SUNY Potsdam Honors CSTEP/TOC Graduate Elsie Castro of Bronx

2013 Jun 13

The SUNY Potsdam Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program and the College's Teacher Opportunity Corps recently honored more than 30 graduates.

Graduating students from the CSTEP and TOC programs were lauded for their academic achievements. The students who attended each invited a faculty or staff member who had been significant to their academic success, to share in the celebration. The reception was hosted at the home of Christine and John Lancaster.

The students included Elsie Castro of Bronx, N.Y., who earned a Bachelor of Arts in childhood/early childhood education, and participated in the TOC program at SUNY Potsdam.
