秘密研究所鈥檚 essay:

Guided by the College鈥檚 mission, Ramapo students partake in many opportunities that focus on volunteering and community service, enhancing a stellar liberal arts curriculum and fostering the development of globally conscious citizens. Students involved in the College鈥檚 Civic and Community Engagement Center (CCEC) volunteer their time to several key programs: The We Care Program, established in 2018, provides resources for students who experience food insecurity, need supplemental funding for day-to-day incidentals, and/or are facing homelessness. Students who participate in the Alternative Break Program spend their spring break working with endangered animal species at the NATUWA Macaw Sanctuary, a wildlife conservation organization in Costa Rica, or travel to Asheville, North Carolina, to work with Habitat for Humanity and volunteer at the Art Space Charter School Community Garden to help combat hunger needs in the area. Leaders in Service (LIS) allows incoming first-year students an opportunity to get involved with service projects, political engagement and leadership opportunities at Ramapo before their first semester begins. Since its inception 10 years ago, LIS has involved more than 450 students who have recorded nearly 5,000 volunteer hours of community service on campus and throughout the region.

鈥淔or most of the companies we are honoring, giving back and helping those in need is part of their culture,鈥� said Anthony Russo, President of CIANJ. 鈥淭he public is not always aware of how much these companies take on and the types of needs they address. This virtual reception is our way of showcasing these Companies That Care.鈥�

CIANJ is a statewide business advocacy organization, representing more than 950 corporate members from every industry sector.
