Carlos Linares - Lexington Alumnus of the Month

Carlos Linares, a 2008 MBA graduate, has been selected as the February 2010 “Alum of the Month” for the Lexington campus. He described hisCarlos Linares - Lexington Alum of the Month selection as an unexpected honor.

Carlos currently works for the government in Frankfort “helping people who are facing financial and economic problems,” he explained.

Part of his desire to help reflects the encouragement he himself found at Sullivan.

“The people believe in me at Sullivan," Carlos revealed. "I started with a little knowledge of English. They pushed me going forward all the time to do my best.”

One of those pushing him forward was his favorite professor, Ken Miller, who Linares credits with giving him the edge to perform in his current job. His favorite class was Dr. Miller’s Quantitative Methods.

The MBA is actually Linares' second advanced degree. He is planning on pursuing a PhD in Economics soon.

Sherry Barron - Fort Knox Alumnus of the Month

Sherry Barron is the February Alumnus of the Month for the Fort Knox campus. Sherry earned her Associate of Science degree in Accounting in June 2009.

She chose accounting for two main reasons: first, she believed it would make her more competitive when applying for jobs and second, she previously worked at a third-party payroll processing company.

She would like to eventually work within the payroll accounting field but at this time is concentrating on completing her bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Leadership.

Sherry’s favorite class was the payroll accounting class since she had prior knowledge of the material and it is a subject she enjoys.

The Fort Knox office staff, instructors, and fellow students are her fondest memory of her time here because “everyone has always been friendly, helpful, and truly caring of one another”.

At this time she is not using her accounting degree, choosing instead to be a full-time mother to her children while her husband is deployed and a full-time student working towards earning her bachelor’s degree.

Her advice to current students is to set realistic goals and to always remember what you are working towards. She stated that students learn so much more by being actively involved in the classroom and on the discussion boards and that if a student needs help they should not hesitate to ask for it.

Congratulations Sherry on your accomplishments thus far and for being named our February Alumnus of the Month! We hope your husband comes home safely and we wish you continued success in your studies.

"Update on Timothy Tucker"

We first reported on Timothy Tucker's great work with the Salvation Army a while back, but it seems as though his story is just too good. He is one of several chefs discussed in the 8/27/09 edition of USA Today.


 

For your convenience, here is our original writeup of Tucker's great story.

After a career of working in some of America's top restaurants, Tim has come home and is working at the Salvation Army cooking for up to 400 homeless people a day and leading the Salvation Army Culinary Training program.  A program which empowers aspiring chefs with the skills they need to make a new start and improve their lives. Chef Tucker credits John Castro, Sullivan University faculty member, executive chef of Winston’s and one of his culinary mentors, for motivating him to help others develop their creative skills.
