Centenary Awarded $2.2 Million Through the Higher Education Capital Financing Grant
Hackettstown, N.J., May 2, 2013 - Earlier this week, Governor Christopher Christie announced that 176 projects were sent to the Legislature in connection with the first statewide, voter-approved higher education capital construction in 25 years. Centenary College was awarded $2,267,000 for two such projects.
"Centenary College has many projects in the pipeline that we simply could not afford to pursue on our own," says Dr. Barbara-Jayne Lewthwaite, Centenary College President. "The Building Our Future Bond, along with the programs to be funded by the New Jersey Educational Facilities Authority, will allow us to make needed investments in essential academic facilities, improving the already high-quality education that Centenary College delivers. I would like to thank everyone who helped make this a reality, especially the voters in New Jersey who approved the Bond. You demonstrated that you believe in quality higher education in this state."
The funds awarded to Centenary will help build state-of the-art Biology, Chemistry and Physics laboratories. In addition, some of the funds will purchase laboratory equipment for Centenary College’s new Environmental Science Center at the Charles O. Hayford Fish Hatchery. The Environmental Science Center will open on May 9, 2013. Further, Centenary will be able to address classroom accessibility. Elevators will be built in two buildings: Trevorrow Hall and the Edward W. Seay Administration Building. All projects are expected to be completed by September 2014.
"This is an exciting time in higher education in this State," says Dr. Lewthwaite. "I would like to thank Governor Christie, Secretary Hendricks and everyone who was involved giving the higher education community this much-needed attention and support."
All the way to Mars.

Mary-Catherine Snook, a resident of Bridgewater and a student of Centenary's School of Professional Studies, was one of 26 Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) members chosen for a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) program. This program included travel to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, to develop a prototype vehicle to roam Mars.
The program, entitled the National Community College Aerospace (NCAS) program, is open to students enrolled in non-traditional programs, such as Centenary’s adult accelerated program.
Students must first complete a rigorous eight-week online course that includes the planning and design of a Space Mission. Then, based on their applications, letters of recommendation for the program and a minimum grade requirement of 94%, students are then invited to take part in a three-day on-site program at one of the NASA facilities.
Snook completed the course with a final grade of 96%.
Congratulations, Mary-Catherine, for your truly inspiring accomplishment.
