My name is Michele Carpentier and I have spent most of my adult life working in educational support program - first through Head Start, then TRIO Programs. Now I work with both Student Support Services and the Educational Opportunity Program. Education was the key for success in my family and I have dedicated myself to the belief that giving individuals access to education is the only way to actually cause change in our society. EOP helps individuals, families and the State of New York as a whole by better preparing New York State residents to solve the problems of New York State.

As a SUNY Plattsburgh alumni and proud staff member of EOP, I want to personally congratulate you for considering one of SUNY's best institutions and best programs. I have been involved with EOP for a number of years in many capacities. As the associate director, I now have the pleasure of recruiting and selecting each incoming class. Seeing prospective students matriculate and then graduate is a powerful experience. Each student who enters Plattsburgh as an EOP student and commences into the world with a SUNY degree joins a family of proud graduates. The EOP family has a significant impact on New York State. EOP improves the lives of individuals, families and communities. I hope you considering joining us in this exciting venture.

I came to Plattsburgh State in July, 2008 after five years at National Sports Academy in Lake Placid, NY, where I taught French and served as the Dean of Students and Dorm Director. I received a B.A. from the University of Delaware in History Education, with a Minor in French, in 1996, and an M.Ed. from the Pennsylvania State University in College Student Personnel in 1999. I am a fan of "all things college" and love teaching FRS101 in the fall semester. I live in Saranac Lake, but have lived on Long Island, in suburban Philadelphia and Paris.

Greetings from the Educational Opportunity Program! I transferred to the EOP Office in November 2004. What I enjoy most about working for the Educational Opportunity Program is meeting and getting acquainted with the incoming freshman class each summer and seeing their transition from high school to college. I also enjoy celebrating the academic and personal accomplishments they achieve each semester. Please feel free to contact me with questions you have and I will assist you with whatever I can or direct you to the appropriate person.
