Thanks to our @durhamtech Esthetics students and faculty who made this happen and said thank you to our first responders and 911 dispatchers. Much deserved. #DoGreatThings

[Durham Tech @durhamtech]

Today, our Esthetics students proudly offered free treatments to 911 dispatchers and first responders as a small thank you for their incredible service & dedication. As we pause to reflect on the tragic events of 9/11 may we never forget the lives lost and the heroes who emerged.
