I reached out to Kelly about a work issue I was having, and she was so kind and encouraging. She listened to my concerns and gave me some positive feedback. I felt so much better after our conversation. She is great at her job, and I love knowing she is someone I can reach out to in the future!

Mrs. Aurore Locklear
Sincerely, you have been such an inspiration to me, not only as a co-worker, but also as a professor and club advisor. I've not only improved my skill as a programmer, but I'm so happy to have had the experience you've guided me to! Thank you for all you do, and I can't wait to see whom you inspire next.

Donell Winston
He came to assist with a student/parent situation that was escalating and helped redirect them toward Admissions – a baton pass between CCP and Admissions – helping to get them back on track so they can go forward at Wake Tech. Teamwork makes the dream work! Thank you for your support!

Aurore Locklear
Professor Locklear has been one of my favorite professors during my time at Wake Tech. From her humor to her ability to clearly communicate complex topics, she has been an inspiration for me. She never fails to answer questions, and no question is ever too basic for her to answer clearly and kindly.

Belatedly, thank you!

Ms. Terry is always so approachable and helpful! I often reach out to her on behalf of very stressed students who want to know their FAFSA status, and she always responds kindly and in a timely manner so that we can give the students some peace of mind. She is a team player!

Tameika Shackelford
Tameika is professional and a pleasure to work beside. She shows a positive attitude when students or staff come in with a negative attitude. Her tone and demeanor never change from helping people who come into the Perry Health Sciences Campus SS office. She is an added value to Wake Tech Admissions.

Whoever had an idea to change the login to AdAstra to be a general Wake Tech ID, thank you! You are saving Wake Tech probably an hour back in my productivity just in wait time for the site to launch :-). But seriously - Great Job!
