By Assemblyman FELICE and

An Assembly Resolution commemorating 25 years of service by Ramapo College of New Jersey as a leading public liberal arts college.

 

Whereas, Ramapo College of New Jersey was created in 1969 to be a new kind of institution, a public liberal arts college; and

Whereas, The college welcomed its first students in September of 1971; and

Whereas, Twenty-five years later, Ramapo College has achieved international recognition as a college of liberal arts education, with outstanding faculty and programs and an increasingly selective student body; and

Whereas, Ramapo College has received recognition from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and from New Jersey officials, and offers an education equivalent to that provided at such fine public liberal arts colleges as Mary Washington College in Virginia, St. Mary's College of Maryland, and The Evergreen State College in Washington State; and

Whereas, Ramapo College has, during its illustrious twenty-five year history, grown steadily in size and reputation while adhering to its original mission of providing quality, affordable liberal arts education; and

Whereas, A quarter century of service is an opportune time to congratulate the college as a leading public liberal arts education institution and renew the State's commitment to the college's founding mission; now, therefore,

 

    Be It Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:

 

    1. This House commemorates 25 years of service by Ramapo College of New Jersey as a leading public liberal arts college.
