Students Win National Award in 'Influencing State Policy' Contest

(Mahwah) – A distinguished national panel of social policy educators has awarded the 2003 Influencing State Policy Award in the undergraduate (bachelor of social work) category to students in Prof. Scottie Massimo’s Contemporary Social Policy class at Ramapo College of New Jersey. Their project was a collaborative one in support of New Jersey’s Fairness Alliance Tax Proposal, which was designed to alleviate the state’s budget crisis.

The award is sponsored by the National Influencing State Policy Organization (ISP) and co-sponsored by the National Association of Deans and Directors of Social Work, the Center for Social Development (Washington University, St. Louis), and the Association of Baccalaureate Program Directors (BPD) among others. A cash award and an engraved plague will be presented at the National Social Policy Conference, to be held at the University of South Carolina, August 23-26. Those students contributing to the winning project include:

Tanya Aschenbrand    Valerie Blouin
