Debbie Ridgeway
Deb is the unsung hero of the Dental Hygiene program. Behind the scenes, she single-handedly ensures that all the students and faculty have what they need for every single clinic and by her example teaches the students a valuable work ethic. I don't know what we would do without her. Thanks Deb!

RTP bookstore staff
I had a student having difficulty completing her order, and I asked the RTP Bookstore staff to assist her. They were both great and reached out to the student and walked her through her issues, and she was able to order her books. Thanks to both of you for going the extra mile for one of our students.

Thank you for going above and beyond for our CCP student/parent who were experiencing a difficult time completing the post-acceptance steps since their account had been deactivated.
