Mrs. Carrie is a rock star! I could not let another day go by without recognizing her for all her hard-work, dedication and support. Mrs. Carrie has recently been promoted to a new role, and, yet, still she has been going above and beyond by continuing to support the roles of her previous position.

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.
