Express Your Why: Employee Testimonials
Herbert Rembert
For Herbert Rembert, a human resource staffing consultant at Central Piedmont, his "why" is simple: He enjoys giving back to the place he's called his work home for eight years.
Everything we do at the college is for students. So, if there's a way I can support our student body and foster our students' growth and achievement, then I'll gladly contribute to hopefully make a difference in someone else's life.
Herbert has been a long-standing Employee Giving Campaign donor. Each year, he elects to have his gift allocated to the college's greatest needs, whether that's student scholarships, program support, the Student Emergency Fund, etc.
"The chance to give back is important to me," says Herbert. "Thankfully, Central Piedmont's Employee Giving Campaign gives me the opportunity to help others through philanthropy; it's a win-win."

Jennifer Perkins
For Jennifer Perkins, a faculty member at Central Piedmont, giving to the college means supporting members of her family.
"I give because I'm a part of the greater Central Piedmont community," she says. "Because I wear that badge, it also means I get the opportunity to support this community with not only my knowledge and service, but also my gifts."
Jennifer has been giving to the Employee Giving Campaign since she joined the college as a full-time employee in 2010. It makes her feel more connected to the fabric of the college its people and its students.

Giving makes me feel as though I'm supporting the college beyond my day-to-day job duties. As a faculty member, I understand my support of students extends outside the classroom. My gift to the Employee Giving Campaign helps me accomplish this goal by gifting a student with the financial aid they need to sit in my classroom and continue their educational journey. The feeling is indescribable.
D.I. von Briesen
D.I. von Briesen, an information technology (IT) instructor at Central Piedmont, believes in what he does for a living. During his 20-year teaching career, he has seen the impact the small things can have on students - a conversation after class, a cup of coffee, or a simple text message. He asks all his students to journal their experiences and seeks to learn about them collectively and individually.
D.I. draws inspiration from his recently-retired colleague, Dr. Barbara Neequaye. During their 20-year friendship, he learned about her early struggles with racism. She was an African-American woman coding in the mainframe days. They worked together in web technologies and even swapped program chair roles. In dedicating his Employee Giving Campaign donations in honor of Dr. Neequaye, D.I. hopes his gift will encourage other pioneers to join the emerging generation of information technology professionals.
We should support that which supports us. Central Piedmont and its people have encouraged me throughout my career. Its people are my people, and that's why I contribute to the Employee Giving Campaign.
Shawn Allison
For Shawn Allison, program chair for supply chain management at Central Piedmont, he gives to the Employee Giving Campaign because it aligns with the college's student-first philosophy.
Being a 'champion of students' is part of the college's vision. By making a monthly payroll deduction, I'm doing my small part to not only give back, but also to help 'champion' our students forward as they continue their educational and career path at Central Piedmont.
Shawn's monthly contributions through his paycheck help him feel better connected to the college community. "Our students are what makes Central Piedmont so great," says Shawn. "If my gift helps just one student complete and succeed, it was money well spent."
