OPEN LETTER TO PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS
Dear Prospective Member,
On behalf of the Executive Board of the New
Jersey Cooperative Education and Internship Association, I am
delighted to invite you to join our organization. NJCEIA is
celebrating over 30 years in existence in the cooperative
education and internship community. We welcome you to join us
and demonstrate your commitment to experiential education in
higher education.
A piece of our history:
"The New Jersey Cooperative Education &
Internship Association is a professional organization that was
founded in 1973 with the mission of encouraging New Jersey
colleges and universities to adopt the concept of cooperative
education. In its early stages, the Association concentrated on
soliciting support from New Jersey college administrators and
faculty. As a result of this successful effort, cooperative
education programs have become institutionalized in colleges and
universities throughout New Jersey."
NJCEIA is concentrating its efforts on
building partnerships beyond the co-op community, seeking to
bring together all New Jersey experience-based programs and its
employer community. This year our theme is “Honoring the
Past…Embracing the Future.” Exciting programs have been
planned around this theme and we look forward to connecting with
you at these events. As a participating member of NJCEIA you
will have the opportunity to:
l
Network with professionals in the field
l Enhance your
organization’s visibility, in-person and online at NJCEIA.org
l Dialogue with
fellow practitioners and members about issues important to you
and your program
l Discover the
variety and scope of New Jersey’s experience-based programs
l Participate in
workshops, meetings, committees and events
l Identify
colleagues in your area
l Build
partnerships with other colleges, universities and employers
l Connect with
one of New Jersey’s most collegial professional associations
Thank you for your interest! We hope to
see you at one of our future meetings!
Respectfully,
Sue Pye
Vice President for Membership
