You're always willing to go out of your way to help a CCP staff member, Wake Tech sister department and students/parents, going above and beyond the call of duty! I especially appreciate you jumping into the weeds alongside me when duty calls! Thank you DP for being someone we can always count on!

Jessica Farmer
Jessica met with me twice to help me work out class registration at Wake Tech. She took so much time to plan out my classes and to explain what would transfer and what wouldn't. The process to transfer to NCSU is quite complex, but she took the time to ensure I understood. Amazing experience!

So thankful to my amazing Business Administration faculty/staff for the support given at the HR Adjunct Job Fair with setup, meet and greet and interviews. Interviewing applicants at the Fair was beneficial, and, because of your efforts, we have several applicants to hire.

Crystin Irwin
Blackboard Reports are hard. I received clear, concise answers upfront and a walk-through over the phone. I followed with a Teams call with Crystin. She didn't interject as I noted what I thought, and before she confirmed or denied, she listened, really listened, before answering and explaining. Thank you!

Jacinta Allmond
A new student and parent came to Advising at 4:55 p.m. recently. Jacinta brought the student and parent back and worked with them until 5:40, even though we close at 5. The student and parent left with all the information they needed, and Jacinta showed her dedication to students and the college!

Carrie L. Garrett
Grace came to Wake Tech scared and anxious. Carrie engaged her about school, being introverted and caring for others. Grace felt so welcomed that she talked all the way home about how excited, engaged and valued she felt compared to two semesters at WCU. Carrie has made a genuine and lasting impact on my daughter.
