SUPPORTING Reflections from a Donor “I came from a family of educators. There was never any doubt that my brother, sister and I would attend college, but there was great concern about paying for it. Just when I needed to make PERSONAL a decision about which college to attend, the University of Nancy K. Maulding with her first Evansville, where my father was a professor of mathematics, scholarship recipient Kyle Robbins made the announcement that children of the faculty could attend the college, tuition free. That was wonderful news. After “I am a first-generation American and the first member of my my father retired, my parents started a scholarship for a family to go to college. I was raised by a single mother who mathematics student at the university.

Sanofi and RVCC Forge Partnership to Benefit Students

“Scholarship has made all the difference. It amazes me that For over a decade, the global pharmaceutical company Sanofi provided support to RVCC for its Galileo Scholars program for students there were individuals out there who never met me, never heard my life story, but were willing to support me financially majoring in science, technology, engineering, environmental science, and math. Galileo Scholars receive scholarship support and also so I could stay in school. That is the beauty of RVCC and that work with advisors and engage in discussions, seminars, workshops, and other events designed specifically for them. is the beauty of our donors. One day I will give back to RVCC because RVCC once gave to me.” After a brief hiatus, Sanofi’s Corporate and Social Responsibility office on the Bridgewater campus reestablished a relationship with the College in 2015 to support STEM projects. With a grant for $15,000 from the Sanofi Foundation for North America, RVCC was able to Melanye Nunez ’16, Recipient of the Robert Sydney Needham Scholarship, Roman Jewelers Scholarship, 3M-EOF Scholarship award 10 students Galileo scholarships in 2015.

In the spring 2015, Sanofi’s Vice President and NA Chief Information Officer Cindy Conde participated on a panel for the TD Bank Student Leadership Series. “Visiting RVCC and speaking on a Women in Leadership panel was a great experience. I was impressed with the number of students who attended, as well as the richness of their questions. It’s invigorating to see students with such ambition,” she said. Sanofi experts also plan to give presentations at RVCC’s weekly Science Seminar Series.

“Through these efforts, the Sanofi Foundation for North America has demonstrated its continued commitment to our local New Jersey community, to diversity and inclusion, and to skills-based volunteerism, further enhancing our mission,” said John Spinnato, Vice President, North America Corporate Social Responsibility.

Vibrant Hub for Student, Faculty, and Community Engagement Since its doors first opened in February 2014, the Ray Bateman Center for Student Life and Leadership has become a vibrant hub for student and faculty engagement. Members of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society and other clubs meet regularly in designated office space; students congregate in the open space on the second floor to collaborate on projects or study quietly; and the Atrium has been used for impressive student and faculty presentations that have engaged the entire College community.

“More than 700 individuals, corporations, and foundations have contributed over $2.1 million dollars to what is the most ambitious capital campaign in the College’s history,” explained Capital Campaign Committee Chair Richard Schaub. “The campaign continues, and we welcome the participation of new donors to help us raise funds to STEM Expansion repay the Boards of Chosen Freeholders of Somerset and Hunterdon In 2002, Raritan Valley Community College built the Christine Counties and to finish the third floor.” Todd Whitman Science Center to house biology, biotechnology, “Our vision is to dedicate the third-floor to service learning activities,” chemistry, physics, and engineering laboratories, as well as notes RVCC President Michael McDonough. “One of the very a lecture hall that provides interactive centers for teaching cornerstones of Raritan Valley Community College’s purpose and using technology.
