“We’re grateful for this generous grant that will assist in our efforts to transition non-traditional students within the community seeking a fresh start, educational guidance and support,” says Veronica A. Oxford, Associate Director, Center for Women and Men, a part of DSC’s Division of Alternative Student Services. The Center serves hundreds of Volusia and Flagler county residents each year.
Bank of America’s Aracelis Ventura presented the check with associates Brian Simonette and Delia-Ann Callender. Ms. Oxford received the check along with DSC Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Amy Locklear and Dean of the Division of Alternative Student Services Dr. Katrina Bell.
“The social and economic benefits of employment have been proven time and time again, providing confidence, optimism and stability to our families,” said Cindy Politis, East Central Florida Market President, Bank of America. “Our philanthropic investments are one way that we’re working to connect individuals in our community to the resources they need to lead financially stable lives.”
The Center for Women and Men promotes the achievement of educational, professional and personal goals of a diverse student population through the development and implementation of programs that offer flexible, individualized and supportive services. The Center’s programs include Fresh Start for individuals who aspire to pursue career and technical education (CTE), New Directions provides qualified students with uniform and tuition assistance, child-care assistance through the Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS), a book loan library and a Clothes Closet to help with career attire.
