Anne Elshalakany

How many phone calls does one normally receive in a day? Well for Ann Elshalakany, in charge of instructor services and seat availability for the CPS, the average is about fifty. When one includes the daily D130 walk-ins, it is clear that whether live or by phone, Elshalakany answers questions all day long!

“Can you explain the certificate programs to me? How do I register? Am I registered?,” Elshalakany graciously imitates. While admitting that her normal day is quite busy at the CPS front desk, she does not mind at all. In fact, she thinks its fun.

When asked about the most popular classes, Elshalakany confirmed “Most of the sewing and styling classes fill up the quickest, especially ‘Styling Tricks of the Trade: Pinning, Taping, and Clothing Care’.” Even she would love to take the ‘Hand Sewing, Mending, and Alteration Essentials’ class in her spare time. But just as she confessed, Elshalakany looked over again at her monitor, and smiled saying, “That means I better hurry up and  register!"
