She has an incredible breadth of knowledge and is always willing to share it, help find an answer, or point someone in the right direction. More than that, she genuinely wants to see others succeed and is always happy to lend a hand. Her support, knowledge, and willingness to help make such a positive difference for our campus community." - Angie Rekasie, Assistant Professor - Hospitality Management
"Myia is simply the glue that holds the CTPP division together. She is the "go to" person on most any topic and is always willing to jump in and help at any time.

She is most deserving of this recognition." - Dean Miles, Division Chair - Career & Technical Professional Programs
"I would be absolutely lost without Myia as a resource for both me and my students. She is always on top of everything, is generous with her time and knowledge, and is all around an amazing asset.

"Our division would be lost without Myia. She oversees several CTPP programs and serves as a dedicated advocate for the students in those programs. Myia is incredibly valued and appreciated by both faculty and students, and she absolutely deserves to be recognized for all she does for NIC. She consistently goes above and beyond in her role, volunteering for countless events on both the main campus and at Parker Technical Education Center, always willing to lend a hand wherever needed. Even with her busy schedule, she never loses sight of what matters most: student success. She takes the time to remind students to apply for graduation, helps them identify certificates they have earned but may have overlooked, and ensures they have the support and resources needed to reach their goals. Myia's dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for students make a lasting impact across our college. Her positive attitude, willingness to help, and commitment to student achievement truly embody the spirit of NIC. She is the kind of person who works tirelessly behind the scenes to make everyone else's job easier and every student's experience better. We are incredibly fortunate to have her on our team." - Angie Blair, Assistant Professor - Accounting Assistant Program
