Summary
Ventnor City recognized two high school students with Levine Gormley STEM scholarships; Lee Levin and others highlighted ACIT's college-credit pathways and regional workforce connections during a brief presentation to the commission.
The Ventnor City Commission opened its July 9 meeting by recognizing two local students as winners of the Levine Gormley STEM scholarship. Mayor Kriegel introduced Senator Gormley and Lee Levin, who joined commission members to present certificates of academic achievement.
Lee Levin told students and their families that the scholarships reflected long-term investment in local education paths and emphasized how Atlantic County programs such as ACIT let students start college credit while in high school.
