Tony Hampton Honored as Outstanding Employee; See Video and Colleagues’ Praises
As part of the Peralta Community College District’s video series on outstanding employees, our own Tony Hampton was interviewed by Chancellor Jowel Laguerre about his stellar work as Network Support Service Specialist at Merritt (click on photo). Tasked with supporting the growing number of Smart Classrooms, he works behind the scenes to make sure technology works to support learning at Merritt College. Dr. Laguerre talked to Tony in the high-tech Barbara Lee Science and Allied Health Center where the largest number of Smart Classrooms are housed.
