Everything's In Order

Corporations, institutions, and public agencies all depend on accurate files, records and correspondence. That’s why people in clerical roles play such a big part in how smoothly an organization runs.

Patrice Harris Shelton is just such a person. She is in a key administrative support position, where she is responsible for maintaining accurate records and protecting the confidentiality of those files.

Although employed full-time, Patrice is taking classes in the Mary Baldwin distance-learning degree program. And while her CTE classes certainly play a part in her current job, Patrice notes that “I’ve found my CTE classes help me even more with my college load—communicating with professors and writing papers!”
