Chris delivered four boxes by placing them on a cart and leaving the cart in my office. He could have just plopped the boxes on the floor, but he thought about me having to move the boxes. GREAT Customer Service. Chris is always pleasant and personable. Thank you CHRIS!!

Charlotte Ellis
Charlotte Ellis took it to heart when she heard Dr. Ralls talk about the need to reach out, rally around and lift up our students. She was recently awarded an Innovation Fund Award for 2023-2024, and to hear her speak about how Reach 'n' Rally inspired her to create her project is motivational!

Samantha has been at Wake Tech for less than a month, and she has gone above and beyond to learn our many procedures at Wake Tech as quickly as possible. So much so that she was integral in the onboarding of three new hires last week, guiding them through the process like she'd been here for years!

I want to recognize you for supporting a fellow faculty member who was scheduled to teach classes and did not feel well. When you saw a need, you stepped up and volunteered to teach their seated sections. This action not only supported your colleague but also supported student success. Thank you!

From a student’s parent: "I wanted you to know the impact you made on his life. He now knows what it takes to accomplish his goal of getting his degree. You taught him how to study and gave him confidence in his ability, something no educator before has been able to accomplish. Well done!"
