Kudos to a wonderful team of interpreters! They have made the transition for me into my new role as Coordinator seamless. As interpreters, they are often behind the scenes so thought it would be nice to give them a shout out for all they do.

Kim Smith
Kim went above and beyond to help me with my audio issues on Teams. The classroom in NK 360 was not set up for HyFlex and Kim came over right away with a mic/headset. I didn't lose any instruction time because Kim came over within minutes of my request. Now that's putting the students first!!

Mrs. Grieb, you are an awesome teacher! I have a learning problem and her teaching style made learning so much easier. Her instructions were always so clear, which helped me as a student in the long run. She is the best psych teacher at Wake Tech. I appreciate you understanding my struggles.

Chris provides excellent service, going above and beyond his duties. Last week his service allowed me to flip an in-person class to an online class in a matter of a couple of hours. I appreciate all he does and wanted to publicly acknowledge his dedication and hard work.

Thank you Doug Lucas in IT for going the extra mile when I had to upgrade to a new laptop. He provided excellent customer service during this stressful time. The new computer had a few "issues" that had to be worked out and Doug was right there to work through them in a timely manner.
