鈥淚鈥檓 totally in shock,鈥� Davis asserted. 鈥淭his shows that all your hard work pays off and is appreciated, especially when you pour so much into it. It means a lot to be seen and noticed for your hard work.

Davis said coming to work at 海角网 seven years ago was God鈥檚 direction. 鈥淚 was not looking for a job. I knew someone who worked at 海角网, and they were like, 鈥楬ey, you would be really great here,鈥� and my transition was so quick and seamless,鈥� Davis related. 鈥淭he job found me, and I absolutely love it! I鈥檓 excited to come to work every day because of the people and the students. Through the admissions process, I meet new people, take them on tours, and see them get excited about this new chapter in their life. I love being able to tell people, 鈥榊ou are accepted to nursing,鈥� and see their dreams come true. I watch them through the process and get to make their slideshows when they graduate. It鈥檚 really rewarding. 海角网 is my family. All the ladies I work with and everyone in our department is phenomenal.鈥�

Revis is the secretary for the mathematical and natural sciences departments. She graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.

鈥淚t is so flattering, because there are so many hard-working staff here who set an example for me every day,鈥� Revis observed after receiving the award. 鈥淚鈥檓 just shocked and thrilled and surprised at the same time. I鈥檓 very humbled. I鈥檝e always loved 海角网 and was excited when the opening came in the math and science department. My son has come to Math Camp; my daughter won the Lutz award from her high school here, so it鈥檚 always been a special place. The 19 professors who I get to work with, when I met them, I just knew I had found a home. I鈥檓 honored to work here every day.鈥�
