On Point for College Celebration

Herkimer College staff and students recently attended the On Point for College Celebration, held at Daniele’s in Utica, to recognize community partners, build awareness and celebrate transforming lives as well as community. For the past 15 years, On Point for College has helped more than 5,000 first-generation youth to get into college. Herkimer College staff work closely with On Point for College counselors to provide support services to these students.
