Barnes and Noble Presents Book Store Awards to C.W. Post
Students
November 2, 1998 -- Five students from the C.W. Post Campus of Long
Island University in Brookville recently received C.W. Post Book Store
Awards of $300 each to help pay for textbooks and school supplies. The
monetary awards are sponsored by the well-known Barnes and Noble bookstore
chain.
The winners are Mary McCarthy of Flushing, an art therapy major; Kerry
McManus of Mebane, NC, a communication arts major; Erica Bandow of Locust
Valley, a sociology major; Elisamuel Dejesus of Deer Park, an art major;
and Lillian Finelli of Huntington, a psychology major.
The Campus bookstore, which is run by Barnes and Noble, initiated the
program to assist C.W. Post students who receive limited institutional
financial aid. To be eligible for the award, students must also demonstrate
a commitment to higher education, academic achievement and financial need.
"We are so proud to be able to provide the tools necessary for these
students to succeed," said Jennifer Losordo, Manager of the C.W. Post
Campus Bookstore.
"Our students are extraordinarily hardworking and many juggle their
school work with part-time and full-time jobs to help cover college costs,"
said Dr. Pamela Lennox, Associate Provost for Campus Services at C.W. Post.
"We hope these monetary awards will make achieving their dreams a
little easier."
