Hartwick Receives $25,000 Kemper Foundation Award

Hartwick College has received a grant from The James S. Kemper Foundation in the amount of $25,000.

The funding will be utilized for a program designed by The Center for Professional Service and Global Engagement staff and faculty from the Humanities Division, titled "Experience New York: the Liberal Arts in Practice." This program will consist of a course for academic credit, an externship at a for-profit business in New York City, and individualized career planning.

Rising sophomore and junior students with financial need who are enrolled in liberal arts disciplines will apply to the program and will be selected based on a minimum 3.0 grade point average, faculty recommendation, the quality of their application, and the strength of their interview. The students who are selected and designated as Kemper Scholars will enroll in the course, be placed at an externship site in New York City, and receive follow-up career advising with the goal of securing a more in-depth internship.
