This summer more than a hundred students from throughout Union County completed the three-week program which offers teens in grades 9 through 12 opportunities to explore a variety of career choices while experiencing life on a college campus. They are joined by UCC Director Lisa Raudelunas and UCC President Margaret M. McMenamin. The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders sponsors the free program for high school students each summer.
