Alexander Valencia Performing Musical Therapy Alexander Valencia believes that he is truly blessed. Not only is he an extremely talented musician and student at Kean University, but he is also a recipient of the Wilf Family Foundation Scholarship. The senior music major, who serves as a volunteer piano teacher and music director at the United Latin American Pentecostal Church in North Bergen, New Jersey, has also been a featured artist at numerous on-campus performing arts programs. Valencia, one of the twelve annual Wilf Family Foundation Scholarship awardees, is an advocate of education, who enjoys sharing the therapeutic benefits of his music with others. “I believe music is an antidote to stress, daily worries, depression and many other emotional conditions that affect us everyday,” states Valencia. “My goal is to get all of the available tools to enrich my knowledge and give back to my community.” Kean University Foundation Annual Report 2008 14 Scholarship Fact: Established by longtime Kean University Trustee Joseph Wilf and his family, the scholarship is annually granted to 12 students with a minimum 3.0 GPA.
Working on a Dream As a wife and the mother of five, Noelia Garcia already has what many people would consider a full-time job in itself. However, beyond these tremendous responsibilities on the home front, she finds time to attend Kean University, where she works toward receiving a degree in Spanish with the ultimate goal of becoming a K-12 Spanish teacher. All of these circumstances, in addition to her outstanding academic background, earned her the Charlotte W. Newcombe Scholarship for Mature Women. “In my role as a spouse and parent, I have come to develop a high degree of responsibility before the challenging trends of life,” states Noelia. “This unique qualification united with my natural endurance, is helping me through my Kean University educational program.” During 2007-08, Newcombe Scholarships averaging $2,270 were awarded to 542 women at thirty-one colleges and universities. In the past year, the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation has contributed $35,000 to the Kean University Foundation. Noelia Garcia and Thomas N. Wilfred, executive director of the Charlotte W.
