122 students were admitted to college last year as a result of a program that offered them mentoring and individual relationships with a caring adult. Many of these students grew up in homes where college would otherwise have been an impossible dream. This program was operated by Operation Link up at Eastside & Kennedy High Schools in Paterson, and was part of the Building Young Tomorrows focus area.
