There are many more people that make the College Office run than just Ms. Binder. I just wanted to take a moment and introduce them. First, is Raydale Blaylock. Ms. Blaylock is a paraprofessional at Beacon who has numerous responisibilities. You may have met her over the last several years if you have needed to replace your metrocard - or have needed working papers, etc. Ms. Blaylock is here to help the College Office run as soothly as possible and is Ms. Binder's right hand in everything she does. If you have a question - she almost always has an answer! Don't be afraid to ask.
Many of you have already met Valerie Cihylik - who is beginning her third year as a volunteer at Beacon. You may remember her if you attended essay writing or college visit workshops. Valerie will be running more of those this fall and spring and she is also wonderful enough to help author our weekly (or semi weekly) College Office Bulletin. Stay tuned for details about upcoming workshops
Also joining the college office are fabulous interns Nicole Levine and Marissa Lifshen. Nicole is currently completing her Masters at NYU and Marissa is studying at Teachers College (Columbia University). They are excellent resources and students should get to know them and ultilize their expertise. Come say hi - they are anxious to get to work!
