Shawnda Holley
Shawnda Holley was my instructor for BUS-110 for Fall 2023 semester, and I wanted to thank her for being such a great instructor. She gave lots of encouragement throughout the semester, and I appreciated the way she structured her communication, keeping us on track and task for this eight-week course.

On two recent occasions, Joy and her staff met with us and explained the scholarship application processes. Understanding these processes allows us to track a student's progress and provide assistance if needed. This ensures the scholarship student(s) will be registered on time!
