Military Families: A Struggle on the Homefront


The Women's Resource Center presents:

Military Families: A Struggle on the Homefront
Monday, March 10th at 8:30 PM
Pirate's Cove, University Center


Come, meet & learn from families who have loved ones stationed abroad. The deployment of troops affects family members in a variety of work places as well as children in schools.

This program seeks to better understand the affects of war from a domestic perspective and what we can do to be of further support to those going through this challenge.

Another successful KDP Program!


Thank you to all faculty, KDP members and Education students who participated in Xi Gamma's Purposeful Learning in the 21st Century program featuring New Jersey's Teacher of the Year for 2007-2008, John Kline.

A special thanks to Professor Lauren McFadden for engaging several class sections to participate and benefit from the resources given. A total of 50 participants attended.
