Pictured with Holland, from left to right, are Pete Haverkos, Director of Learning Assistance; Janet Valente, Writing Specialist; Theresa Troutman, Program Associate, and Dr. Lee Sanders, Senior Associate Dean.

“We appreciate this generous donation from Sam’s Club.  A big part of our mission is educational accessibility.  This gift provides a boost to our Learning Assistance office, which supports and facilitates student success,” Dr. Sanders said.
