Roy Pompey, director of the Collegiate Academic Support Program (CASP), received a second community service award in as many weeks. On May 11, Pompey was recognized with the United Sisters of New York, Inc. 2013 “Women Who Rock” Award in recognition of his valuable contributions to making a difference in his community.
United Sisters of New York, Inc., established in 1999, is based in Rensselear. The organization collaborates with other community-based agencies that provide educational, economic and career resources for women of all socie0-economic backgrounds.
Pompey said he was thrilled with the honor that with so many local colleges constantly upgrading their campuses to attract students, it is critical that he continue to use his influences as an educator to be a vehicle for students to attend Hudson Valley Community College. “To meet my goal it is necessary for me to go above and beyond. The most rewarding part of the ceremony was that four of my former students were also award recipients,” Pompey said.
