Wake
Tech Offers Dental Curriculum Demo to Legislators
In
the waning days of this year's N.C. General Assembly session, students
and faculty from Wake Technical Community College's Dental Hygiene and
Dental Assisting programs presented a curriculum demonstration that included
free oral cancer and blood pressure checks.
Again this year, three outstanding North Carolina community college students
were winners of the 2004-05 NCCCFA Student Scholarships of $1,000 each.
Tina W. Ayers & Judith
Meyer
The Eastern Region winner is Tina Woodall Ayers, nominated by Judith
Luna Meyer of Beaufort County Community College in Washington, NC.
Ms. Ayers is a mother of seven children who has returned to school after
18 years spent raising a family and home-schooling her children. Her husband
has recently been forced by illness to start a new career in a new job,
and Tina has returned to school to help her family’s fortune and to seek
a career in nursing, a lifetime dream.
Jessica Seefeld & Dr. Anthony Harrington
The Central Region winner is Jessica Pauline Seefeld, nominated by Dr.
Anthony Ross Harrington of Central Carolina Community College in Sanford,
NC.
Ms. Seefeld is working on a double associate degree in Office Systems
Technology and Accounting. At CCCC, she has served as secretary and Vice
President of her local SGA and has recently attended the N4CSGA conference
in Raleigh. She has found her community college as “a place to explore
your interests.” She hopes to use her Office Systems Technology education
as a stepping-stone to become a court recorder.
The Western Region winner is Lisa Hannah, nominated by Lynn Gibbons-Beddow
of Haywood Community College in Clyde, NC.
Ms. Hannah is the mother of two young girls, Kassie and Faith. Having
grown up in low-income families, she and her husband have struggled to
provide a better future for their family. Lisa entered college to be the
best possible role model for her daughters, to show by example that they
can achieve any goal they wish to pursue, and to acquire an education
to better provide for her family materially. She is enrolled in the Telecommunication
Networking Engineer Program with an emphasis in Electrical Engineering.
Her ultimate goal is to pursue a master’s degree in engineering.
