Professor Karen Klein

Professor Klein is helping her students learn lifelong skills in her MAT143 class. She is making a positive impact in the lives of her students. Her curricula allows students to apply topics learned to their real lives and when the content is relatable like this, the retention is so much higher.

I have to preface I have never met this Professor.This is the first class I‘ve taken with him.He reached out after learning of my diagnosis. His words were so comforting. He made me feel as though I was more than just a student. He fits well with the ranks of WTCC Educators. Thank you Prof Rusczak

I want to thank Dean Mims and my Coordinators who have been wonderful, as we are all helping each other to navigate through this rollercoaster ride of COVID. A lot of flexibility, changes, and new procedures have come about, but we all endured with kindness and empathy for other. The best TEAM ever.

ESL Department in College and Career Readiness

In CCR, our performance is measured in very precise terms. This past program year, thanks to the incredible performance of our ESL department, we achieved the best Performance numbers out of any of the big schools in NC and we were 9th overall! All this in the midst of a pandemic! Way to go, ESL!

Faith has been working so very hard this year and has gone above and beyond to make sure that as many of our CCR students as possible have a laptop with which they can access online courses and know how to use them well enough to succeed. She truly deserves kudos for a job excellently done!
