Cathy Collins
Cathy has been a champion for "stop out" students - reaching out to them, making sure they're registered, connecting them with campus resources, etc. She's been a shining light for these students - helping them return to WT and complete their degree - and she's done it in a supportive manner!

Professor Debra Etheridge
Professor Etheridge made a rocky, uphill climb easier to travel. I am a 42-year-old student, returning to school after about 20 years of being out of school. She was patient, kind and helped me set realistic expectations for my learning. She encouraged me to keep going, and that means a lot!
