On July 21, a team of college personnel presented an academic enrichment workshop to Albany High School students participating in the City of Albany Police Athletic League (PAL) Summer Enrichment Program.
Sixteen students learned about what Hudson Valley Community College can offer them from staff in the Admissions Office, Center for Academic Engagement (CAE), Center for Access & Assistive Technology (CAAT), Center for Career & Transfer and the Athletics Department.
The event was part of the Student Affairs Community Outreach and Recruitment Project that’s designed to reach out to and engage community, educational, refugee and faith-based organizations in the Capital District.
“I’m always impressed with the expertise of our staff, but was especially impressed with the students,” Louis Coplin, vice president for Student Affairs, said. “They were very attentive and asked very important questions.” He added, “The goal of the program is to support other campus enrollment and recruitment strategies. We plan to take this recruitment strategy on the road and to visit a different community site each month.”
Special appreciation to staff members: Elise Chan, Admissions Office; Ann Petersen; CAAT Office; Andy Roberts, CAE; Don Jones, Head Football Coach, and Anne Greenwood, Center for Career & Transfer.
