"Michele is most deserving," said Surgical Technology program head Jimi Spears. "She always puts other's needs before her own. She is a pleasure in the classroom."

McMahon graduated third in her class at East Duplin High School. She is currently enrolled in the Computer Programming curriculum and has a grade point average of 3.98. She received the Mary P. Booth scholarship and is a member of Phi Theta Kappa. She was also awarded the All American Scholar and was a marshal for LCC.

"She is an outstanding employee who always strives for perfection, " Controller Deborah Sutton said. "She is always willing to alter her personal schedule to suit the needs of the business office. When given a task, she always does it accurately and professionally. I am personally glad that she is a student at LCC."
