College Closed Wednesday

Due to the forecast of inclement weather, all Wake Tech campuses will be closed Wednesday. In-person classes are canceled, but online classes continue as scheduled. Students can still register for eight-week courses, and prospective students can apply online. Many Wake Tech services are available virtually. Employees who can work remotely should do so.

Impact Council Campus Climate Workgroup

The Campus Climate Workgroup includes the following Wake Tech faculty and staff members:

  • Rachel Madsen
  • Barry Malone
  • Faith Palmer
  • Jacqueline Popp
  • Shelia Spiegel
  • Cricket Wellum

The workgroup strives for accountability through the assessment of separate data-driven surveys for students, faculty and staff. Disaggregated data is used as a tool to reveal equity gaps, amplify and validate student voices and experiences and cultivate opportunities that embody inclusive excellence.

The workgroup has undertaken the following initiatives:

  • Select a third-party vendor – to ensure anonymity – to conduct separate surveys for students, faculty and staff
  • Develop a marketing and promotion plan to increase survey participation
  • Conduct organized forums to discuss the survey with students, faculty and staff
  • Share survey results with the college community
  • Discuss action items that will be addressed from the survey results to form focus groups
