Lifelong borough resident and 17-year-old Collingswood High School senior Caitlin Cline is finally embarking on the career she's dreamed about since age 8. "My dad was diagnosed with cancer when I was 8 years old," said Cline of her father, who is still battling the disease today. "And as a little girl, I used to go with my dad to his radiologist's office. From my first visit, I was fascinated by radiologic machinery and how things like that could help someone get better. "But my initial reaction, before the fascination began, was fear," she said of radiology equipment. "As a child, seeing all those huge machines made me scared that they'd hurt my dad. "My father's radiologist saw my nervousness and leaned down to comfort me, explaining …

Last fall, 18-year-old borough resident and Collingswood High School senior Albert Cavallaro already knew where he'd be headed, post-graduation. That's when Cavallaro was accepted to The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) based on his academic credentials. "(At TCNJ), I plan to major in either English or history, or both," said Cavallaro. "After college, I'm not sure what type of job I'd want to have. I guess I just haven't gotten that far yet." Cavallaro's hardly had time to plan ahead, with the past four years of his life being so busy. "For Collingswood High School, I've been involved with varsity soccer and tennis, Latin Club, National Honors Society and doing layout and design for Yearbook Club," he said. And through it all, Cavallaro's …

Borough resident and 18-year-old Collingswood High School senior Randy Watkins has known what university he’d attend, and which major of study he’d pursue there, since February. “I got accepted to Rowan University early this year,” said Watkins, “where I’ll be majoring in computer science.” Watkins said he discovered his knack for technology in the seventh grade, while working on stage crew for the school theater production. “That was the first time I worked with the light and sound boards, and I liked it right away,” he said. “And I realized I was pretty good at it.” During his second year in Collingswood High School, Watkins was enlisted as an on-site technology aid by school administration. “The district came to me in 10th grade, and …

Carrying a weighted—when advanced-level AP courses are factored in—GPA of 4.6, 18-year-old borough resident and Collingswood High School senior Anna Foote was a shoe-in applicant for any university. Foote was even accepted to The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), one of the state's most competitive colleges. But Foote isn’t your average young woman. Her book smarts and sponge-like retention abilities are balanced by an unusually wise dose of common sense. “TCNJ was my first-choice school, and even though I was accepted, I opted not to attend,” said Foote. “Bottom line—I got accepted to TCNJ, but Stevenson offered me more money.” So off to Stevenson University she’ll go, leaving her Collingswood hometown and settling into the Maryland-based …

He may not know his GPA off the top of his head, but Ron Dunn knows he’s received two B’s in the past—the only blemishes that exist in his entire student career. But amidst the vast sea of A’s that Dunn has accumulated, it’s rather easy to forget about two B’s. And Northern New Jersey-based Kean University did just that, accepting the 18-year-old Collingswood resident and high school senior last month. “I was accepted to Kean for academics,” said Dunn, who will begin his college career Sept. 2. “Once I got in, I contacted (Kean University’s Division III) volleyball coach, and now I’ll be playing volleyball there, too.” Volleyball is something Dunn will carry from high school to college. “I’ve played three sports for Collingswood High …

He's 18 years old. He's a Collingswood High School graduate. He's a lifelong borough resident. And this fall, he's going to Cornell. But when Peter Urian hits the Cornell University campus, his choice of major will take center stage. "I've been accepted to Cornell for viticulture and enology," said Urian. When pressed, he explained. "It's grape-growing and wine-making," said Urian, chuckling. "I was going to pursue food science, but out of nowhere, my dad found out Cornell offered this program. I immediately thought, 'That would be awesome.' And I became really interested in it." When Urian began working at a family friend's vineyard in Cumberland County, he was completely sold. "During harvest, everyone would be in the fields …
