Posted on July 2, 2013 - Posted in: Blog

A CW team of students, staff, and a graduate traveled to Albany to meet with New York State legislators about the importance of funding from the state Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). Students Jenny Arpi, Alexis D’Ambrosio, Etosha Dawson, and Balbino Rodriguez were joined by graduate Jessica Perilla, New Student Financial Assistance Counselor Perry Brown, and Assistant Director for Student Activities Terry Keyes in offering testimonials about the invaluable support TAP provides students across the state. Lawmakers and their staff expressed appreciation for the conversations and pledged to do their best to see TAP funding continue.
