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.

I received a new laptop in early May, and it was a complete lemon. Chan spent many hours trying to get it working to no avail. I now have a new fully functioning laptop. Thanks Chan!
