On April 7, the Educational Opportunity Center held its annual Employer Recognition Breakfast celebrating 50 years of service with representatives of almost 90 Capital Region businesses and organizations that employ or support our students becoming employed.
Also in attendance were NYS Senator Neil Breslin; Jason Lane, vice provost for Academic Planning and Strategic Leadership and senior associate vice chancellor for the State University of New York; Lisa McKay, senior assistant provost and director of SUNY’s University Center for Academic and Workforce Development (UCAWD), and Hudson Valley Community College President Drew Matonak.
State Senator Kathleen Marchione was unable to attend, but sent her wishes and a legislative proclamation congratulating the Capital District EOC on its 50 years of service.
Doug Ivey, an EOC alumni and a current cosmetology instructor, spoke to the audience, thanking them for their support of our students.
The EOC is celebrating its 50 years of service with activities all year culminating in a gala event to be held on Oct. 14, 2016 at the Franklin Plaza in Troy.
