TRCC Assistant Director of Admissions, Brenna Jaskiewicz, Honored
Norwich: Brenna Jaskiewicz was recently awarded a Community Service Award “for outstanding contributions on behalf of [Norwich] Adult Education”. She received the plaque on May 24th at the Norwich Adult Ed graduation ceremony.
Along with the plaque, Brenna received a hand written note from all 20 students from the Norwich Adult Ed Transitions class. It was very touching. Several are attending TRCC this fall, and one, Samantha A. Tucker received a $500 scholarship from a local bank.
Brenna’s Background:
She represents Three Rivers Community College on the Norwich Adult Ed ‘Transitions’ Advisory Board. There is also a class named Transitions that these HS Diploma seeking students take. The course, which focuses on transitioning to higher ed or training after receiving their HS diploma, used to solely take place at Norwich Adult Ed. A few years back, we started hosting this adult ed course on our campus so the students would feel more connected to college and see themselves as being able to continue their studies as part of a college community. (Jessie McCoy used to help coordinate that but when she left TRCC and no one took her place right away, Norwich adult ed was afraid this program would be lost.) Brenna stepped in and made the arrangements along with continuing ed. She secured motivational speakers as well as speakers from financial aid and admissions.
