HESAA Recognizes College of the Arts Alumnus

Gabrielle Charette, Esq., executive director of the State of New Jersey’s Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA), recently commended 2014 Montclair State University College of the Arts graduate, Nicholas Patriarca, for his work with the Authority.

“I write to advise you of how impressed my team and I are with one of your recent graduates,” wrote Charette in a letter to Montclair State University President Susan A. Cole praising the Communication Studies major.

Patriarca is working full time at HESAA this summer with the Authority’s communications director. He is working to develop and launch a social media program to ensure that the Authority is communicating effectively with its various constituent groups and utilizing all available communication venues.

“HESAA is delighted to have Nick with us this summer, and Montclair should be proud of the caliber of this graduate,” Charette wrote. “Thank you for the excellent work you do of educating New Jersey students.”
