Cranford Radio Update for the Week of May 30
Union County College Foundation Helps Deserving Students Get An Education 🎓
In a previous episode I featured an episode where UCNJ was a finalist for the prestigious Aspen Prize, an award which recognizes the best two-year colleges in the nation. One of the criteria used in the selection process is the school’s graduation rate. In recent years, UCNJ has made dramatic improvements in its graduation rate. One way it’s done that is through the Union County College Foundation. Join me this week as I speak with Doug Rouse, who leads the foundation.
