The TEAM EFFORT AWARD goes to:

Nominated by Janice Blansit, Program Director JCAE
Accomplishment: In today’s JCAE leadership meeting, we solicited shout-outs for excellence, and three team members gushed about the ongoing support provided by JCCC Admissions. Leslie Dykstra and Jill Sigler talked about a recent collaboration in which Admissions updated the crosswalk that converts GED scores to GPAs for purposes of student placement and scholarship eligibility. Angie Huber also noted that AO-K program requirements impose ongoing burdens on the Admissions staff to override holds for AO-K students entering credit classes. Pete and Teresa always respond quickly and positively to requests for assistance, happy to support JCAE students and staff.
