Carole Campana Endowed Scholarship
“I used to marvel at students’ enthusiasm for Carole Campana’s classes and their willingness to take several of her courses despite long reading lists, dreaded final exams and exacting standards,” says Lee Sennish, founding director of the Women’s Center at Ramapo. “ ‘What is her magic formula?’ I often wondered. Now, as a friend of many years, I know that this magic is nothing less than a passion and excitement for teaching, combined with a genuine and ongoing interest in her students, an enthusiasm for team teaching and a joy for developing new classes.” Carole Campana was a member of the founding faculty at Ramapo, joining the College as a professor of Psychology in 1971. Upon Dr. Campana’s retirement in 2001, Lee Sennish spearheaded an effort to raise funds to start an endowed scholarship named in Carole’s honor. Professor Campana passed away in 2021.
The Campana award is intended to recognize committed students with financial need who are majoring in Psychology or Social Work.
