Vernon Buck Gives A Snapshot of Educational Opportunity Program's Early Success
1973 October 22
In a meeting with the Albany Student Press and Student Association President Steve Gerber, EOP director Vernon Buck provides a statistical breakdown of the EOP's achievements to date. Of the 168 students who began the program in 1968, more than 100 had already graduated; 45 of the graduates were continuing their education in graduate programs at SUNY Albany, as well as 3 who were pursuing a doctorate. Buck emphasizes that the student association for EOP students, the EOPSA, is as distinct and autonomous of an organization from the EOP as the Student Association is to the administration.
