Over 60 middle school and high school students, and their parents, visited the Hudson Valley Community College on Saturday, April 28 to hear information about college preparedness, resume building through extra-curricular activities, cultural diversity, and how technology changes the way we work, live and learn during the second annual Transformation Through Collaboration: Closing The Gap Over the Bridge To Success at Hudson Valley Community College. The program is part of an ongoing effort to spread the word about the abundant academic programs and educational opportunities at Hudson Valley.
Seven Hudson Valley students shared their experiences, and offered encouragement and inspiration to the students during the lunch hour. The students were given a tour of the engineering technologies department before departing.
Louis Coplin, director of EOP and Student Life, said the annual program is another great opportunity to share the wealth of offerings at Hudson Valley while strengthening partnerships with various community and educational organizations. Students and professionals who attended are affiliated with the Capital District YMCA Black & Latino Achievers Program, the Liberty Partnership Program, Albany Boys & Girls Club, Albany Charter School for Girls, and the National Black Child Development Institute.
