Dr. Doug Hummer
Doug went above and beyond while helping me learn VidGrid this fall. He took the time to meet with me on MS Teams and he never seemed to be irritated with my silly questions. Doug is a real team player and an asset to our college.

I have been amazed and touched by how our dear HOD Joan Romano has rallied around us ever since we converted to emergency online teaching. Her daily department meetings have been a great source of support. She even came and recorded some videos for me in the busiest of times. Thank you, Joan!
