Eric Johnson, assistant director of Communications for the university's Office of Scholarships and Student Aid is interviewing her for the feature. The Carolina Covenant program provides eligible low-income students with academic and personal support, as well as scholarships, grants and work-study programs to enable them to graduate debt-free. Hammond was one of the first students assisted by the program. She graduated in 2008 with bachelor's degrees in Political Science and Communications. Hammond is now employed as an advisor by the Central Carolina Works program, a public-private partnership of Central Carolina Community College; Chatham, Harnett and Lee school districts; and public and private supporters. It funds the placement of Career and College advisors in each of the public high schools in the three counties. They encourage students to take advantage of the North Carolina Career and College Promise program, which enables them to take college classes tuition-free.
