Advisor

Maria Sanchez

I have been serving RVCC for five years. I live in Raritan. My title is EOF Director for the EOF program. EOF stands for Educational Opportunity Fund which is a state grant for students who come from low income households. During the spring semester, I visit the different high schools to recruit for my program and run a six week summer program for them during the summer time here at RVCC. During the fall and spring semester most of what I do is advising and counseling these students in addition to administrative duties.
