To make things even more exciting, we turned the drive into a friendly competition—challenging each program to see who could donate the most books, with a fun reward on the line: a pizza party!
After an enthusiastic effort across campus, the Animal Science program emerged as the champion, contributing an amazing nearly 450 books—a truly outstanding achievement!
We are so proud of everyone who participated and helped make a difference. Because of your generosity, hundreds of children will have access to books and the joy of reading. Great job, Coopers Campus! 📚🍕🎉

This initiative reflects more than community service; it highlights the leadership, teamwork, and integrity our students bring to every experience.

We are especially grateful for the support and guidance of Steve Monks, whose impact on this program and our students will not be forgotten. Thanks to his involvement, our students gained meaningful, real-world insight into environmental stewardship and the importance of protecting our waterways. We honor his memory and the lasting difference he made in fostering a love of conservation.

After diving deep into research, students stepped into the past by dressing in period attire and presenting their topics to an audience of nearly 200 students. From Clara Barton and Civil War nurses to life as a soldier, 1800s classrooms, childhood games, and the story of the 54th Massachusetts, their presentations turned history into something students could truly see, hear, and feel.
Along the way, they built valuable skills in research, public speaking, time management, and teamwork—all while bravely stepping outside their comfort zones.
We couldn’t be prouder of their hard work, creativity, and growth. Way to go, Wildwood!

Coopers Campus Cosmetology juniors had an amazing time at a recent event on campus! What started as offering hair tinsel quickly turned into face painting too—and the response was incredible. Lines stretched all the way to the exit doors, keeping everyone busy throughout the event.
Beyond the excitement, the day was filled with meaningful connections. From smiles and conversations to a few heartfelt hugs, students made a lasting impact—one guest even shared they made a new friend. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to grow their skills, build confidence, and connect with the community.
