Melissa Baron, director of Westminster College’s student health care facility, has earned the American College Health Association’s (ACHA) Ollie B. Moten Award.

BURLINGTON CITY First Lady Jill Biden visited a city elementary school to see firsthand how the $1.9 trillion economic stimulus plan will help communities across America.
The stop at Samuel Smith Elementary School was one of the first of President Joe Biden’s “Help is Here” tour stops, a nationwide effort to tout the American Rescue Act, the $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill the president signed into law last week.
She was joined by Gov. Phil Murphy, U.S. Sens. Cory Booker, Robert Menendez, U.S. Rep. Andy Kim and other local elected officials.
“What I want you to know is this: we are going to safely open schools. We are going to get people back to work. We are going to lift up the families who are struggling to get by, and we re going to be stronger than ever. That s what the American Rescue Plan is all about,” Biden said following a tour of the school.
