EOP Summer Academy

[Lyndsey Lafountain]

Greetings All!

EOP is gearing up for our Summer Academy and will welcome 85 EOP students
to campus in July.  To be eligible for EOP, one must qualify as
economically disadvantaged according to SUNY EOP Income guidelines, and
priority is given to applicants from historically disadvantaged/underserved
backgrounds.  Many of our students show up with minimal necessities.  We
are reaching out to our Plattsburgh family to see if anyone may be able to
contribute any of the following items:

   1. Bottled water (as we cannot purchase with state funds);
   2. Twin XL sheets/blankets/pillows/pillowcases;
   3. Boxed/portable fans;
   4. laundry detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets;
   5. body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and shower caps;
   6. toothbrush, toothpaste;
   7. Ice pops (it gets hot here in the summer!);
   8. Pads/Tampons;
   9. Deodorant;
   10. Bug Spray/Sunscreen;
   11. Bath Towels/Washcloths;
   12. Duffel Bags/Luggage (could be gently used!)
   13. Portable air conditioners (to be used in public spaces and managed
   by professional staff)

Any assistance and/or contributions are greatly appreciated!

We are also in need of van drivers for our weekend trips and weeknight
shopping trips. We would greatly appreciate it if you would volunteer your
time shuttling students during the weekdays and weekends! Anyone interested
should email Cassie at cchri001 at plattsburgh.edu to be added to a list and
sent information on how to become van-certified/LENS-cleared.

If you can think of any other way to assist or contribute to welcoming our
EOP students to campus this summer, please do not hesitate to let us know!
We look forward to working with many of you in July and the upcoming
academic year to support our newest EOP students.

Best,
The EOP Team
