“The day starts with students and ends with students.” 

That’s the best piece of advice that Eugene Attoube ’16 has received in his career, and he gets to embody that every day as an academic advisor. 

Attoube has worked at Central Piedmont for nine years, starting part-time in 2014 as a Foreign Language Lab Facilitator. He earned his associate in art degree and transferred to UNC Charlotte in 2017, eventually completing a double major in International Studies and Political Science. 

It’s the culture of the school and the people he meets and works with daily that guides him and helped bring him back to a full-time position with the college. 

“Central Piedmont is my home,” Attoube said. “I am dedicated to mastering my position as academic advisor and further my skills to better serve our students. Central Piedmont has provided training and good management that help meet my goals.” 

Helping students meet their academic goals is Attoube’s number one goal, and he hopes to make the same impact on them as Central Piedmont faculty and staff made on his life when he was a student. 

Attoube particularly enjoys working with students who are learning English, noting the pride he feels when they come back to thank him for contributing to their success. 

“The community and prospective students ought to know that Central Piedmont is a leading force when it comes to providing the best education and training,” he said. “The school has a wide array of programs that suits everybody’s needs and goals.”
