Donna Jeffries
On April 21, for the Beauty & Hair Career Fair, we were running low on ink pens for the students. I went downstairs to the receptionist's desk and asked Donna for some pens. Without hesitation, she gave me a handful and did not require that they be replenished. I appreciate her generosity and help.

Jack's been going above and beyond with CCP students: staying late with students who walk in right at 5, always volunteering to help and being a resource for those helping CCP students. Everyone on campus applauds all he does for RTP and CCP.

For each graduation ceremony, students get a diploma cover with an information letter inserted in the diploma cover. Renee volunteered to insert all 930 letters in the diploma covers. She completed the task within a few hours. Thank you for volunteering and for being a great team player!!

Renee Mireles
Thank you, Renee, for volunteering your time to assist in prepping 930 diploma cases in one day for graduation! Stuffing diploma cases may not seem like much, but the diploma case is the one thing that each student gets to hold at the end of graduation. Kudos to you!

Danielle answered to the call of duty, after she had clocked out for the day, to help a staff member and panicked CCP student. She reassured the student and school counselor of the student's next steps and reminded them they had plenty of time before registration begins. Way to stay cool under pressure!

I was having an issue with my QLess page loading in Microsoft edge, and Mike showed how to clear the browser history so my page can load. He listened to my issue and me venting about not getting help the day prior. He showed great customer service.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to even attend college. For a long time, college was not an option for me. I hope to make the best of this opportunity and to one day help others the way I have been helped.
