| Dear Members and Friends:
October is the month
of harvest, colors and cooler nights.
It is also the month of our annual Open House (October 12th,
3:00 p.m. at the Hickory Corner Library), the first festive
celebration of the CJNBW calendar.
This year’s Open
House will feature a lecture by Dr. L. Diane Campbell, Dean for
Student and Academic Services at Mercer County Community College.
Dean Campbell is also responsible for the Virtual Campus, and
she has developed a wide reputation in New Jersey and nationally for
her expertise in web-based course delivery.
Diane Campbell is a good friend of the “Network,” and we
are confident that her remarks to us will be motivating and
educational.
The other exciting
part of the Open House program will be the presentation of book
support awards to seven (7) women who are “non-traditional”
college students. All of our awardees have overcome barriers to achieve their
college educations, and all of them have earned high GPA’s,
including being on the Dean’s List.
This is the third year that CJNBW has assisted full-time
students who attend one of the central New Jersey colleges, and we
are proud and grateful to help these ambitious and courageous women.
Let us make every
effort to support our awardees, to hear our speaker, and to network. Invite a friend and a young person to meet these women, and
Dr. Campbell, whose own “story” is an education in itself.
Peace,
Noreen
Lois
