careers most closely parallel their own particular interests.
AADC Extern Program
Receives Lipman Award
March 2005 -- The Extern Program has won The Senator
Wynona M. Lipman Award for an outstanding community organization
in the category of Mentoring.
Presented by The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs' Divison
on Women and the New Jersey Advisory Commission on the Status of
Women, this competitive award is named in honor of the late Senator
Wynona M. Lipman; the first African American woman elected to the
New Jersey State Senate and champion of causes for women, minorities
and children while serving in the legislature.
The AADC Extern Program prepares future leaders, by connecting students
with alumnae mentors who share their professional experience and
allow students to "try on a career for size."
Congratulations to our AADC Alumnae Relations Directors Debbie Spenard
and Martie Record for their outstanding work and to our Extern Committee
members who give tirelessly to the program.
