In April, D/C publisher Roberta Renard and Jordan Weiss, advertising sales director for the Minority College issue, attended the New Jersey Institute of Technology's annual breakfast to honor scholarship donors. Since the 2003-04 school year, Renard Communications, the parent company of Diversity/Careers, has provided a four-year scholarship for a woman or minority student majoring in a technical area. The scholarship goes to a student in the Alfred E Dorman Honors College, an enrichment program for outstanding students.
Speakers at the breakfast included Dr Robert A. Altenkirch, president of NJIT; Robert W Koar, SVP for Wachovia; and Dr Charles R. Dees, Jr, NJIT VP for university advancement, who heads development programs. Students Jariah Baker, an engineering major, and André Pause, an architecture major, also spoke.
A number of major corporations that provide scholarships sent representatives to the breakfast, including CH2M Hill, Panasonic, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Schering-Plough, UPS and Wachovia Bank.
