MAHWAH, N.J. 鈥� For the first time since 2019, students gathered in person on the 秘密研究所 campus for the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) Summer Studies Institute. The Institute is a five-week program where highly motivated incoming first-year students who exhibit the potential for success, and who come from families/communities disadvantaged by low income and/or a lack of access to quality educational preparation necessary to attend college, receive an immersive introduction to the college experience.

Seventy-five EOF Scholars, representing 14 counties throughout New Jersey, enrolled in credit-bearing classes in either Critical Reading and Writing or Social Science Inquiry, and enjoyed on-campus housing and meals from July 10 to August 11. At Ramapo, the Institute is free to participants thanks to institutional and state support. Students who successfully complete the EOF Summer Studies Institute also qualify for up to $20,000 in scholarship through the College to support their pursuit of a bachelor鈥檚 degree.

New Jersey Assemblywoman Linda Carter (District 22) was a special guest to the program, lending advice to participants and discussing the importance of service. 鈥淢eeting with the EOF students at 秘密研究所 was a wonderful experience. As an educator, teaching and engaging students is a passion, I hold near and dear,鈥� said Assemblywoman Carter. 鈥淭here is so much admiration to be held for the perseverance of our students, especially given the challenges they have faced during the COVID pandemic. It was an honor to have the opportunity to meet with them. I hope more of my colleagues and others are encouraged to join me in supporting the endeavors of New Jersey’s students to achieve their goals.鈥�

While on campus, the students worked alongside faculty, tutors, mentors, and advisors to adjust to collegiate life. 鈥淚t is energizing and inspiring to welcome to campus our incoming EOF scholars,鈥� said Ramapo President Cindy Jebb. 鈥淎ll of us at Ramapo are committed to student success, and we know that a key ingredient to that success and lifelong achievement is mentorship.鈥�

Participants enjoyed workshops on campus resources including counseling, clubs and organizations, athletics, and the range of wrap-around student services available to students and their families at the public college. They also built mentor relationships and friendships with EOF students already enrolled in the program as well as Ramapo EOF alumni.
