BY ALEX MITCHELL
Bronx Community College President
Thomas A. Isekenegbe and
Provost Lester Rápalo today have
showed that distance learning can
still be a personal experience.
Those two administrators along
with four others from the college
hand delivered technology and
other devices to ten students’ homes
as they all prepare for a semester of
distance learning in an event called
“Operation Device Drop.”
“2020-2021 Academic year begins
on Wednesday @DrLRapalo
and I are on #BCCOperationDeviceDrop
bringing devices to our
students who need them. Student
Chinenye Owuamana was our student
to receive a device this morning,
said Isekenegbe on Twitter.
“Braving the challenges of life
during a pandemic to launch an
academic career at BCC is a real
sign of personal strength,” Isekenegbe
said.
The school noted that these ten
students are representative of hundred
of other students who are getting
loaner devices essential to distance
learning during COVID-19.
“This is our way of saying ‘thank
you,’ and giving not just these devices
but also our best wishes for
the exciting journey ahead. Before
the pandemic, I would stand at the
college gate and greet each student
at the start of the school year. This
is a small way to recapture that
feeling of community,” the president
added.
Further lifting students’ spirits,
BCC shirts, pens and other “swag”
was also delivered by the college
welcome wagon.

said on Aug. 24.
Rápalo explained that many of
the students receiving electronic
equipment are international while
others participate in BCC programs
like athletics, college discovery and
accelerated study in
associate programs.
“We will hand them a device
and personally welcome
them to Bronx Community College.
We’re very thrilled with
this opportunity to show freshmen
that we care and that we
are committed to their success,”
the provost said.
