What Peggy Loves about SPC

Peggy loves working for the faculty and has done so for nearly 20 years. Because of them, she has been consistently learning new things and challenging herself. She is never bored!

What SPC Loves about Peggy

In addition to Peggy being conscientious about her work, I never heard Peggy complain about any task. She was always anxious to be helpful and never seemed to mind going the extra mile to get a particular job done. Her good humor and pleasant demeanor are infectious.

She is the perfect addition to our department, and is a dedicated employee not only to the Accountancy department, but to the entire College.

Peggy Greenwood is a collegiate treasure. She exemplifies what is best about SPC: a person who is highly competent and truly caring. An absolute delight to work with, Peggy is friendly, helpful, and uniquely willing to adapt her job to serve the needs of the College community. Peggy is one of the few people in whom I can find no fault, negative quality, or deficiency.

Peggy After Hours

Peggy is a life-long resident of Jersey City where she lives with her Brooklyn-born husband, William. She enjoys spending time with her two children and their spouses and especially her granddaughter, Heather. She enjoys quilting which she learned taking an evening course at the College. She also enjoys puzzles, especially her newfound obsession, Suduko.

Peggy’s Wishes

Peggy’s wish is that as the College continues to grow, it never loses its friendly atmosphere of a place where “everybody knows your name.” Cheers Peggy!
