TESTIMONIALS
Jared Nofziger
Associate Director of Financial Aid
Northwest State Community College
"Sharr is one of the best leaders I know. I had the privilege of serving with her for three years as she led the AmeriCorps College Completion Coaches program. She came into the Coaches program not knowing much about it, but she learned very quickly what it would take to make this program successful. With her superlative leadership skills and her willingness to listen and learn she grew the Coaches program and made it a successful program state wide. The Coaches program would not be where it is today without Sharr's leadership."
Martin Maliwesky, Ph.D.,
Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs

"As a former colleague at Columbus State Community College I consistently observed Sharmaine's professionalism and dedication to students. Sharmaine combines a strong theoretical background in higher education with a proven ability to translate her vision into an understandable and actionable plan. Sharmaine is a charismatic and caring leader, and was a true asset to the campus community. Based on her personal integrity, commitment to students, and unique professional qualifications, I offer my unqualified endorsement of Sharmaine Pechac."

"Sharmaine is one of a kind: extremely knowledgeable about higher education issues, a very hard worker and a real leader. We worked together at the Ohio Association of Community Colleges for several years. And in that time Sharmaine expertly ran the College Completion Coach program and really made a difference in helping first generation students attain a higher education. I highly recommend Sharmaine and am proud to call her my friend."
