"One of the things that we know from working with college students and from research is that with students who succeed, there is a higher percentage of parental involvement in terms of support for those students."--Karen Pennington, vice president for Student Development and Campus Life, in a Jan. 9 article in The Star-Ledger headlined "Parents Play a Key Role." Dennis Craig, director of Undergraduate Admissions, was quoted in the same article. "My experience is that, with students who are best prepared, their parents look at it as a rite of passage. The parents are there to help direct and facilitate the information but they allow their son or daughter to take responsibility and take ownership of the process. They push them to read the information they're sent, and to play an active role in where they are going to get accepted."
"Two years ago every other phone call was an e-commerce inquiry. Now you don't hear that anymore." --Eileen Kaplan, director of the M.B.A. program, in a Dec. 30 article in The Record headlined "MBAs Benefiting Workers Amid a Deluge of Layoffs."
"You'll have hotter summers, more frequent heat waves, milder winters, which might be a good thing...but you'll also see increased sea level rise, which will result in increased flooding." --William Solecki of Earth and Environmental Studies talking about his climate change study to Tom Bergeron of "The Early Show" on Dec. 18. Solecki also was quoted in The Washington Post, Dec. 17, in an article headlined, "Northeast Seen Getting Balmier; Studies Forecast Altered Scenery, Coast." He said, "We will face an increasingly hazardous local environment in this century. We're in transition right now to something entirely new and uncertain."
"We believe that the state needs to be much more deliberate about recruiting quality candidates, especially minority candidates, into teaching."--AdaBeth Culter, dean of the College of Education and Human Services, in a Dec. 13 article in the Trentonian headlined "New Jersey Needs to Recruit Teachers."
