That's awesome!!!! I got the news via Twitter; her name is Lyndsay Wright, and she was featured in an article entitled "In Their Own Words". That's right--in OUR own words, the words of us, the students who attend Berkeley College. And a few of us did not mince words over the cutting of the TAG for Berkeley College. This is an unfortunate decision that the governor of New Jersey has chosen to make; many students cannot afford to attend college without some type of financial assistance. Berkeley students are no different; many of us work in addition to receiving aid, and we're raising families, as well. Hopefully, the state will reconsider this action.
But getting back to Ms. Wright and our very own Carol Allen-Covino, this deserves mention, because as was pointed out in the article, we help to recruit students, in a way. We're their commercial of sorts, talking about all of the different classes and activities to get involved in (such as the student polls on Blackboard and online student clubs and class trips to various locations throughout the NY/NJ area). We express our concerns over grades and trouble areas in certain classes, but not in a way that may put a prospective student off; we will always find a way to talk about a problem without berating the person(s) involved.
So I just wanted to take this time out to say congratulations to Ms. Wright for her write-up in The Star-Ledger; she has done us here at Berkeley College proud.
