The Human Services Program educates and encourages elite professionals to serve our community."

"Mike has been part of the TTC family for just over three months, yet he has already demonstrated a strong commitment to our community.

As a proud TTC graduate, Mike exemplifies the power of a TTC education and the spirit of giving back."

"As the Director of Admissions, Dr. Johnson leads with excellence and is definitely a hero to students. Just yesterday, a student and her parents, who does not speak much English came with her parents who also don't speak much English. The student's aunt was on the phone trying to help her get into her class. With his desire to leave a positive impact on the student and her family, he grabbed his laptop and sat in the lobby with the student and her family to help assist her with logging in to her account. He took it a step further and helped the student email her instructor to setup a video call. Dr. Johnson shows all of us daily how to handle challenges and setbacks with dignity."

"We are incredibly proud to recognize Becky for her unwavering commitment to student success. As a passionate advocate for her students, Becky consistently goes above and beyond to create a fun, engaging environment, especially when tackling the complexities of radiologic technology, especially physics! Her enthusiasm for the profession shines through in everything she does, and it’s clear her students feel the difference. Health Sciences and TTC are truly fortunate to have Becky on our team. Her creativity, energy, and heart make her an invaluable asset—and an inspiration to us all!"

She frequently stays late and works after hours at home to take care of things to help keep our division running smoothly for the faculty, staff, and students. She will happily pause what she is doing to help everyone. She puts everyone in our division ahead of herself. She is a selfless person and goes above and beyond every second of the day! Her presence here is priceless!"

"Aniston is the very definition of a hero for students because her story shows what is possible when talent, determination, and opportunity come together. Once a student walking the same halls, she seized every tool, every lesson, and every bit of knowledge she was given and transformed it into meaningful action. What began as a mock interview turned into a real position, and from that moment forward, she has not only risen to every challenge but also elevated the college itself. Aniston has delivered improvements that touch nearly every corner of the college experience: automated billing that frees staff to focus more on students, transcript enhancements that every graduate sees, online forms that make processes simpler for students and employees alike and complex scripts that support Financial Aid and state reporting. Each solution she creates makes life easier, clearer and better for students. Her journey is proof that Trident students can thrive not only in their chosen field of study but even here at the college itself. Aniston shows what it means to take knowledge, apply it with excellence, and use it to make a lasting difference for others."

"Michael cares deeply about students and spends a lot of time behind the scenes making sure their financial aid is in place and they are free to focus on their studies.

"Shannon sees her role as a position to be an advocate for students, and does her best to make sure they have everything they need to be successful. She does not hesitate to reach out to other offices for assistance, and provides advice for needy students in person every day. This means she misses out on activities other employees can attend because she is selflessly helping students in need. Shannon also serves on Staff Council and brings up topics that can improve a student's overall experience at TTC."

"Frank tirelessly helps some of our most needy students find resources such as housing, childcare and other support services. He manages the student urgent needs fund and he always responds whenever I've reached out to him about help for a student."

"Glenn goes above and beyond for both his faculty members and the students he serves. He took it upon himself to assist a student in attaining their driver's license because they had a job offer at a television station that required them to drive. Just one example of his understated leadership that exemplifies a deep caring for the TTC community."
