Due to the nature of what we do here at the Capstone Center, we often have a few last-minute print jobs that need to be submitted quickly for a speedy turnaround. Sam Walker and all of the Print Shop always go above and beyond to ensure we meet our deadlines. We appreciate them so much!

Dwight Springfield
Thank you, Dwight, for going above and beyond your job duties. In need of wheels for our work tables, you sourced ones that would work for us and installed a sample set to make sure they fit. Yes, they did! Even though this is normally the work of Facilities, you assisted us in our time of need.

Luke Sweeney
Working with a student deciding between AAS programs, I was unable to answer her questions about specific IT programs and how they might transfer. I called Luke to see if he would join the Teams call. He said "yes" without hesitation. Luke patiently answered all her questions. Major decided. #WIN

Since I've been at Wake Tech, she has always been my go to person to talk to. She always goes beyond to make sure I get the help that I need. I really am appreciative of her. She always takes the initiative to make my matters urgent, and she overexerts herself to solving the matter.

Terry Haddock Lynch
I recently was having some trouble with my financial aid, and she helped me tremendously! I did not think I would be able to receive my financial aid (Pell grant) for the Summer term, but Ms. Lynch helped me go through the SAP appeal process, and I finally was able to receive my aid.

Jessica Farmer
Jessica met with me twice to help me work out class registration at Wake Tech. She took so much time to plan out my classes and to explain what would transfer and what wouldn't. The process to transfer to NCSU is quite complex, but she took the time to ensure I understood. Amazing experience!

Crystin Irwin
Blackboard Reports are hard. I received clear, concise answers upfront and a walk-through over the phone. I followed with a Teams call with Crystin. She didn't interject as I noted what I thought, and before she confirmed or denied, she listened, really listened, before answering and explaining. Thank you!

Jacinta Allmond
A new student and parent came to Advising at 4:55 p.m. recently. Jacinta brought the student and parent back and worked with them until 5:40, even though we close at 5. The student and parent left with all the information they needed, and Jacinta showed her dedication to students and the college!

Carrie L. Garrett
Grace came to Wake Tech scared and anxious. Carrie engaged her about school, being introverted and caring for others. Grace felt so welcomed that she talked all the way home about how excited, engaged and valued she felt compared to two semesters at WCU. Carrie has made a genuine and lasting impact on my daughter.
