During the Fall semester, I had problems with my financial aid. Mrs. Lynch helped me through the process, making sure I was updated every step of the way, from the acceptance offer to making sure my refund was in the system properly. I appreciate everything she has done for me.

We are grateful for Sherry's strong commitment to our students and our college mission. Faced with a sudden resignation from the department, she volunteered to take over a class at another campus. In addition, she was willing to temporarily substitute other sections until we found full coverage.

I appreciate you submitting Eagle Assist tickets on behalf of students who have a name change and want their email address updated to match their legal name. It is great customer service to complete that step for the student instead of leaving it up to them to call the IT Help Desk.

Professor Ariel Wortham
Professor Wortham shows a dedication to her subject that is rivaled by few. She shows a great understanding of the New Testament and a genuine love for teaching and sharing that knowledge with others. Her assignments are always thoughtful and encourage deeper understanding and reflection.

Heather gave her time to answer some advising questions for me. This led to her extending herself to meet with me and others in the Education Department to clarify some further advising concerns. She went above and beyond to even create documents to help us with our advising sessions. So GRATEFUL!
