RTP bookstore staff
I had a student having difficulty completing her order, and I asked the RTP Bookstore staff to assist her. They were both great and reached out to the student and walked her through her issues, and she was able to order her books. Thanks to both of you for going the extra mile for one of our students.

Thank you for going above and beyond for our CCP student/parent who were experiencing a difficult time completing the post-acceptance steps since their account had been deactivated. You were determined to figure out how and who could help us reactivate their account since CCP students don't reapply.

I spoke with a parent today at an "Ask Me!" table, and she told me how grateful she was for Abby Littlefield! She told me that she and her son came to campus on the first day of the semester, panicked, and after their advising appointment with Abby, they felt calm and prepared!

These ladies did an awesome job on the first two days of school this fall – the hottest two days of the year – organizing the Ask Me tables and helping set up fun things outside in the blazing heat! They each gave 200%. Truly some of the best at WTCC!

Kevin Atkinson
Professor Atkinson, I want to take this moment to thank you for your passion and patience. You played a critical role in my academic development. Without your expertise, I would still have math anxiety, and I would not have pushed myself to move forward. Thank you, and I wish you the best!

Ms. Terry Lynch, Financial Aid Office
Ms. Lynch is amazing! Not only is she quick to respond, I appreciate the time she takes with me to answer my questions. She has been a HUGE help! Going back to school as an adult learner is stressful enough balancing life's responsibilities. She is such a blessing helping me with financial aid.
