Selfie with Kelly

Last year, I started a new tradition with the ERHD program and it involved HONORING — Ms Kelly Bass. Kelly is our extra special ERHD STUDENT ADMINISTRATOR and ERHD COURSE ADMINISTRATOR who helps me with all the internal administrative activities related to student enrollment, student graduation, course arrangement, and course implementation into the ECU system. Kelly is the key person who regularly assist me with the overall operations of the ERHD program. Of course, Kelly is the Department of Public Health student coordinator first and then assist me with my ERHD program.

So this is the 2ND YEAR in which I HONOR Kelly Bass for all her knowledge and hardwork that she has provided the ERHD program with a special luncheon at our favorite local eatery – Mi Cabana!
