Ms. Wheeler has been nothing but amazing and helpful to me since I first started at Wake Tech. She continues to help me and encourage me to do better, and, without her guidance, my journey through college would be harder.

I would like to thank Thomas for taking the time to help ensure I could access Blackboard while I was abroad. He was very patient and helped me resolve authentication issues with my Wake Tech Outlook login. He even walked me through setting up Microsoft Authenticator on my phone. Thank you!!

Earlier this week, near the end of a very busy day, a Workforce Development student came into the curriculum advising office in a panic needing to register for a non-degree course and pay for the course that day, and she had two holds. Long story short: Student registered and happy! Thank you, Maribel and Ryan! Legit rockstars! :)

Bill McNairy
Bill stepped in at the last minute to take over a full night class when one of our adjunct instructors was unable to teach this semester. It's on a different campus than his primary duty station, but by filling in, he's allowing 24 students to stay on track with their plan! Thank you, Bill!

Matt stepped in at the last minute to take over a full night class when one of our adjunct instructors was unable to teach this semester. It's on a different campus than his primary duty station and a new prep, but by filling in, he's allowing 24 students to stay on track with their plan! Thank you!
