Here are the 2021 recipients :

August 2021 Recipient Imani Asukile
When the Hernando Today newspaper had interviewed me about my job , a non-traditional student named Howard J . accused me of only recruiting young students . I told him to follow me to the college and I ’ d get him situated . He became an LPN . We are still good friends to this day .”
“
September 2021 Recipient Stacey Thomson , Ph . D .
Sometimes it ’ s not because our students can ’ t do something , but they didn ’ t know that they could . I donate to and support the Foundation because I recognize the benefit to our communities that they provide in helping our students continue their journey to success .”
“
October 2021 Recipient Courtney Benito , Ed . S .
Our students are hardworking , who want to achieve their dreams and go the distance . Our students are not one size , and you can ’ t contain them in a box . They are forward thinking and come out of PHSC with the strength to continue in work or further education .”

November 2021 Recipient Dave Mayler
What sets our students apart is that they ’ ve had hands on experiential learning from faculty and staff members that care . At PHSC we impact our students through engagement . The Foundation allows me to feel that my small contributions are part of a larger success story , our students !”

At All College Day I had an opportunity to call on some of your skills and experiences that were not normally used in daily work and to work with and get to know people outside of your normal cadre . We have some amazing people here at PHSC !”
