Here are a few stories: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Student business helped neighbors in need<\/b><\/h5>\n

As the Covid-19 pandemic changed the way many of us live right now, marketing major Joseph Giglio \u201922<\/strong> saw an opportunity to help. \u201cI started this business just because I noticed an untapped service that people were so desperately in need of,\u201d says Giglio about the launch of\u00a0<\/span>We Shop for You North Jersey<\/span><\/a>, which provides personal shopping services to residents in North Jersey. Despite being furloughed from his part-time job, his entrepreneurial spirit was not the main reason he began the service. \u201cMy sole purpose for this service was doing a positive thing during this pandemic. The money isn’t a huge deal for me but I heard all these stories of people getting ripped off by other delivery services…and decided that something needed to be done.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Faculty fashioned masks<\/b><\/h5>\n

Ramapo Associate Professor of Theater and Costume Design Beba Shamash used fabric from the costume studio on campus to sew masks for the essential workers who continue to do their jobs at the College on a daily basis.
