淫性视频 to Offer EOF Program at Atlantic City Campus
Galloway, NJ - More local students will have the opportunity to participate in 淫性视频鈥檚 Educational Opportunity Fund program under a new EOF-AC program approved by the state EOF Board at its meeting at Rider University in Lawrenceville Friday.
淫性视频鈥檚 new EOF-AC program will accept up to 50 students, and will be housed primarily in 淫性视频鈥檚 new Atlantic City campus, which will open in the fall of 2018.
Student recruitment is statewide, but will focus heavily on Atlantic City and Pleasantville. An effort will also be made to reach students who are aging out of foster care and need additional support to attend college.
The EOF program was established by the state of New Jersey to provide assistance in attending college to promising young men and women from economically and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. The program provides some financial aid, but also ongoing mentoring and academic support to help students succeed and become leaders in their communities.
鈥淭his is more than hard work, this is heart work,鈥 Maralyn Mason, director of 淫性视频鈥檚 EOF program, said in thanking the EOF board for the approval.
淫性视频鈥檚 EOF program draws on a vision of Dignity, Intensity and Pride that seeks to help students become civic-minded and productive citizens and leaders.
淫性视频 President Harvey Kesselman, who directed 淫性视频鈥檚 EOF program in the early 1980s, said he is proud and excited that 淫性视频 can now offer the EOF program to more local students.
鈥淭he new EOF-AC program will be a gateway to opportunity for the young people who will be our region鈥檚 future leaders,鈥 Kesselman said. 鈥淥ur EOF students enrich our campus and we look forward to welcoming a new cohort of young men and women who will also be actively involved in revitalizing Atlantic City and South Jersey.鈥
淫性视频 currently has more than 350 students in its EOF program, many of whom have become active leaders through student clubs, community organizations, Student Senate, and as Student Trustees. Deon Davis, an Atlantic City High School graduate is currently the alternate Student Trustee on the 淫性视频 Board of Trustees.
鈥淭he EOF has given me the opportunity to explore options and develop as a professional,鈥 Davis said. 鈥淵ou get to make connections and invest in yourself.鈥
The EOF-AC will integrate the program鈥檚 ideals directly into students鈥 course of study. Participants will be encouraged to consider 淫性视频鈥檚 Liberal Arts degree with a specialization in civic engagement and community leadership.
Students will get learning opportunities in their local schools and communities so they can translate academic learning into real-world experiences and create a professional network for future professional development and employment.
State EOF funding will provide almost $57,000 for the spring 2018 semester to support recruiting and start-up costs for the new program. 淫性视频 will receive $75,000 to fund the program in 2018-19.
