CSE Director Teri Corso Honored by NEASEA

Teri Corso, director of career services at the College of Saint Elizabeth, 2 Convent Road, Morristown, N.J., is the recipient of the Robert Gallione, Jr., District Representative of the Year Award, presented by the Northeast Association of Student Employment Administrators (NEASEA) at their annual conference held August 1 to 4, 2010, in Annapolis, Md.

NEASEA is a nonprofit association of professionals involved with programs for students who work while attending college. NEASEA members are professionals from educational institutions, business, industry, labor and government who have an interest in the employment of students on a part- or full-time basis and who support on-campus and off-campus student work programs including community service, cooperative education programs, internship and summer employment programs. Corso, a resident of Stillwater, N.J., has been a member of NEASEA since 2001 and a district representative for the past two years for District 4, which encompasses western Connecticut, downstate New York, northern New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

“Teri Corso is a wonderful example of what a district representative should be,” says Jennifer Heller, vice president of membership for NEASEA. “She involves current NEASEA members, goes out of her way to contact non-members and invite them to her meetings, therefore advertising and getting non-members involved in the organization, and invites speakers to her meetings that are relevant to today’s student employment professional. She is active in our organization. I hope that when her term as a district representative is up, she will consider staying active as a part of our organization.”

Corso has been at CSE since 2008. Prior to coming to the College, she was director of career services at Bloomfield College. She is a graduate of Centenary College where she earned a master’s degree in leadership and public administration and from Bloomfield College where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and a diversity training certificate.

Sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, Convent Station, New Jersey, the College of Saint Elizabeth enrolls more than 2,100 full- and part-time students in 25 undergraduate, 10 graduate and one doctoral degree programs.
