nobles graduated in Computer Programming from LCC in 1973. Soon after graduation, she started a job with the City of Kinston. She worked there for about a year before somebody recommended her for a position at LCC. Little did she know that she would be celebrating her 50th anniversary. 

She has held many positions at LCC and is currently the Research Coordinator. “I love what I do. I may have had challenging days, but my experience at LCC has been rewarding,” she said. “I just hope people remember me as a kind person. I pray they remember me as a helpful person who would never say no.”
