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! :)

Great job to Sebastian, one of our student ambassadors. I witnessed him helping a number students on the first day of class. He was stationed in Building B on Scott Northern Wake Campus and helped students navigate to their appropriate building and classroom. Great job!

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!

Math & Physics is so grateful to Michelle and the eLTC team for going above and beyond so online faculty could get their summer final exams on Thursday to meet deadlines. This saved valuable instructional and review time by allowing faculty to schedule their final exams as late as possible.
