Last year, we added recognition for employees who reached their one and three-year anniversaries with COA. We value and appreciate each year that our faculty and staff remain committed to COA, our students, our communities and one another.
COA also announced Dr. Kimberly Gregory, Director of College and Career Readiness, as its nominee for the North Carolina Community College System’s Staff of the Year Award. Additional information on Gregory’s recognition will be forthcoming.
