EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM NEWSLETTER SPRING 2011

eop shining star The Ed ucational Opportunity Program is know n for the support and services it provid es for stud ents. SUN Y Cobleskill EOP alumni rem ain connected to the program w ell after graduation. We find this story to be unique in that, a form er EOP stud ent has d ecid ed to return to SUN Y Cobleskill and give back to the institution that in his w ord s, “gave him so m uch.” Jad e Setias, a young m an w ho started his life journey at SUN Y Cobleskill in the fall of 2004, has succeed ed to such heights. H e is currently an Econom ics Adjunct for the business school at SUN Y Cobleskill. H ere, Jad e Setias d escribes his acad em ic journey and ad vice to current and future stud ents of the Ed ucational Opportunity Program at SUN Y Cobleskill.

My nam e is Jad e Setias and seven years ago, I attend ed SUN Y Cobleskill as freshman as a Business Ad ministration m ajor. At that tim e, like m any EOP stud ents at SUN Y Cobleskill, I had a hard tim e ad justing to college life. Although as tim e w ent on at SUN Y Cobleskill I m ad e great friend s and received a quality ed ucation from the faculty there. Like m any young stud ents I had a hard time in m y acad em ic stud ies. During m y tim e here I alw ays got the sense that m y teachers alw ays cared about how w ell I w as d oing in their class; on top of that, many of the EOP counselors alw ays kept track of me. I rem em ber w hen I w as in SUN Y Cobleskill m y ad visor Mr. Sim pson cam e to one of m y classes telling m e he need ed to see m e about m y grad es. The fact that he confronted m e show ed me he w as concerned and w anted to help m e. I know that m ost of the faculty at SUN Y Cobleskill alw ays care about their stud ents. The people at SUN Y Cobleskill helped m e d iscover w ho I am as w ell as gave m e the support I need ed to further m y ed ucation. With the support EOP and the faculty at SUN Y Cobleskill gave me, I transferred to SUN Y Albany w here I received m y bachelor’s in Econom ics. At UAlbany, I had a hard time ad justing to the bigger school because of the class sizes. Com pared to SUNY Cobleskill w here the average class is 40 stud ents, at UAlbany they have classes w here there are about 60 or m ore stud ents d epend ing on the class. During this time, I turned to the only people I knew w ho could help me ad just better, so I turned to EOP faculty at UAlbany. Once again I found the support I need ed to encourage m e and help m e focus w hat I need ed to d o. After I received m y bachelor’s, I found out that I w as eligible for a grant that w ould help pay for grad uate school because I w as an EOP stud ent. Thanks to the support I received from EOP I currently am finishing up m y m asters d egree in Econom ics and is now preparing for applying for a PhD in public policy. “My advice to EOP students is, no matter how hard it gets you can get through it and do better, no matter w ho you are!”

My Life as a Student Abroad by Fanny Fabre In fall 2010, I had the op p ortu nity to stu d y abroad . The exp erience changed m y life and becau se of it, I w ill never see the w orld as I once d id . My exp erience as an exchange stu d ent in Mexico City w as very d ifferent from w hat you w ou ld exp erience as a vacationer in another cou ntry. I can rem em ber w hen I first started on this jou rney in sp ring of 2010. I attend ed a p rogram on the SUN Y Cobleskill cam p u s that encou raged stu d ents to stu d y abroad and that it w ou ld be an exp erience like no other. I w as intrigu ed and after sp eaking to several p eop le abou t the p ossibility of attend ing college in Mexico City, I w as convinced this w as the right op p ortu nity for m e. I can rem em ber w hen I sent m y ap p lication and registration p ap ers to La Universid ad d e las Am ericas Pu ebla (UDLAP), I w as so excited . I w ent hom e for the su m m er, and sp oke to som e of m y loved ones. They all said they w ere going to m iss m e d early. I knew I w as going to m iss them as w ell. As the su m m er p rogressed and the tim e to leave grew near, I began to have second thou ghts becau se I w ou ld be in a foreign land , d esp ite sp eaking Sp anish flu ently, and I w ou ld really m iss m y loved ones. I told m yself that if I d id not take this leap of fate now , I m ay never have the op p ortu nity to stu d y abroad ever again. I also thou ght abou t the regret I w ou ld feel years from now if I d id not take ad vantage of this op p ortu nity. It w as settled w ithin in m e, “I w ou ld go” and so I d id . When I arrived in Mexico City, I w as am azed at the sights, sou nd s and colors of the cou ntry. What I enjoyed m ost w as the ed u cational exp erience afford ed m e the op p ortu nity to travel to several d ifferent cities w ithin the cou ntry of Mexico. I took ad vantage of every op p ortu nity to travel arou nd the cou ntry. I visited Taxco, Acap u lco, Igu ala, Xalap a, and Cancu n. In each of these p laces I had the good fortu ne of p articip ating in activities I had never before exp erienced . Bu ngee ju m p ing, sw im m ing w ith d olp hins, going to the beach, and w ater rafting w ere ju st a few of the m any activities. The p lace I w ill m iss the m ost is Cancu n. Cancu n is one of the m ost beau tifu l p laces I have ever been. What I enjoyed m ost w as the clear blu e w aters. I fou nd the sea to be a very calm ing and relaxing exp erience.

I really liked and enjoyed the au thentic food of Mexico as w ell. There w as a clear d ifference betw een food from hom e and Mexican cu isine. Althou gh Mexican food is greasy, it has a lot of Mexican sp ices and jalap enos w hich I enjoyed . Tortillas are alw ays p art of the Mexican m eal. What I w ill m iss the m ost are the d eep fried sm all tacos. At the end of the d ay, I am extrem ely hap p y and p rou d of m yself for taking the op p ortu nity. I believe I received tw o ed u cations w hile in Mexico, one in the area of bu siness and the other in Mexican cu ltu re. I w ill recom m end to m y p eers that stu d ying abroad is a a life changing exp erience that shou ld be consid ered . I ap p reciate the op p ortu nity and the encou ragem ent I received from the Stu d ent Su ccess Center, the Office of International Ed u cation and EOP. I recom m end that every stu d ent of every m ajor, that if they have the op p ortu nity to stu d y abroad , they shou ld take it.
