I want to give a shoutout to the entire Advising Team at the Scott Northern Wake Campus for their support as I dealt with the loss of my mother-in-law. It is peak advising time and they stepped up and took all my appointments on days I had to be away. I am so grateful for their commitments to colleagues and students!

Professor Karen Klein
Professor Klein is helping her students learn lifelong skills in her MAT143 class. She is making a positive impact in the lives of her students. Her curricula allows students to apply topics learned to their real lives and when the content is relatable like this, the retention is so much higher.

I want to thank Dean Mims and my Coordinators who have been wonderful, as we are all helping each other to navigate through this rollercoaster ride of COVID.
