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. A lot of flexibility, changes, and new procedures have come about, but we all endured with kindness and empathy for other. The best TEAM ever.

Mr. Charles Powell
Thanks for going above and beyond your teaching requirements for ACC 221 online class. I have never had a online class with so much instructor interaction and it has been really enjoyable and I finally feel like a member of the class (in an online class). Thank you for having the weekly live meeting.
