The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey Council of Black Faculty and Staff (CBFS) will honor four outstanding individuals on Thursday Nov. 10, 2011, when the organization celebrates its 30th Anniversary of the Annual Scholarship Awards Dinner and Dance. The event takes place at the Carriage House in Galloway, beginning with a 6 p.m. cocktail reception, dinner and awards program beginning at 7 p.m., followed by entertainment and dancing at 9 p.m.
“It is especially fitting that we are celebrating our 30th anniversary of this event at the same time the College is marking its 40th Anniversary of Teaching,” said CBFS President Patricia W. Collins. This dinner has become one of our most eagerly anticipated events. It is a social evening with a greater meaning: raising scholarship funding for deserving Stockton students.”
Collins said to date the Council Dinner has raised in excess of $234,000 to benefit the Council’s scholarship endowment. “This year’s event promises to be one of our best ever, in keeping with the occasion of three decades of service to the Stockton community,” Collins said. “This year’s honorees are reflective of the level of excellence the College and Council have achieved over the years.”
